Eat, kill, overcome...the American way. Its interesting that so many people are coming out screaming ill will with what is going on with our country today, but what do people expect. We are capitalists, not socialists. We are here to make money and monopolize everything that we see. Art is dead...why would true art exist in a society that dwells on creating the biggest bang for the buck? Its all about making that green. What is selling out? Selling out is the art of making money without the conscience of keeping integritry for ones art. America as a whole is a sell out. Name one person besides the local bum trying to get his nightly fix who goes out and generates anything without the intention of getting something in return. How many popular artists today give up the big houses and the cars with the rims in order to feed half the homeless population of a city for a year. None....you never hear of that. You've got your Tom Morellos and your System of a Downs running around feeding the homeless but if they didn't want that new '57 vintage Strat, their asses would be paying for those people in Santa Cruz or Malibu to be eating for an entire year with the excess money that they have. People sit there and go, "oh they are doing something for the community", true they are doing something, but are they doing all that they can do. I think people like Elton John have more credit than they cause at least Elton has the balls to say, '"i'm a greedy bitch, but at least I give 4 million dollars away to an AIDs charity a year". On the other hand people like Morello sit there and bitch about the "system" while living in their huge houses. Who's the punk? Who is the light and the truth? At least be honest with who you are and say, "yeah, I'm a greed fuck. I own $12,000 in CDs, and I don't even give a dime to domestic affairs".
I'm split. Rose is saying SG is greedy and is devoid of art...you're working for a "porn" site. You are posing for money as guys and gals double click their mouses till orgasm. Who is the sell out? SG for following through with their initial goal of being a sucessful company, or you for selling your flesh for money and then complaining about it. In my opinion art is devoid of a monitary value. Van Gogh sold one painting to pay rent...thats art. Lucas, as rich as the muthafucker is, made Episode 1 to make the next two movies counting on Episode 1 to flop...thats art. Art is my ass strapped to a computer and a guitar/bass/keys/drums to create a record which I know no one will ever listen to. To make art, one must be willing to for-go the fiscal payback, or be devoid of monitary ties. Art is emotion. AHHHHHH!!!!
"Fuck the world, don't ask me for shit."
