I think it's perfectly fine to make money - even if those around you don't think it's proper.

I don't think they lose interest in their audience so much as their audience loses interest in them. I don't necessarily think they're selling out so much as seeking a new audience to replace the one that's moved on.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671496488786956925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17662995.post-56179698194863291462010-04-06T11:15:27.478-05:002010-04-06T11:15:27.478-05:00I forgot about Sweet Emotion.

I'v...I am howling about the Aerosmith comment. I've always wanted to string together Walk This Way, Love in an Elevator, Sweet Emotion, Rag Doll, and a couple of others to make one eight-minute song. It's all the same key, same tempo... it would be relatively simple to just mish-mosh the intro from one, a verse from another, a chorus from the third, bridge from the first again, verse from the fourth, etc. etc. Who could tell?<br /><br />Maybe Perry, Tyler, and company are actually mad geniuses who have spent thirty years on a vast rock symphonic, only nobody noticed.<br /><br />(w/v - clons.

You know, I just wrote all that and completel...Ugh. You know, I just wrote all that and completely forgot that I wanted to include a section saying something along the lines of: But what the hell is wrong with a person just doing whatever it is they want to do it they're happy doing it? Why can't we (those quick to throw out the "sold out" label, that is) just be happy that folks are happy? Are we so innately terrified of other people's joy that we must tear them down to make ourselves feel better?<br /><br />Somehow that got lost while I pecked out all the other crap I wanted to say.Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668947039713922916noreply@blogger.com
