JUST RAPPING

RAPPERS WILL PURSUE OUTRAGEOUS AND HYPERBOLIC STANCES AND EVEN PERFORM LYRICS AND IN SUCH A MANNER WHICH SOME PEOPLE WOULD FIND TO BE OFFPUTTING.

RAPPERS ARE SEEKING TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE AND TO SUCCEED IN HAVING A FAN BASE OR A FOLLOWING.

THE POLITICAL BROADCASTERS AND POD CASTERS AND SOME POLITICIANS ARE WRITING AND PERFORMING IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE WAY THE RAPPERS APPROACH THEIR PERFORMANCE.

A LOT OF THE POPULAR WEB CASTERS OR SITE OPERATORS ARE BEING LISTENED TO AND THEIR POSTURING TO ATTRACT VIEWERS AND LISTENERS IS BEING ACCEPTED AS THE TRUTH. IF YOU WISH TO BE ENERVATED OR ENTERTAINED GO RIGHT AHEAD AND FOLLOW THE POPULIST FOLLOWER SEEKERS BUT DO NOT GET YOUR NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THOSE SOURCES. THEY ARE JUST RAPPING.

THE TIME A MUSICIAN WORKS AND PRACTICES MAY BE REWARDED WITH OUTSTANDING EARNINGS. THE WORK MIGHT COME TO FRUITION FOR A LIFETIME OR A SHORT TIME OR NOT AT ALL.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENVIOUS OR RESENTFUL OR FEEL THAT "MAKING MONEY FOR MUSIC" WAS ILLEGITIMATE.

I WORKED A LOT AT ART, WRITING AND MUSIC WHICH IS EVIDENCED BY MY TOTE FILLED WITH TAPES OF SONGS I WROTE AND PERFORMED AND RECORDED AND A BOX OF THE SONGS'  LYRIC BOOKS. MORE RECENTLY I TAPED AND IN SOME CASES PUBLISHED MY WORK ON YOU TUBE AND @blogspot.com .

WHENEVER I HAVE BEEN FIT TO PRACTICE I PRACTICED EVERY DAY OR SECOND DAY FOR THE LAST FIFTY FIVE YEARS. I DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE ANY MONEY.

I STILL DO WATCH SOME LIVE PERFORMANCES ON TV.

HOZIER WAS LIVE ON STEPHEN COLBERT LAST WEEK. HIS MUSICAL PERFORMANCE WAS SCHMALTZ . THE MOST PATHETIC PART OF HIS POSEURISM WAS THAT HE CARRIED HIS GUITAR WITH THE STRINGS BLOCKED ALL THE TIME AND WHEN HE `SOLOED` HIS GUITAR PLAYING WAS WEAK AND IRRELEVANT TO THE SONG AND THE MUSICAL SCORE. 

HE HAD A GUITAR WHICH LOOKED LIKE THIS FENDER.
