Before the Music Dies...

Great film. Before it happens though, I have to get this off my chest.

Why is it that mainstream radio and major record labels HATE being dangerous? They're so safe with everything they do. That's what's killing the music, ya know?

It's crazy to think that Janis Joplin wouldn't have had a chance in hell at being signed to a major record label had she been born 40 years later. It's true. But she was REAL. That's what we need now more than ever. We need REAL artists.

I like Jacob Augustine because he is REAL. Fucking REAL.

The Beatles wrote great songs that were REAL and reflected REAL people. You and Me.

Grizzly Bear. REAL. Common. REAL. Bonnie Raitt. REAL. Pearl Jam. REAL.

Just be real. Not safe. Real. REAL.

Ok. Kill it.
