So, I picked up the Nas yesterday…Eh, maybe it will grow on me. I’m pretty finicky lately as to what music I’m feeling. 2008 has been lackluster as far as hip hop goes. Maybe I’m listening to the wrong genre? Maybe I’m just old? Maybe there is to much saturation? I can’t put my finger on it.
Some thoughts…
I guess the reason I do music is…a) I like to listen to the sound of my voice b) It’s creative and helps with stress, tension c) It’s fun and you get to be involved with like minded artists and shows get rocked d) It’s like my alter ego aka secret identity aka I feel like a super hero or super villain and…e) freedom of speech is king!
Now, while Freedom Of Speech is king some people so just NOT do music. Examples…
Orin Hatch: PLEASE stop. I get it, you are friends with Kennedy. It’s touching that you wrote “Headed Home”. Cancer sucks, I know. You just need to stop…PLEASE. Side note…he has written hundreds of songs on patriotic themes…with such titles as "Freedom's Light" and "I Love Old Glory". I would have ghostwritten some tunes for Ashdown if he would have asked. One possible title for a Pete Ashdown song could have been “Orin Hatch Sucks At Music”.
Mike Meehan: You are probably asking who the EFF is Mike Meehan. I saw this jokers billboard on the Daily Show last night (see attached pic). Check out …”The Republican Song”. Is this guy from Utah as well? I was surprised to find out he isn’t. Peep the lyrics…

Word’s escape me, WOW. Stating if a Democrat wins in November we will be attacked by terrorist's? WHAT??? This has to be joke. It’s not…and this guy SUCKS as bad as cancer.
On a positive note, I present…One Day As A Lion.

The author of the original The Republican Song (which is completely the opposite of Meehan's) is as amused by Meehan as you are.
I mean, who can't like a song that begins, "The Democrat secular progressive movement"... err. Wow, what a picture that paints in my head. Err, not exactly :-).
