Typical AC. I guess you missed:
The real sense of entitlement is believing that you don't have to grow and adapt to changing technology, and that you can refuse to give your customers what they have grown accustomed to (and can get elsewhere) and expect them to stick around.
Did you even read the article?
Doesnt appear that way. IMHO this is one of Leigh's better articles.
"Increasingly I feel like someone needs to sit all these AC's down and explain to them that the internet is pretty awesome, and it isn't going away."
FTFY Leigh.
One tool writing about another tool. (Couldnt resist)
"but it doesn't seem like there's as much, creatively, going on, 'cause most people can't afford to do it."
Um cant afford to do so? Is he living under a rock? So sad. At least he realizes he is an old fogey.
"I think, just in general, our society has gotten to the point where just you click a button, you get what you want when you want it." - Interesting go on:
"So until we get to a point where we realize you don't necessarily always get what you want when you want it, we're gonna have a problem."
Damn. Thought he was going to say something great. FAIL.
Um toolie, we are in the age of want it now, get it now. If your labels cant deliver, than thats not our problem.
The technology is there to easily give your customers what they want when and how they want it with little to no expense to you. If you dont realize that and adapt, please go the way of the dinosaur, or just sit in your rocking chair with your blanket over your legs talking about the good ole days.
No! In the post 9\11 era you are guilty until proven innocent. That is if you can even find out what it is they have against you. It is a national security issue to let you know what you are accused of.
I am going to stop you right here:
Now, what often happens is that with specialty product, or very narrow market product, the only distribution deal that will get signed will be for the area around the artist.
Made sense when you had to print/ship a physical product. But our little 1's and 0's dont have such requirements. So it makes no sense anymore, then anything after this based on this concept is outdated.
Just goes to show, how inept our lamestream media is.
This story was reported on by the AFP wire service, and some tied it to the fact that the State Department recently issued a travel advisory urging Americans to stay away from parts of Mexico.
What bullshit. Sooooo stupid.
I agree with FormerAC, most likely trying to not advertise her whereabouts.
Now as for trying to scrub the stories, that is where the conspiracy lies.
"The administration may have asked the press to pull the story" Gasp! El Presidente asked a "news" publication to censor? No. way.
"Rap is basically the rhythmic recital of poetry."
That's true of all music.
"It generally doesn't require musical skill"
Stated as fact, pure opinion.
"and appears often to be used to cover up poetry that nobody would want to listen to or read in normal circumstances." - Again purely opinion.
"Now, in each category, there are exceptional cases of artists who have taken what are rudimentary ideas and used them to create what many consider art." - I will continue to dismiss them in the rest of my paragraph.
"I don't dismiss any of them as not being art." - Here it comes:
But I will say that each is pretty much on par with my young son using wooden spoons to bang on pots and pans. It's a glorious noise (to him) and pretty much just noise to the rest of us.
So much fail in one post its astounding.
So because you deem it noise, it cannot be music. K. Got it. Consult AC when determining what is music and what is not. Check.
GET OFF MY LAWN, DAMN KIDS!!!!
Now I rock a house party at the drop of a hat
I beat a biter down with an aluminum bat
a lot of people they be Jonesin' just to hear me rock the mic
they'll be staring at the radio
staying up all night
so like a pimp I'm pimpin'
I got a boat to eat shrimp in
Nothing wrong with my leg just B-boy limpin'
Got arrested at the Mardi Gras for jumping on a float
My man MCA's got a beard like a billy goat
oowah oowah is my disco call
MCA hu-huh I'm gettin' rope y'all
Routines I bust rhymes I write
And I'll be busting routines and rhymes all night
Like eating burgers or chicken or you'll be picking your nose
I'm on time homie that's how it goes
YOU HEARD MY STYLE I THINK YOU MISSED THE POINT
it's the joint
"Leigh Beadon and Marcus Crab are the same person."
Meh, old news. Is that supposed to nullify what Leigh/Marcus writes?(It does not.) It's been pretty clear I am no fan of Marcus, but to slam him for this, especially when he was clear from the get go that he was both is pretty silly. Especially when there is so much more to slam him for. Jab jab. :)
I wonder if how many people that say that, and like Paul, actually supported him by voting, instead of "has ZERO shot at winning so ill just vote for the other guy that may have a chance." Hmm maybe Paul would win. Even if he did it would be a neutered presidency at best anyway. He wouldn't be able to do anything.
"I believe at the point that the Senators give the terrorists enough information to get around the system and attack us again."
Thats laughable. You think in a free and open society it is difficult to cause terror? You really think it would be difficult to blow up 30, 40, 50 trucks in a day? (With more than a crude car bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks)
Inside, they discovered three canisters of propane like those used for barbecue grills(with relief valves), two five-gallon cans of gasoline, consumer-grade fireworks — the apparent source of the “pops” — and two clocks with batteries, the mayor said. He said the device “looked amateurish.”
"get around the system" Oh you mean like Mr.Shoe bomber?
Let me tell you a little something, that once understood, will put all of this security theater in perspective. You ready? OK, here we go.
YOU WILL NEVER BE 100% safe. NEVER EVER EVER EVER, in a free and open society, and I speculate in a closed Police State either. If someone is determined enough to do harm, they will find a way. PERIOD. No amount of groping, checkpoints, spying, etc will matter.
So suck it up Americans, time to be brave and live free, than cowards hiding behind perceived security. I am sorry we lost those lives on 9/11, but we have done them no justice in our actions since them, and for that, I am truly sorry.
No theories. We know lobbyists line pockets and pay for legislation. But until concrete proof is obtained, it is just a theory, or suspicion. Just like pay for play. We know it happens. We see it here daily.
Now is that not Grand, massive conspiracies implicating entire groups?
The lobbyist cartel representing a multitude of interests (Massive groups), and which BTW we cant assume all are trying to do bad, paying for legislation from.. hell Mayors on up the food chain.
The whole system is one big conspiracy man. (Sorry had a hippie flashback there)
"without any whistleblowers?" - Well thankfully we have people like Mike Masnick and many others to shine light on the cockaroaches so we know what they are doing.
And this kind of pay for play is just a small example.
Another one, how Government contracts are handed out. (To the hand with most cash)
