The sad truth
Music today just isn't the same as it once was. Once upon the time it wasn't about the money... it was about spirituality, putting poetry to the sweetest of riffs, most importantly it was actually about the music. Traveling to New York, San Francisco, London, Woodstock, just to play and have others appreciate your musician ship. We saw what happen during the Classical era happen again on a global scale. Instead of just going through London, Paris, Vienna, Venice, Rome, and Prague you go to New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, Tokyo, Rio De Janeiro, and it was great. I would give anything if I personally could revive that notion. Maybe it's just me listening to a little bit of Hendrix right now, but I think I have that capability. Music needs to go back to being art, not this whole cycle of we sign you to write generic top 40 hits and you get 1% of the profits. We just need to come together and fix the music industry. We need an indie revolution on the airwaves. That is the only way we can fight this war, unless someone within an industry gets fed up and goes indie. I feel so good right now, I had to get that off my chest. Bring back what made the 60s and 70s so great. The Led Zeppelins, The Jimi Hendrixes, the Doors-types, The Steve Millers and Janis Joplins. And lets give them freedom to do whatever they want and still get recognized.

So true my man. In the same vein, when was the last time you heard a smokin' lead solo in a NEW song ? It's been fuckin' years.
