LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT:
The REAL Agents of Vision...
...isn't some stupid obnoxious guitar/drum band (u know who)
playing in some stupid obnoxious blues club (u know where)
in some stupid obnoxious city (etc)
with stupid obnoxious residents (etc)
listening to stupid obnoxious noise (etc)
being played by stupid obnoxious musicians (who know who)
who think that LOUD GUITARS & LOUD DRUMS
have to rule the STAGE....
AGENTS OF VISION:
...is music beyond amplifiers
...is music beyond electricity
...is music beyond "traditional" lyrics and themes
...is music beyond loud drum beats
...is music that breaks free from the "must have a guitar sound or drum beat" mentality
...is music beyond being performed on a set stage
...is music beyond a specific time to be performed
...is music that is constantly being performed by natural sounds every minute
...is music that INVOLVES instead of discriminates
AND:
...is music without anal band leaders worried about stupid written notes
...is music without anal band leaders scolding musicians in front of sparse audiences who don't really care if "mistakes" were made!
...is music without anal band leaders freaking out if the song isn't played like the recorded version
...is music without anal band leaders worried about "crowd reaction"
...is music without stupid musicians who "over play" and telling me "less is more" in the same breath!
...is music without stupid musicians worried if a guitar player shows up
...is music without stupid musicians worried about "rushing the beat"
...is music without stupid musicians worried about telling me to "turn up and down" at the same time!
...is music that "doesn't have to sound like a particular artist" mentality
IF YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF IN ANY OF THE ABOVE,
YOU ARE A MUSICAL LEMMING ON A SEA CLIFF
ABOUT TO DIVE INTO THE OCEAN
Go ahead and dive! Your elimination will strengthen the human gene pool!
=======================================================================
Y'know....the answer is REALLY simple!!!!!
LET'S GET RID OF AMPLIFIERS!!!!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON EXPEN$IVE ELECTRICITY!
YOU CAN KEEP PLAYING DURING BLACKOUT$!
YOU CAN PLAY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME WITH ANYONE!
YOU CAN $AVE ON DOCTOR VISIT$ TO A$$E$$ EAR DAMAGE!
YOU CAN MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAT DOESN'T MAKE IDIOTS TURN UP THE GAIN DIAL!
You can teach generations on the issue of ............DYNAMICS!
You can $ave future health care cost$ by eliminating $tre$$ and physical breakdown$ caused by loud mu$ic!
You can save generations from mental illnesses brought on by loud noises!
You can save generations FROM BEING JADED CYNICS LIKE MYSELF FROM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF MUSICIANS AND THE MUSIC BUSINESS!!!!
