I could write a few sentences about the influx of corporate rock and the materialization of art, but really..

Exchanged for RQ seems like. I can live with that. Best song on AFD.

The man is still capable of a great performance and once in a blue moon, produce good music. In this day and age that gives you a lot of leeway. To me it's hardly a consolation that a McDonalds burger is reliable and on time when it tastes like crap. That's the majority of the musical scene today. Professional to the bone, but shit.

I saw Faith No More and Metallica a few years ago, talk about phoning it in. I'd rather wait a few hours for a real rockstar.

In the old days you could just hand them a bundle of cash. Political corruption has been under intesified scrutiny for decades and it's hard to belive the stuff they got away with just 20 years ago. Still with all these resources and focus the corporate hold on government has only increased. To the point where not only do they do as they want put they even have government, ie. you and me, fronting the whole party.

If you ban contributions corporate goons will just start funding their own campaigns. Then you have to ban political ads. But they own the media so they can still control the debates. Then you have to get into all sorts of tyranny to resolve a bundle of new issues. As we're talking about drugs, prohibition and throwing money at the problem has gotten us nowhere.

Even if it should work you'd have to get it passed in the house. And you, a top 1 percentile political activist, won't even consider giving the vote to the ONE guy that could maybe, just maybe get such a thing through. So if you won't do it, who will?

You need defense. You don't need 200 military bases and a major war every generation. You don't need 700 billion to pay for a bunch of grunts in Germany and Iceland holding their dicks.

You don't need a million people in jail for substance possession.

The last 90 years have had government supervision of Wall Street through the FED, which have lead to 20 small and 4 major depression and recessions. Sure you want to give them even more power?

Small government is what made America great. Big government is what has for the last 100 years turned the country and the west as a whole into a national security state in a state of almost continous war and in bottomless debt. Totally at the mercy of elitist bankers and financiers.

I still expect new music at some point. Didn't give up, just got used to waiting.
