Led Zeplin
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Tina Turner
Madonna
Aretha Frankin
The Beatles
Prince
All of these musicians have been around form the 1960's to the present and each one has been a pioneer in music history.
So I ask you this question Where are the pioneers of today?
Rare to find because they do not exist. Why because the face of music has changed from keeping it real to a mass media marketing ploy that does not foucs on the talent but all the BLING BLING and ways to keep the Bling coming into the pockets of these stars at the expense of the fans.
We have the fans who spend there hard earned cash buying concert tickets and expecting a live performance from there favorite icon.
Only to be manipulated by a mic that is off and lots of costumes and a huge stage set. If that is what I want I will go and see a play at least I know the actors are real.
How can we buy into this? It sends a message that we are willing to settle for less when our minds and ears and wallets should be opened for people who really earn it.
So if you hear a CD you like get out there buy it and if you feel inspired for a second do not give up on your dream. Create it and get it out there you never know who you will touch and inspire call me a dreamer but you may even be the next pioneer that changes the face of music.
Otherwise we are going to be stuck watching syndicated episodes of Nick and Jessica, Brittany and Kevin, Carem and Dave. Pimp my ride The Osbournes( but you gotta love OZZY)
KEEP IT REAL! Open your mind and EARS!
That's The Real DEAL
