money trumps beliefs.

nothing really new. a generalization that stretches from the first time that man took money for artistic services rendered.


shipe and i were talking about the commercialization of rock music and how it's hard to take a band's revolutionary threats serious when they run out on a stage sponsored by AT&T.

people dress like they're some type of counter-culture bohemians, but they're just as corporate as the preppiest armani-skinned businessman.

kinda depressing.


shipe rested in memories of zeppelin though, talking about how the band played until it was time, and then they broke up with no reservations.

i talked about indie-music and how it at least tastes pure to me, lacking the mass-money produced texture of bigger acts...


I guess both Shipe and I lost a little trust yesterday.
