I truly believe in the freedom of expression. A person should be able to write what they feel or want. And indeed in this country we have this right. But lately the tide is moving towards changes. One group of people can freely use some words and everyone thinks its cool and therefore those writers and artist become filthy rich.
How ever when other groups use the same word...politics kick in and then that writer becomes a racist. And the word hate crime has started to bob up and down in the sea of turmoil that is rising.
The "F bomb" is doesn't bother me that much unless you put my mother in front of it.
It is the "N" word that I find confusing. Some artist throw it around and use it like trash. And they make a lot of money by doing so. But then when other people use it like trash, then the sh.. hits the fan.
But of course with today's thinking it just makes for more publicity.
And this causes me to feel a bit sad that the art of songwriting is becoming so low and it has become dependent on gimmicks and tricks to make money at it.
I see a future without song writers who write about real life and real experiences. A future without gender. A future without feelings, where songs will just be produced by machines. A future where music will just be generic.
Birds create music and they sing like they mean it. They have a purpose to making music that doesn't include the need for money.
Crickets jam all night long and they don't get paid a dime. They always put their best foot forward in the music they make.
