The 60s were then ..this is Now Do you want to be Beethoven? Immortalized but dying penniless and deaf?? No more Royalties for Stevie Nicks or BD when Classic Rock goes defunct
Money Blues by Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy Sittin' here thinkin' Where does the money go Sittin' here thinkin' Where does the money go Well, I give it to my woman She ain't got it no more Went out last night Bought two eggs and a slice of ham Went out last night Bought two eggs and a slice of ham Bill came to three dollars and ten cents And I didn't even get no jam Man came around Askin' for the rent Man came around Askin' for the rent Well, I looked into the drawer But the money's all been spent Well, well Ain't got no bank account Went down to start one But I didn't have the right amount Everything's inflated Like a tire on a car Everything's inflated Like a tire on a car Well, the man came and took my Chevy back I'm glad I hid my old guitar Come to me, mama Ease my money crisis now Come to me, mama Ease my money crisis now I need something to support me.
Props to the man for looking around at the world and making sure his great grandkids never have to work
Yeah, I was just a few bucks off on gilmours black strat last year. 4 million. Irsay beat me to it, I shouldn’t have stopped for that coffee on the way there, left me a little short.
Or his rehab facility in Antigua. Last I heard it was going bankrupt (yay!), and fuck him hard for perpetuating that useless nonsense in the first place. It's not science, it bankrupts people in turn over what they can get for free, and walking on a beach for $100K a pop doesn't save lives. They recently threw in CBT to the utter dismay of 12 Stepping morons to make believe like they're doing something. Just go to the Library and read Albert Ellis for Fuck's Sake. I have a very personal ax to grind because I have people in my life who should not be dead. Just because something is pervasive doesn't mean it has merit. In fact, it's fucking horseshit. I will debate anyone on this, and to whomsoever may decide to try it, prepare to lose. Badly.
There's only one cure for addiction no matter your poison: you have to want to quit more than you want to continue. That's all there is to it. Re-map your brain. It can be done. It's done every day. The thing is, there's no money to be made off the backs of human suffering with that. Addiction is an industry full of conscienceless people who should only die a violent death.
