Anonymous Coward User ID: 76409967 United States 10/08/2018 10:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The balance has been unbalanced for so long it seems. I used to see those on here posting that their job was keeping the balance? Well, what fukin balance? Quoting: Jeremiah 29:11 Celebrities (Glamour) are part of the problem. Look at them, worship them, be like them. I dont watch much TV, I used to enjoy a night out at the movies, not so much now. I'm not one who ever got into glamour, but yes, i see those that do. I would rather travel to sacred lands, be outdoors etc, but hell, that seems out of reach these days |

I can't imagine not knowing Pink Floyd and Zeppelin music was out there because it wasn't financially viable to bring that music across the pond. It's different now that producing music or even a movie for that matter doesn't require a crap ton of money any more. I have a studio in my house for less than 5K and can get my tunes out to the world with no problem. Well, let me take that back. Some problem. That problem is no one gives a crap about my music - ha ha ha. Somehow the high barriers to entry that there USED to be culled the herd and made people celebrities because promoters and labels needed to maximize the return in their investment. I guess that's why there's not a whole lotta Chinese and Russian classic rock that I know of. They weren't allowed to make money on it so no one took the chance Government is best which governs least - Jefferson |

People don't want to just sit around and be miserable all the time. The distraction of music or sports or TV leads the mind away from the drudgery of daily life and the soul crushing misery of an existence that will only end when the heart stops beating. Entertainers that are proficient in their craft attract a following, and therefore become enriched. Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. “They’ve got us surrounded again, the poor bastards.” - U.S. Army Paratrooper at Bastogne |
