The Music Industry

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson

Never a more true statement has been made about the industry. It has been attributed by others to talk about the business they are in however, it was written specifically about the music business. In this episode, which is the season three finale, I talk about the business of music from the very bottom level, the local scene.

Those of you who are musicians who are not familiar with business of music should find this as an eye opener of sorts. Those of you who are not musicians will also find this enlightening and maybe force you to think about what is happening on stage while you are sitting there enjoying the show.

It's A Conspiracy

I wanted to get into this subject for a while now. Conspiracy theorists are a breed all on their own. They believe in some really far out things. The moon landing was faked, 9/11 was an "inside job" or did not happen at all. These people are usually lumped into the category of "harmless". They usually are, however, they like to take every little thing that happens in the news and turn it into some sort of "false flag" event.

It is a fascinating look into human nature. What is really interesting about these people, they believe Alex Jones is the only one in the world who has all this so called "secret" knowledge.

This was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy.

I'm Watching You

Yes, you are being watched. Not just by me, but my many others. Those that are paying particular attention to your every move are recording everything you do. Right or wrong, it's happening. Now, before you get your panties in a twist of this subject and are thinking, "Gee Ric, you are falling into the whole conspiracy thing." Nope. That topic is next week.

You can think of this episode is part one of the subject. Part two goes off the chart and gets into people who goes into the whole conspiracy thing. But that is then. In this episode, I wanted to take a closer look into the lunacy of police forces who like to buy surplus military equipment, spraying random people with pepper spray and how the whole world seems to hate the police.

Eat Me

Some of the things we perceive in this world vary greatly when we actually confront our perceptions. Often, we have an idea of what something is like until we see it first hand. I wanted to take some time to delve into this topic. It started with me on the bank of the Mississippi river where it was incredibly windy. You'll hear that.

But I decided it would be better to just hop in the car and do the rest of this episode while I was driving, with the windows down. Actually, it sounds pretty good considering just how far removed I was from a proper studio. But the conversation does change in a direction I had no idea I would take. It just happened. I began to talk about cannibalism. Why? Perception. I think I got to play with your preconceived notions in this episode.
