Songwriting is hard. I'm starting a thrash metal band with my friend Colin, and, being the vocalist, as well as the resident egomaniac, I am writing the lyrics. With my attention span, it's difficult to write an entire good song in one sitting, but it is doubly hard to take a break and come back to the song with the same mindset as before. But if I didn't think the effort would be rewarding, I wouldn't bother. It's fun, but it's definitely difficult. At least I don't have to write the riffs; I was never that good at that. That's where I was amazingly able to put my ego aside and find a songwriting partner rather than doing it all myself.
The song I'm writing right now is about Pat Robertson and his diamond mining escapade with the ruthless dictator of Zaire. I don't have the energy to give the details, so if you're interested in how hypocritical and vile Pat Robertson is, follow the links below.
The final link is certainly the most biased, but I have yet to find incorrect information on it. But as you can see, this disgusting misappropriation of funds and faith is documented on several reputable sites as well. Before I release the song on a CD, I intend to find paper sources and put MLA citations in the liner notes referencing said sources. No libel, no slander, only facts.
That is all for now. Don't listen to Pat Robertson, and if you know anyone who does, please do them the service of letting them know the exact kind of person they are looking up to. Pat Robertson and his cronies are to blame for many of the problems in our country today, specifically the unreliability of the media. I don't have links to back that up; I won't do all your research for you. Look about; see the devil on your doorstep.
Rock Hard Ride Free,
