I guess that amongst all of you currently readin’ this, no one would say that he (or she) doesn’t love music, but, as usual – and the ladies will understand what I’m sayin’ – stating is a thing, meanwhile making the proof of it is a far different one…
Words often turn into simple blah blah blah and God knows how much we’re surrounded by them in almost every topic in life. You would hear here or there people talkin’ about their fight for a specific cause, when doin’ the opposite on their day to day life. Politicians tellin’ us how everything’s gotta change and doin’ no better – if not worst – than their predecessors. People criticizing capitalism and wearing its symbols in the same time such footwear and clothes. Ecologists doin’ none other than buying diesel motorized cars or leavin’ the dogs makin’ a pee on the neighbour’s car… And the list goes on & on !!! Not to mention those clubbers, who not content havin’ their names on the guest list drink the bottle that they brought with incognito in the loo. And those numerous pretending to be devotees, if not militants who, in the meantime download free files and eventually make trade out of’em… And this is how we are today, seing our society in loss of diversity, under the domination of more & more powerful multinational trusts.
Many are those you may hear here or there sayin’ how music has become too expensive on their will to justify free downloading, forgetting thereabouts even that everything has an expense which has no other choice than being financed unless seing the whole system goin’ to its death. Although we may understand how one or two valuable cuts per album are not necessary enough to justify its purchase, let’s not forget in the same time that downloading has also a certain cost, from the acquisition of a computer to the monthly access fees and I’m not even talking about the installation of more & more performant programs. True, you might then also hearing people tellin’ you that it’s possible to get those for free ; but let’s not forget neither how those cracked programs are often synonymous with the intrusion of spywares, when not viruses eventually needing the assistance of specialists whose fees may end up being much higher than a 20 something good ol’ vinyls with their sleeves & the credits!!!
But maybe is it to believe that those who pretend lovin’ music do it accordingly to what’s on display today: I mean products put into circulation by white collars being asked to have nothing else but a knowledge of the big distribution trade techniques. And the cycle to be then ended with a subsequent music made to respond to formats which have been dictated by the latest. As for the others – those who refuse that system – they’re left with no other choice than counting on their own finances (in other words, not that much in ciomparizon) and try to do it !
It’s more than ever those peeps that we’ve got to support while purchasing their products and paying our due when they show their faces here or there. There’s no other choice unless sein’ them disappearing and kill the diversity which – should all we remember – remains one of the essential factors of the world’s wealth such as we basically found it. The only question being: shall we know how and do we solely want to keep it alive? MFSB
