What it's all about.

Okay, I'm freaking out. Just a little, though.

And I'm not reallllly upset. Not to the point of staying in bed all day, or staring at the ceiling, or throwing stuff.

It's just at the "writing angry--not to mention obscure--blog entries that nobody cares about". That's all.

So, I'm going to change the subject, and just hope that you'll forgive me for my bipolar attitude today. (Oh, and I'm not really bipolar... Just so you know. I'm just acting that way. Which, if you think about it, might actually make me crazier than you thought, since I really don't have an excuse like people with Bipolar disorder do.... I'm going to shut my mouth before something realllllllllly ugly flies out.)

I love watching artists do their work. And by that, I of course mean I love watching people sing. I guess it's fun to make fun of the insincere artists, who only write their music to get on the top 40 singles list... Because when they sing, they are often cold and indifferent, and a million miles away...

Example:

Pop Sensation, while preforming at a prestigious music award ceremony, isn't thinking about all of her crazy, screaming fans, or what her song is actually about, but instead is wondering whether or not she closed the fridge door after taking out a wine cooler yesterday, or if it would be really obvious if she shimmied a little to try and get the wedgie she currently had out of her ass.

But I love those artists who don't care about fame. Well, all musicians care about fame to an extent... But the ones who write their music for a legitimate reason. And I love to watch them sing and preform. It's one of the best things there is to see, in my opinion.

And it's people like that who make me want to do something with myself. And by that, what I really mean to say is, I want to make a difference. Even if not a lot of people notice it, it will still be out there, and it will have an impact.

So, in the spirit of deep musicians, here is a video of an artist who sings like that.

And I'm not saying that being an artist is pretty. This song illustrates that pretty well. But it means something. So, here is Jack's Mannequin featuring Mick Fleetwook, "God."
