On the subject of pirating and grinding gears...
I have a "friend" (who, in truth I havent seen since like...freshman year of high school, but you know...Facebook) who is big into just about every cause that could come along. Like Sean Penn but without any accolades, or fame, or money. Or hair. It's always "99%! Banks suck! Corporations suck! Obama sucks! Romney sucks! ect ect ect."
While I do not share those opinions, I do not begrudge him holding them. Thats not what this post is about.
What did grind my gears was a post he made on FB a couple of weeks ago, which, paraphrasing was basically "SuchAndSuchMusicGroup is so underground I can't even find any of their music on Pirate Bay for download! Ugh. Sigh."
And yes, first....hipster jerk. But his hats proved that, so it wasnt really news to me.
BUT REALLY? You spend every waking hour it seems reminding people you are fighting for the little guy, walking in marches or posting on FB to talk down and slam everyone who might disagree with your views. And now you are brazenly whining about stealing from the little guy???? Are the band members who arent popular enough to even be regularly pirated not part of the 99%? Maybe you are just a self entitled wad of uselessness.
Instead of reaching your hand into some struggling artists pocket, take a couple days off walking the roads protesting everything to hold down a real job and unass a $20.
Cannot stand hypocrites.
