Things About The '80s Music Industry That Are Truly Messed Up

Imagine being *SO PRIVILEGED* that one can 'hate' me for ...


... not liking Kylie Minogue.

GOOD F*****G GRIEF!!!!

I posted a response to someone who commented on Kylie Minogue; and I was pretty much on board with what they were saying...

They said something along the lines of 'our very own Kylie Minogue' who had become an 'international superstar' etc.

I responded by saying, 'with the help of some *very skilled PR*' and executives and the like.

And of course, I got told I was 'making myself look dumb' and that I was 'supposed to be an artist'.

I started off explaining (very calmly), that I wasn't critical so much of her as a 'performing artist' or human being - she got her 'humble beginnings' in acting (especially in the TV soap opera, Neighbours), and then her numerous hit songs afterwards.  Meanwhile, her sister Danni (Danielle) Minogue got her start in Young Talent Time.  As did Jason Donovan (who played Scott) and Craig McLachlan (who played Henry).  So, they obviously made a few connections in the music industry 'down under'.

This is when things 'soured' - I got accused of 'being jealous' and asked why more Australian musical artists aren't as 'successful' as her.  I explained to this person that I wasn't trying to dismiss her talent, however, I also believe (and I will stand by that belief) that there are many *other* artists that are just as 'worthy' of success, both locally and internationally - mainly because they had been around longer *and* therefore had been 'paying their dues' because of it.

That's when the 'issue' began to 'escalate' - I got accused of 'Tall Poppy Syndrome and then also told again that I was being 'dumb' and 'lame'?  Seriously????

I guess (after another time, when the individual was not going to 'back down'), the person was obviously being a 'troll', I thought I would 'retreat' by saying, 'I guess I am small fry then, and that must make me a JEALOUS HATER'.  

Hopefully, that took the wind out of their sails.  

I mean, if my art work is that bad, then what the heck is that person doing on my profile.  Don't like it, leave.  I don't know you AND I don't want to know you!!!!  And I've checked your profile too - and I see NOTHING!!!  AT LEAST, I have SOMETHING!!!

Okay,  rant over!!!  Time to create more 'hate content' for my channel.

Casey Heynes and Bullying

I have copied and pasted this blog entry onto the End Metallophobia blog (from my regular Night Owl blog).  Even though it is not specifically relevant to heavy metal, I think it is important to understand we all have times in our lives where we are bullied in some form or another, and we all have our 'breaking points'.  In particular, metalheads who have been bullied and can relate to it will enjoy it.  A few weeks' ago, this youngster (a 15 year-old boy from St Mary's, NSW, Australia) was on the news. He didn't do anything particularly 'extraordinary' but his actions had extraordinary outcomes for many people who could relate to his story, who are surprised what they are capable of when they decide to fight back. It shows that we all have our breaking point, and even though none of us wants to reach it, sometimes it is a necesary evil Casey Heynes was one such person who, for most of his life, was bullied for being overweight, but when he hit high school...

Why I love Rock and hate the Dance scene

By Laine Michelle Allen (a friend on Facebook) Share Yesterday at 06:55 OMG where do I start....There's been a few things said about the rock scene lately that is really getting to my nerves and I had to get this off my chest.... Despite the fact one of my dad's favourite bands is ACDC he was being a bit of a smart ass to me and my cousin when he tried to prove rock bands don't last long.... so he asked "Name one band that has lasted over 10 years..... As much as I love my dad, my cousin and I shot him down in flames as the list went on: ACDC, motley crue, gunners, iron maiden, judas priest, bonjovi, kiss, dokken, megadeth, metallica, skid row.... omg the list just goes on. DANCE PEOPLE: Can you name any pop group who has been going for nearly twenty years, still producing albums to this day AND DOES NOT USE MUSIC ENHANCING to make themselves sound good. Another point of mine: half of it is remixes and voice enhancing effects to the point where I reckon with the t...
