It's a great story. It has everything. You have supposed good, supposed evil, counter culture, desert vulture, Fahrenheit 451 scenes, and a society that still doesn't have a clue.
Then there are thieves stealing from other thieves. That's where Charlie and I relate. I'm sure he borrowed a bit...we all do but we all don't dance to the same drummer and are often times prone to different kinds of wind resistance that shapes who we are. The more out there you are and disconnected with so called "normal people" the more farout your expressions will be. So i borrowed too but threw in plenty of my own take.
Just like Charlie someone came along and helped them selves to my creation....YES dill-hole MY CREATION and went wild with it. They didn't take it as far as the people who stole Charlie's music but certain people benefited financially. That still doesn't register in the minds of those who stole from me. They figure they didn't press anything up(I've seen things to the contrary) so it was all for fun. What about the money generated by the forums where these stolen goods were displayed/advertised? How about the filesharing sites they encouraged to give my song away for free? Based upon the counts I tallied it was in the 100's of thousands.
Charlie's music was taken by the Laurel Canyon music fabrication machine. They robbed someone who had nothing just to make a buck they didn't need. I could have used a few bucks too. I wonder how they'd feel if someone stole some of their entertainment memorabilia? Everything I create is memorabilia that just happens to be music. I'm an expressionist. I live to express. Yet somewhere along the lines certain people( just like the greedy sob's who robbed Manson) got the idea I was for the taking...
Someday a terrible tragedy will enter their lives...a light will go on and they will think of me...
