i've been writing a lot of shit lately and i've sort of finish writing whatever that i'm supposed to write. well thats because i've been into so many shit lately. can't say its negative or positive. it is sort of both. and by shit i don't mean only problem, some are good experiences too. i mean those shit are accumulation of feelings, transfers, separation, examination, people and etc. i kinda got a lot to swallow in these days. but the good thing is that, i'm shutting them out one by one and i'm a free man. so it kinda gave me a clearance to just try something new. and i tried something new yesterday.s omething that i had never done before. and thats socialization with someone who is already working and drinking beer in a place where there's great performers. it was like after slash concert and we kinda hit it at some bar in tropicana mall call artista.
it was my first time and fuck it was fuckin awesome. drinking some beer that i'm new to called killkenny and listening to these two performers who are father(lolen) and son(musa). now the highlight of the night wasn't slash's concert to me. i was personally touched by them. by their story. they are one of the most wonderful people i've ever met man. very humble rockers. and let met tell you why.....
so we went there, and then these two performers who are strictly acoustic performers were performing a series of classic rock stuff. their main genre is that and man they play so fucking good acoustics man. they kinda wanna be labelled as just pure acoustics. both of them are thin, and they have that rock and roll hair and they are really good. and me not being in the scene i would have no idea what kinda person they really are. so they took a break, and then the father came over and shook my hand and so did the son. i was like oh cool. i didn't know he actually came and did that. and then they just sat down with us and we drink beer and we talk. its so fucking cool, all 5 of us plays the guitar and all 5 of us are so understanding on where we came from in terms of music.
one of the things we talk about is that, fuck if you talk about classic rock and playing just pure guitars, all they will say is just that its noise and shit. its horrible. play something like gaga or something. lolen is a funny guy man he was talking to me so fuckin close to my face which i'm cool wiht it, but then it became even more weird when he speaks directly to my ear. oh he was aweosme. he told me, not to give up in rock and roll man. to play the guitar you gotta play from the heart and soul. oh it was awesome man. never had a rocker touched me so much before. no homo. musa on the other hand is only fuckin 19 years old and both of them are like shredding with acoustics man. thats fucking hard. its just fuckin hard. learn a lot of shit with stage fright through his tellings.
now the awesome part besides teh performance is that, man the dad is like trying hard to land a deal for his son who is still young. they ain't got no stereo at home. dad been jobless for6 years because all he ever did and wanan do is just to be an entertainer. and the guy who went with us has a studio as part of the company. and the dad was just trying to do all he can for his son. to make him have a better future. he said he can be a sessionist and his son can be the star. he needs an opportunity. and its a fucking tough world. no father would wanan see his son to go through what he goes through. another tough part of the business that edmund the guy who has the studio strongly beleives they are talented and they are really good. classic rock and all but then if you wanan make it in the business, then you have to sell out. you gotta play pop rock, you gotta sacrifice your image and you gotta go clean if you wanna go mainstream. thats the difference between what you like and what other people like.
and thats the first time i get a first hand view on doing business in a casual environment. you gotta use your words carefully eventhough your half drunk. you can't give empty promises man. alright blogging this, i'm sort of tipsy. so i didn't exactly refine what i said. but overall those two guys are fuckin awesome.

Well , i have to say i respect people like them .
They really have the heart to do what they wanna do .
But the industry is moving to fast ..its not easy to catch up and live your dreams .
yea. they're good but they're struggling. just because of chasing the dream when the world right now is not accomodated to their genre.
