Declaration and Reclamation

There is something which has worried me for a great deal of time. I just can't take it anymore...this lack of accomplishment and I feel a sentiment of failure. Perhaps the greatest way to sum up this feeling of madness, confusion, and conviction is a scene from one of my favorite films. I present to you "Network" (1976):

That's just it "I'm Mad as Hell." But what does any of this have to do with Rock 'N' Roll. These are my feelings to being a part of a generation known as the "Millenials" and also my reaction to the saturated/over-bloated mainstream American culture which has resurfaced yet again and it's all our fault. We the people are the power which has neglected it and therefore it has manifested itself. Where is Rock music now? I have no damn idea, but in some ways this is my call out to it because I want it so badly. I don't know where to look anymore. I need help and suspect that I'm not the only one.

Why am I doing this? Mostly it is because I have nothing better to do and I despise the mainstream corporate oligarchy that we are behaviorally conditioned to call the music industry. Better yet one of my favorite terms is the corrupt/broken Indie machine.

Look around you. Is there any aspiration or indication to Rock music even remotely having any impact in the world? Most certainly not in my immediate eyesight or earshot, therefore I demand to know where it is, or else we will need to create it ourselves.

What do I hope to accomplish with this blog? I want begin again. Clear the slate, clean it blank. We and I must establish a blank slate for Rock music. It's not the first time that Rock music has been in trouble nor the first time that the slate has been cleared. It is up to every last one of us to demonstrate how much we care about it. I say it's damn time to do something about it. I will continue to post my ideas, thoughts, and parts of my life on this blog, just to see how far it will go.
