Stop blaming the media....


Power of Media
Music

The media….
The blasted media. They come under such fire for being the reason people are living through such a miserable existence called life. But if life is existing then how does the media determine your reason for living? Sure I can offer you plenty of drugs but it’s up to you to take them. You may take them and try them and if you complain about the results of the drugs why would you continue to use them? How intelligent is that?
I think the media controls me through the news….but hey turn on CNN what’s going on? The media only informs you of what is going on, it is up to you to decide on if you want to listen to it. In the film Mo Better Blues Denzel Washington and a beautiful actress say the term,”People either teach you one of two things what to do and what no to do?”
Sure they may tell you that the house is on fire but do you smell smoke? Of course you do that is the marijuana that all the famous rappers are burning as they do drive bys in the hood everyday. That is the fire of the rock bands as they make crystal method on their tour bus as they pop xanax and millions of willing women unveil garments and fight for their attention. Reality TV! We must keep it real! But what if reality isn’t real to people?
It seems as if people accept the lies. The things they know could not possibly be true and run with it. A commerical isn’t literal, the news isn’t always right, but can you blame the news for someone stupid enough to accept it.
I cannot knock any musician that makes music for a certain genre and makes money of creating words and painting pictures. The people that respond to that are the foolish ones, and emulate that are the idiots.
Don’t say the “N” word. Girls say they are tired of being looked upon as objects but then another woman get’s on a commercial and takes her clothes off for money. So is that the media’s fault or the women that participate. We are what we make ourselves as a society.
The media can force a genre of music or clothing on you all they want but it’s up to you to buy it. We make the stars and then tear them down that is the basis of entertainment….building up a star then tearing down a star to make room for another star. The media has power but we the people give it power.
I don’t take anything off face value. No one makes me do anything I don’t want to do. Now I will show a quick video that I found interesting.

The funny thing about this song is that…..well, it speaks so generally about society they are so wiling to accept something off of face value and not do the research because they think it’s preety or in other words popular.
This song came out at a time when grunge was popular and people were nirvana fans just to be nirvana fans. It’s always a struggle to keep the purity in music once it becomes popular. The posers pop up and it is incredible they suck the life out of art. The media gives us the chance to choose between art and entertainment. Life and death. Intelligence or stupidity.
The media actually if they controll everything it’s good. Some people if they can’t think for themselves need to be thought for. So some people probably owe the media a favor. What would you do without the media if they think so much for you?
But I digress. Thank you Kurt Cobain for making a special guest apperance…..and remember the media doesn’t kill people, people that think the media kills people kill people.
