    • @I_scooter_fast
      @I_scooter_fast Před 5 lety +27

      I'm getting that vibe but can you expand.. He isn't just this awkward im hoping... It comes off that he thinks he is superior to the main stream news network. While he may be a genius and superior to him in terms of musicianship, I found his attitude to be that he thinks he is SO FAR OUT and just KNOWS MORE and really just a lack of HUMILITY and etiquette. I'm really into all these young new UBER talented musicians cropping up on CZcams, but if the "future of music" is just cocky hipsters who think they are better than everyone else while actually stumbling through an interview and sending a mixed message. I think I get the intention and while it does speak to a millenial, ironic, hipster, superior, indie anti-establishment, BULL SHI*, then that, my friends, is not the pinnacle of human awareness.
      sometimes IT'S JUST NICE TO BE NICE.
      By being articulate, grateful, and showing respect, I think the impression wouldn't have left such a mixed taste in my mouth. And yes I listen to them and many other talented musicians that aren't on the dumb-as* radio....doesn't mean I need to be a dic* about it or think I am so alternative that I must be on some other level to the "super main stream straight edge idiots"who watch the news...AKA literally millions of people.
      ORRRRR in the case that he is really not playing a part, and is truly just this inept at human interaction.....then uhh, I'm glad he has a career in music and has found his niche bc this ain't it.

      @999a0s Před 5 lety +48

      ​@@I_scooter_fast to concisely and seriously address your comment - respect is earned, not given, and nightly news networks have proven time and time again that they aren't worthy of it. there is an inherent power asymmetry when someone is brought on a show like this - they're not brought there to expound on a multifaceted and complex issue, they're there to be pigeonholed into their perceived "controversial" position or role within the story by the anchor. as such there is absolutely no reason to treat the medium with respect. you may as well be silly

      @kdt I see that too. Yeah it may not be that bad and I'm definitely looking pretty far into it which I tend to do lol. But I still believe he might have alienated possible fans with the attitude. But yeahz I agree their music is great and they are pure and talented musicians who appreciate or respect music itself for sure!! Haha I'm surprised how many comments my random rant got. Nice !

    A friend is a songwriter and has songs on Spotify in 2023. He gets 1 one hundredth of 1 penny every time his song is played. Jack got 60 hundredths 5 years ago. Same thing on CZcams. In some cases people that used to get paid by CZcams are now being asked to PAY to POST their content. It's like being in a band and going from Club Owners paying you to play the club to you Renting the club and charging a cover charge to make money.
