Even if millions of people could potentially like your song its not gonna do anything because youtube and the powers that ve will make sure it doesnt reach many and if it does it doesnt matter because you wont make money from it and wont be officially recognized.

    I stopped buying music from the labels sometime shortly after the Napster fiasco. I am not going to blow 10-20 (what it was) for an album from someone that I don’t know if 1 song on there is one I liked. And since I don’t listen to the radio it kind of freed me up of spending several hundred albums every few months. Love your music Tom. Keep it up! Keep standing against the labels.

      Tom is completely controlled. Just not on paper. That's the whole scam. They make you believe that he came up organically and hasn't sold out because he isn't signed, but in the background he is being funded by a silent party who tells him what he can and cannot say. He's playing a role. His job is to promote neoconservatism, which is anti conservative in nature. He had Blair White (another neocon grifter) in one of his music videos.
