rage against the machine

Posted on December 26, 2009 with 0 comments
watched top of the pops yesterday
while waiting to eat a wonderful christmas dinner
i don't like to be negative so i won't comment
on some of the artists and the programme
but what i would like to say is that
it warmed the deepest parts of my heart
when the number one came up
it was one of the best moments of 2009
seeing rage against the machine at number one
showing the people of the UK that
people care about music
the kind of music that comes from the heart

there is nothing wrong intrinsically with all these
simon cowell inspired competitions
they are very successful
as so many people watch them and buy the records

not my cup of tea but each to their own
so it meant so much to me that people went out of
their way and put their hands in their pockets to
send out a very clear message to the music business

people are not stupid
they like and love music
they have been brought up on
music that is a creative expression
a need to share and communicate
in a real and meaningful way
music is not milk

my heart leapt with joy
and for once got some much needed
faith in human beings and
the world of music

i would just like to finish by saying that
all the musicians and creative people
who keep plugging away in complete isolation
and totally without any support whatsoever
you are an inspiration to us all
the world needs your creativity more than ever
keep believing and hopefully all your dreams
will come true
love and light
