Forty years down, thirty spent stirring the pot, and sixty-five reasons why you’re actually decent.
Not trying to label you a total nerd, but... actually, scratch that. That's low. You're likely just the quiet, thoughtful type in the group, and honestly? One of the favorites among the real fans. If the rest of the music business acted more like you, things might not be such a mess.

So, you're basically telling me I'm 40% deep, 30% controversial, and 65% just plain nice? That’s... an interesting way to slice it. Honestly, if you do the math, that adds up to 135%, which I guess is my way of saying I don't really care about your little percentages... anyway, I'll take it. Most people probably find me a bit much, or too quiet, or both... but hey, being "nice" most of the time keeps things from getting too messy... maybe...
Look, I’m not trying to label you a total geek here, but... actually, scratch that. That’s a bit harsh. You’re more like that quiet, deep-thinking guy in the bandβ€”the one everyone secretly respects and follows in those niche indie circles. Honestly, if the rest of the music industry had more people like you, things might actually be tolerable around here...

Man, this totally reminded me of one of those brilliant quotes by Hunter S. Thompson... hold on, let me dig around and find it...

Well, here we go...

The music industry is nothing but a shallow, cutthroat money pitβ€”just a long, sterile hallway filled with thieves and predators running wild while decent people get chewed up and thrown away like trash. It’s brutal. And honestly? That’s just the dark side of it...

Found it:

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."


solid.

I guess someone once said drugs were bad, too? πŸ˜‰

Luke is pretty much the only one I know who brought edibles on the trip, and he managed to polish off four of them that nightβ€”basically a hippie dose. Even then, he wasn't exactly tripping hard; everything just looked a little sketchy to him.

It’s Kurt Cobain! 😲

Honestly, he was the one guy I only ever listened to because my neighbor would blast him through those insanely massive, over-the-top speakers of his. 😁

Wait, remind me againβ€”how long ago was it that he passed? I need to know so I can figure out when it'll be my turn! 😁😁😁

The guy I only ever heard through my neighbor’s obnoxious, massive floor speakers. 😁

Wait, how old was he when he checked out? Just trying to gauge my own timeline here. 😁😁😁

27, if I recall correctly. Same age as plenty of other rock legends who called it quits early.

Neil Young

Same here:

John Bonham
49 depth, 60 controversy, 46 talent
With a solid dose of talent and just enough of an edge, I suppose you're quite similar to John Bonham. That hair is great.
32% on depth
94% on controversy
69% on musicianship

John Bonham

50 depth, 60 controversy, 58 talent

With a solid dose of talent and just enough grit, you're definitely channeling John Bonham. Digging the hair.

Man, you’re a loose cannon. I’d suggest you settle down, but honestly, that sounds like a recipe for disaster.
