The Path to Infamy

My motive for writing that last song took into account the needs of my listeners along with my own needs. While I desired to illustrate my arguments in music, I also wanted to give my listeners a musical lift in the middle of the work week and to help them feel more secure about their modest success by contrasting it with the folly of spoiled rock stars and their wealthy sponsors. It's a very good song and I got about as much thanks for it as I did for the four hours of music that were stolen from me by the Crystalids. And when I went to the coffee shop on the day I re-posted it, the cashier accused me of stealing it right in front of me. I'll never visit that coffee shop again. That's really a lousy way to thank an artist, but it's all I ever get around here. The reason why stars like Nickelback steal my songs isn't just because my songs are more popular than their songs - at least on the internet - but because no one, especially the media, wants to admit that I am popular. So these 'artists', who hunger for more public acclaim and more money, think my work is going to waste in my hands because I don't have the support of the business. Did that clown actually say that I would 'never make it in the U.S. with my attitude'? Why did my music make it there?
