It occurs to me that one reason why celebrities were so weak at convincing people to vote for their preferred candidate this time is that they can't even convince people to go see their crappy movies or listen to their crappy albums.

Back in 2016 there was still a chance one of them might put out a movie people like, or an album people like, but it's been 8 years, and lots of people don't even have netflix anymore because virtually nothing worth watching has come out for almost 10 years! "Oh, it's all those people who can't make a movie or an album, and they're telling us to do something. Huh."

Oh yeah.

lol "I'm Eminem! I like Men! My pronouns are they and them!"

Turns out Eminem was the mask, he was Ken Kaniff all along!

Samson's political stuff was great, but he was like "fuck this I want to do actual rap again" and he's still damn good.

I'm not actually huge into Tom McDonald, I just don't feel his stuff for the most part.

Yeah, big reason for everyone to try to put something out there. Write a book, sing a song, do some art, whatever. There's a huge gap and it's slowly getting filled by people who do something and it turns out people really like it. (of course, accept that your thing probably won't be that, but hey nothing ventured nothing gained)

Even in college, a lot of the stuff I'd listen to is stuff made by people I knew. It was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth so it wasn't like you could fit a lot on a 32MB MP3 player.

Actually, saying that got me to try to dig down the rabbit hole to find the songs again, and I was able to track down an archive.org version of the website, but all the songs are gone and I found out the band basically gave up around 2005 and probably never put out any more songs. It's crazy because it really makes you realize how transient a lot of the old Internet was. The webpage is gone, the server hosting his email is gone, the other websites he links to are gone. Even my own files, I've got stuff from older computers, but one dead hard drive and you lost everything back then (especially if you were too dumb to at least try to make CD backups), so there's a lot that's just dust in the wind, never coming back.

This is a real rabbit hole now... I can't believe the fan fiction site I used to read back in 2000 is still up.... (don't look into the light, it's bad for you, it'll swallow your soul and make you a furry)
