The revolution will not be televised - Gil Scot Heron

Television, the drug of the nation
Breeding Ignorance and Feeding Radiation
Where Oxymoronic language like
Virtually spotless, fresh frozen,
Light yet filling, and military intelligence
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like recession to necessary downturn
crude oil on a beach to mousse
civilian death to collateral damages
and being killed by our own army
is now called friendly fire
TV is the place where the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
TV is
the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple
Television, the drug of the nation
Breeding Ignorance and Feeding Radiation

"The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy"

Quote from Pete Wetherby / Axiom Music

"The business of music is more often than not a world of small minds and little soul, where success is dictated by the ability to locate trends and accordingly manufacture the most lucrative product available. In this context, the lowest forms of capitalism emerge in insidious ways: the isolation and ghettoization of easily controlled "genres" and the encouragement of planned obsolescence as ways to keep up the flow of "product" become the techniques for success. Vision, integrity, significance and expression, the driving forces behind the creative act, are sacrificed as mere obstructions to the workings of business." Quote from - Peter Wetherby / Axiom. - The inventor of the Sony mini disc - The coggi indians.
