Axe Murderers
Krude recently spew a Tweet from his BlackBerry that
didn't receive any likes or responses. Roughly 100 Twitter people did
at least peruse the message. All I asked was if anybody could name a legit
guitar playing hero that debuted no earlier than 1998. Easy enough question to
comprehend. Tough question to answer. Personally,I could only think of Jack
White. But he is more known for his voice and song writing prowess. His
guitar chops are ok. Very unique. But where are the talented musicians to carry
the torch for the Gen Z crowd?
Millions of people watched something called American
Music Awards recently. Did anybody spot anybody playing a guitar or even
performing a solo during that broadcast? I doubt it. Popular music is not about
change its current saccharine formula for download sales.Beat,melody
hook,repeat.And tits.Not a bad formula,if you live on a steady diet of Cheez
Doodles and Red Bull.
Krude has confession. I use Axe spray as a deodorant
on some days. The can of Axe I use is of the 'limited edition' variety called
Mature. I found a bunch of these cans in an Atlantic City boardwalk dollar
store. Works great for me. Doesn't smell too 'almost' trendy like most Axe
scents. Just punch a little under the pits and go. Not everyday. But a few
times a week. And never as a body spray. Christ, that would be torture to my
work mates and clients. Not to mention the gf.
Krude recently read that Guitar Hero video game went
belly up. No more new plastic 4 button joysticks for the wannabe rock gods to
manipulate. Good riddance. After watching my then 10 year old son in 2008 play
the Accept classic Balls To The Wall on a Guitar Hero guitar,I decided
that GH was evil. He was kicking all sorts of ass on those 4 colorful buttons
for a song that only requires two fingers to play it for real on most of the
song. So I taught him to play the real Balls To The Wall riff. And he has been
playing a real guitar ever since.
Is learning how to play an instrument like a guitar too
difficult for kids these days who are brought up on Iphones,video on demand,and
drive thru Dunkin Donuts? Attention spans for most people ranges from none to
barely any. Sitting at home with a smart phone and a fridge full of junk food
is all most people need to fulfill their need for Happiness. Not Krude.
Never. I go for it. Every day. Let the weak sit back and get fat. I live and
learn. And live some more.Mahalo
