@GreenFire Allow me to insert a shameless plug to a past where I tried my absolute hardest to steer people in a direction away from this future. To be clear, I wanted a much shinier present.

It seemed obvious, to me, that the advent of social media would amplify the degree to which freedom had been taken for granted.

We didn't have the money for polished production, and Summerfest preferred that our songs sound more like our Beatles variety, not the Henry Rollins meets Joe Jackson kind in our bag.

Now, everyone has access to their "very own agent" tied to a platform, and I have to pay the price for it. Huh?

Truth doesn't sell well, and virtually nobody believes something they can't see, except those that believe in a god that only looks after their "followers."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@randahl Couldn't have made it here without Social Media. Share and share alike. Algorithms tuned to maximize rift.

I tried #summarizing that #sentiment in a #format I thought most would be able to #understand a #comic

My #band would have #printed copies of it available at every #concert for attendees to take home for #FREE

Then, around 5 years in, some #anonymous #critic ripped out the last page from one to #write that we needed a #chickSinger to "make it" and left it on a table for us to find.

What's the saying? Can lead a #horse to #water ??
