As you progress in your music career you will find yourself becoming Kelloggs. You might keep coming up with new breakfast ideas, but all they want is corn flakes. (File under why I don’t make albums or tour any more). #music #cereal
@lardmotel my “career” ended in the 90s. I keep making music though.
@fistfulofdave
At a time where people want vinyl I’d rather make first person walking simulators. That’s music.
@lardmotel not overly concerned with what anyone else “wants”. I just like creating music.
@fistfulofdave
That's a good attitude. I am trying to keep up with the 'recent things' just as a brain exercise. Selling vinyl is very lucrative but you do feel like Grandad Moses.
@lardmotel You know why Kellogg started the cereal business? To produce food to dampen the sex drives of kids and thus stop them from masturbating. He had a clinic in Michigan to treat wayward wankers. Graham crackers were another self-abuse prevention product.
@dadakopf @lardmotel This reminds me once again that I need to get the movie based on that tale through interlibrary loan.
"Starring Anthony Hopkins, Matthew Broderick, Bridget Fonda, John Cusack, Dana Carvey and Colm Meaney, ..."

@bobcromwell @lardmotel In college, I loved to wander the library to find treasures…. One day, I saw this old book authored by a Kellogg. Breakfast cereal? I picked it up and opened it, to find a hilarious, sadistic, screed about the horrors of masturbation. And yes, breakfast cereal! A truly sick man… But reading here and there in Plain Facts for Old and Young, was also an interesting trip through old ideas about goodness and badness. Here’s a link if you’re curious.

@dadakopf
I did know that, but it just adds to the pathos of people only wanting the taste of the oldest thing they can imagine.
@dadakopf @lardmotel So the cock shown on the box is blatant mis-selling.
@lardmotel I can understand if you feel burned out! Thank you for the music (the songs you’re singing). I’m sure you’ll be back into music releases when the stars are right. Touring though... nah.
