lastly: real shit if you are gonna name your book "independent as fuck" about our scene we lived the least you can do is include the group that coined and defined the phrase on the cover with the other flicks. got our peers but not co flow. like gee where did that cool title come from?

one hopefully last thought: the truth is my life and my career, though intertwined, aren't the same thing. when i imagine writing a book about my life i think of my family, my friends, my city. not so much my career. the same applies to my music. if my albums were about my albums i'd implode.

the more i think about books compiled from interviews the more questions i have. its an inception level, multi layered conundrum of questions about originality.

nope. i have an actual life with genuinely close friends and family i confide in. venting publicly is always an empty, needless mistake who's only use is to serve the ego and im ashamed i would even fall for it ever 👍

ok on second thought maybe you can complain about it. like if a dude writes that you're a pussy you could say fuck you no i'm not you're a pussy you pussy or something like that

haven't ranted like this since the halcyon days of twitter. feels terrible and silly if i'm being honest.

i would like to note though that, to be clear, i do not believe public figures should have a say over the way a person feels about them and if writing is done from that perspective. you can't really complain about or seek to control an idea of you. only an in inaccuracy is open for contest.

anyway the good news is i've had coffee and a cigarette so im back to not really giving a shit again so anyone taking my words and maybe catching feelings or whatever do you. no hard feelings, i said what i said, life moves on, carpe diem or whatever the fuck.

a nightmare for artists is working your whole life to tell your story well enough that it matters then someone effectively lays claim to it by compiling instances of you telling said story publicly / distilling your words, then being in a position to profit off of or control it somehow. it's scary.

again being approached about a book someones writing about your history is a bit of a hostage situation:

truth is if you go to amazon you can find several books about any band that had an impact. browse the RATM collection, for instance. but most are aggregations of previously available material. true insight requires something more intimate. frankly thats our (artists) whole thing to begin with.

and if i wanted to write about those years from a direct perspective myself and titled it in the most obvious way with the phrase i coined and made famous that would the guy that took that phrase i coined and beat me to the punch on a book about those years i personally experienced sue me? prolly.

that's why i don't fuck with bio pics or books. i know for a fact they are often written by people who dont even bother to involve the artists. they scour their interviews, use their ideas, print their lyrics and then sell it as a movie while the artist just sits back and watches with no recourse.

how many books are gonna drop about shit i was involved in without even talking to me. first a rtj book then "independent as fuck". cats out here just combing interviews and phrases i coined and making books out of them. can't wait to read the book about my childhood by a stranger someday👍

when i thought elon was a decent human with a product that might help the world i put 10k in to TSLA, made 180k and dipped right as his mask slipped. point being: people like me who have the dreaded woke mind virus were the 1 demographic that gave a shit about that bullshit ass car that nazi makes.

photoshop is the hardest program in the world and it has nothing to do with me not having used it in 20 years or being stupid and slightly stoned
