  1. always consider the source

    This does sounds like a very Henry Rollins comment
    he is pretty intense and certainly a no bull kind of guy
    not to mention big enough to say it

    • And the performers should remember that without the stage crew they wouldn’t be able to have their shows. Works both ways, which I think this gets across nicely.

    • for every successful performer there are about 100 unsuccessful ones equally talented. Oddly, enough the egos are the same.

      • I’d have to add, 1000’s more talented, with no egos. Go to a local club and the talent there far exceeds the BS that MTV plays.

        Video Killed the Radio Stars

        I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
        Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
        If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through.

        Oh-a oh

        They took the credit for your second symphony.
        Rewritten by machine and new technology,
        and now I understand the problems you can see.

        Oh-a oh

        I met your children
        Oh-a oh

        What did you tell them?
        Video killed the radio star.
        Video killed the radio star.

        Pictures came and broke your heart.
        Oh-a-a-a oh

        And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
        We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
        And you remember the jingles used to go.

        Oh-a oh

        You were the first one.
        Oh-a oh

        You were the last one.

        In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone to far
        Oh-a-aho oh,
        Oh-a-aho oh

        Video killed the radio star.

        In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone to far.
        Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

        You are a radio star.
        You are a radio star.

        • How did you get such a long answer to post? Every time I wax prolix, I get a message telling me that I seem to be spammy. I’m beginning to think that really is a comment about my physique!

  2. I agreed up until the last statement. Just like in any corporation, there are lots of little people that make things work, but to then say that they deserve the pay of the CEO and vice versa? Wrong.
