Besides It's Safer

      Damian DeadLove, here again on a Sunday night. If I had a YouTube channel how long you reckon I’d last? I’ve thought about it on several occasions it just never really gets past the cutting room floor stage. I don’t know if I’d be any good at it although I love to talk. But here are the problems with the whole idea.

      First off I’m not crazy about the idea of showing my mug on the internet. I’m not the most photogenic person, you know? I’d want it to be more like an old time radio show just do the audio thing. But with nothing to visually stimulate an audience I think it would fall flat on it’s face.

      Now a days though there is AI. How much money is it going to cost me to get the right software with all the bells and whistles? Do I need all the accessories or will I be funneling money into a never ending bottomless pit? Probably the latter would be my guess.

      What am I qualified to talk about? What is the premise of the show? Only thing I know how to do is talk music. But I have no desire to do the reacting gimmick there are so many people doing that. Like most things on earth every idea has been done to death.

      Politics and social commentary could get you killed these days. Plus I’d just be labeled as a nut-job conspiracy theorist most likely. Nobody wants to hear the truth unless they can manipulate or profit off of it.

      What if the show is a huge success? I surmise at some point the powers that be would want me to play ball. Sell my soul to their corporate agenda while prostituting me to the highest bidder. Snare me into some trap of drugs, lies, and porn videos. Well that’s how they control an artist that they did not create themselves. So I’ve heard. You know allegedly and figuratively speaking of course.

      I mean it’s not like I’m looking for fame anyhow. At my age that train left the station a long time ago. It would have to fall in my fucking lap at this point in time. I mean stars aligning and other strange phenomenon. It’s in league with me winning the lottery or performing a miracle. It’s not remotely feasible this would occur.

      Maybe I should just keep writing lyrics and bad poetry. I’m not going to be famous at it either but at least I enjoy doing it. Besides it’s safer!
