“I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.” PeopleWantFirstsRealShowsSongExistenceAtheismMediaTvsEternalDressesBlameEntertainmentPositive AtheismTv ShowsCostumesFrenzyFandoms Author:Marilyn Manson
“I have always considered myself a fast learner. I try to retain and absorb as much information and knowledge about the [music] business as I can. I don't want to just sit back and have other people do the hard work for me. I try to be involved in every process of my career as possible. I run my own social media, record, and try to vocal produce myself as much as possible, write my own songs, style myself, and learn the business side. If I didn't do acting or music, I was going to school for business. God has put me on this path and I can honestly say I wake up every day doing what I love.” PeopleIfsWantWritingTryingI CanHardRunningSchoolSongSocialProcessSidesMy OwnActingCareersPathRecordsMediaStyleInformationProduceHard WorkInvolvedWake UpSocial MediaHonestlyVocalMusic BusinessLearners Author:Asher Monroe
“There needs to be structures in place to do something about misrepresentation about hip hop. When awards are given out and the media talk about hip hop, they're confused because they haven't done their homework on it so you have a case where there's an award for the most pop song in the world and it's called 'hip hop'.” WorldNeedsDoneSongGivenCasesMediaHavensStructureHip HopPopsHipsConfusedHopsAwardsHomeworkPop SongMisrepresentation Author:Nas

“I think that music has always been restricted to media. The LP is an antiquated form, and the CD is now an antiquated form, and there's no sense grieving. Music is forever, there will always be songs. It's exciting that we're not limited to the media any more.

“In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow. Or like a Bo Diddley record that he heard six years ago. But the artist who made the record may never have even heard the Bo Diddley song.

“On social media and [in person] I hear stories of how a song like "Home" helps. Whether it's a guy overseas coping with missing his family or something deeper and terribly dramatic.
