Labels

I was flipping channels tonight trying to find something to watch that wouldn't make me angrier. (a losing battle) I stopped for about 3 minutes on some stupid reality game show on Fox waiting for House to come on (which it never did). They were asking the guy what he did for a living. He said he was a bartend, then he paused and then said "and I'm a musician." Just because you played s**tty emo songs about how sensitive you are in an effort to get your girlfriend back, doesn't make you a musician.



It's seems like "musician" is one of the only labels one can give themself. Just because I once removed my own tonsels, I'm not allowed to call myself a doctor. Just because my ex-wife you to sleep with anyone, I wouldn't call myself a pimp. If you want to call yourself a musician you actually have to make music that other people would want to listen to, and will actually pay you to listen to. So therefore most of "popular music" is excluded, especially every American Idol winner ever.
