So I was having a nap, when I received a call from a friend that some top class artist would ‘storm’ (I wish they could even make a breeze let alone a storm) my location and it was really going to be massive. The first question I asked was, is Asa and/or M.I going to make the list of the top artists? And his reply was a brassy no. I carelessly told him I was no longer going to be involved in the usual middle finger the organizers and artist always give to us. Of a truth, I did not go (as if my absence would even be noticed) and the Concert went on well. My pain was not that Concert recorded success and they made enormous money from the guys who paid cash to get a pass but that these guys didn’t realize or maybe they saw the middle finger but were unaware it pointed right into their faces.

Over the years we have been deceived by these corporations with their mega live concert and the stars that make the list are simply amazing but the entire process is awkward and only aimed at ripping people off their hard-earned money. I have been jerky and once I found out that these guys just earn money for no job done, I began to rethink my decision. Why should an artist pick up a mic in pretence that he is going to sing his song only for the DJ to put on a mastered CD which will overtake the voice of the star? Everyone is overwhelmed by the presence of the artist, ignoring the fact that he is making a big chunk of money from just standing in front of everyone while the DJ does the perfect job, deceives everyone that the man in front of the mic who is murmuring to himself actually cares about what is happening downstairs. Is that not an indirect way of giving people the middle finger?
