I download music because I like stealing.
I bet you are thinking right now that you are in for some sarcasm. Believe me, I download music illegally because I like stealing.
However, if we all stole music then musicians would not bother making music anymore, right? Wrong.
Charles Darwin was a terrible harpsichord player and even though nobody ever stole his music using KazAa or Napster or Bearshare or KazAa Lite ++ he didn’t make a living off his harpsichord. He really sucked. He was not good. He was
bad.
I download non-Charles-Darwin-playing-harpsichord-poorly music because I like stealing. Every time I steal Natalie Imbruglia’s sensational hit “Torn,”
an angel gets his wings.
That is like a metaphor. And “like” means that is a simile. That angel can see me even if I have the lights down low when I’m in front of my Macintosh G4, 12-inch power book with Super Drive upgrade serial number J4505WS372. If he notices—his name is Geoffrey by the way—if he—he always wanted to be one,
an angel. He was one of those kids in elementary school who would draw lots of pictures of themselves wearing adult, professional, workplace-environment clothing. He drew himself as a Cherubim in God’s glorious choir until he finally was one, an angel—If the angel, Geoffrey of God’s glorious choir notices that I’m stealing Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” then he gets wings. It’s like a metaphor but he really does get a pair of wings. God knows
every time I steal Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” it gets harder for musicians to make money and if it’s hard to do, then only the inspired and talented will survive by selling other products you can’t download like T-shirts or concert tickets or locks of their brunette hair on eBay with a starting bid of $1.99 but you know it will go up to 20 dollars or even thirty dollars in the last hour of bidding, and even though it’s being sold on eBay for an increasing amount of money each time you check you can only download
a picture of the severed chunk of Norah Jones’s hair and you can print that off on your HP All-in-one Inkjet Printer/Scanner/Fax Machine and laser printing is even better but still it’s not the same as having all of those shiny strands of Norah Jones’s hair flowing across your palm, that’s something you can’t download. And since only the talented and inspired will sell their own hair on eBay then it will weed out bad musicians, right? Maybe.
I never listened when people talked about Galapagos so I don’t know,
maybe,
maybe every time I steal Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” the mating patterns of Cherubim angels becomes more like the sharp-beaked finch and less like the warbler finch’s mating rituals.
And as a matter of either strange coincidence or foreshadowing fact, Natalie Imbruglia looks more like a land iguana than Patti Smith. And Charlie Darwin would have written Nelly Fertado’s name in a different phylum, probably one of the amphibious ones though Natalie Imbruglia would still maintain her status as a upright mammal. Evolution is one of those things that you either believe in,
or
you don’t and if you don’t then
you’re wrong.
I still download music because like stealing even if I have to believe in evolution or I’m wrong, and the consequence of survival of the fittest is turning musicians into reptiles.
I like stealing.
When I steal then that means I got it for free, right?
Right.
