>>103617890I completely agree. the internet really has allowed many different artists to get out there, bad and great. Doesn't feel as much like you'd have to move down to cali just to have a career (even though that is still a huge help). Again, she was found through myspace, not livejournal or tumblr. He really doesn't know what he's talking about. This isn't the only thing he got completely wrong, too. He also claims Pen was the first dude to hire friends and let them fuck around and do whatever they want as boarders, but Thurop Van Orman, the guy who made flapjack, also did this. Hiring friends is not a new practice by any means, sometimes "having connections" means "having the right friends". It sucks, sure, but having connections is a huge part of making it in any industry. That's not really news. There's a lot more I'd go on about, but those are the things that bothered me.
I feel like he's going to be like "haha it was all a joke!" but I think he's ignorant enough to believe all of this.
