Just when you thought bone-head Bono was the biggest douchebag on the planet...
Here's clueless selfless, shit-for-brains Thom Yorke.
For reasons unknown, Mr. Radiohead has a following. He or Radiohead wants to give away shit, it's given away. For years now, Thom with or without his fellow old farts have let cretins know that stealing music is ok with them. They let the maggott bloggers upload and download faster than you can say Zinfart. That's because they make so much money they don't care. Which gives the impression that ALL rock stars make so much money it's ok to steal the music.
This latest insanity? Ingrate scumbag Thom Yorke is helping to promote thieves and pirates. That's what BIT-TORRENT is all about, isn't it? It's about free downloads. It's about putting a thingy on your computer so you can go to Kickass and the other places, and steal, steal, steal.
Somehow, rather than work with the dreaded iTunes (who only spent millions and millions to create an mp3 download system that worked and that made a profit), shit-for-brains Thom Yorke is sucking cock with BIT-TORRENT, and drooling about how his $6 download gives him "control," and he's not going to deal with those evil "music business" parasites. Nah, go with the maggots, instead. Right, maggot mind?
What a hypocrite. What nerve. How DARE this bearded scrotum tell the world he's fighting against the "gatekeepers," and using Bit-Torrent is SO much better than if he offered his shit on iTunes for six bucks.
Drug-addled sap-faced "rock stars" really should just stick to the music, because without it, they are about as intelligible as homeless crackheads. And about as interesting. When it comes to anything but singing and playing, these idiot savants are just about brain dead.
What a fucking ingrate this Yorke patty is. His lousy group was nurtured along by a MAJOR LABEL! He had support every step of the way. How does he think Radiohead became popular? Now he's smirking and kicking the "gatekeepers" to the curb? That's just an ingrate for you, a gutless creep.
When you buy at McDonalds or Tesco or wherever...you are saying, "You corporate weasels managed to put out a good product that I want. You had the muscle to BUILD A FUCKING BUILDING near me, you had the smarts to create a staff, get distribution in place, and bring me what I need at a fairly decent price."
You don't think BONO or THOM YORKE ever shop at Tesco? That they boycott every fast-food joint? Whatever places they go to...these are mostly places that exist because they work within the system, for better or worse. They are gatekeepers. Whether it's the pub, the fancy-ass restaurant, the theater, the get-away resort, the beach cottage, the airline they fly on...it's almost ALL the work of gatekeepers. It's almost ALL the work of people who built it up by using Capitalism's tools.
Demonizing record labels, book companies, TV networks...why? To rationalize stealing? They are corporations, that's all. They are part of the system, and they do a job, and guess what...yeah, they take a GOOD percentage. Just as the government takes taxes. Just as the doctor and the lawyer and the plumber take their fee based NOT on just the time it takes to fix what was broken, but based on their fucking rent, their fucking insurance, and the fucking time it took for them to get the diploma.
As the late Joan Rivers used to say...GROW UP!
GROW UP Thom fucking Yorke, you pygmy-minded selfish sod. What's so radical, impressive or even useful about throwing your lot in with Bit-Torrent?
What are you doing that helps indie rock acts? They're all supposed to be like YOU? You are so fucking famous people instantly know you have new music to sell. Indie rockers don't.
You think $6 and Bit-Torrent is the answer? Giving money to a different monster is all I see. Bit-Torrent did what, exactly, different from iTunes or Amazon? They built up a business, in this case probably on drug money, piracy and prostitution, and they answer to NOBODY.
Apple...Steve Jobs...iTunes...that's a corporation that tried to be as ethical as possible...and for all their faults, they are damn better than fucking Bit-Torrent.
BIT-TORRENT doesn't seem to care who uses their service or for what. THAT is your morality, Thom?
While iTunes promotes all kinds of acts, and even gives away free samples...YOU, in your infinite wisdom, spit on them. As imperfect as those bastards are, they are within the system and have some integrity.
We're all supposed to embrace Mr. Radical here, the guy with the "new paradigm?" I don't think so. What works for bigshot Thom Yorke isn't going to work for the singer/songwriter who has to pay to play. It isn't going to work for the rock group that must invest a fortune because picky stinking fans complain about artificial drums, or ProTools, or computer sound that isn't rich and full like they're used to getting from major rock bands who pay for big studio time and production.
Christ, it is beyond disgusting when a role model is as warped and repulsive Thom Yorke is...so thoughtless, so immature, so egocentric and so fucking WRONG.
OK, Thom...now that everyone knows there's a new item from you...they are NOT going to pay SIX dollars for SIX songs, pal. They are going to share it on KICKASS and every pirate home that uses Bit-Torrent.
THOM YORKE your head is so far up his ass, you don't look at accountant figures, or study and weigh the best business plan. ALL YOU KNOW is you have money in the bank to shove drugs up your nose. And you "think" you're so smart and radical by giving the finger to "the establishment."
THOM, I hope you go bankrupt. I hope you don't have a pot to piss in. I hope you are royally, completely, utterly screwed by all the fat-cat business managers, accountants and whoever else you have, who you think are worth THEIR fees. YOU use the establishment constantly, but you dare to be hypocrite enough to screw iTunes and think you've done something fantastic.
I hope that you suddenly have your world come crashing down, and you discover how difficult it is for 99.999% of the musicians to get their stuff recorded and heard and SOLD.
I wish you hell on Earth you dumb stupid ungrateful piece of shit.
