i'm not there "inspired" origonal song

free music download http://www.jamyoung.net
I watched the Bob Dylan film last night im not there and decided that folk music is not so dead. Its just maybe defined to much by publishing organizations. If things decentralize more and more then folk can/might re-invent itself or be what it was. Although for folk to be what it was would be a contradiction to folk. Folk is like a dirty word it seems; if you tell people you sing folk music; some might think you work in a museum. Folk seems to be you your means and the world around you. Maybe everything is folk and folk has got a bad name cause rock stars ate all the space that was folk. In the film Bob Dylan talks to Brian Jones and "says, oh your the guy from that covers band". The rolling stones took folk to rock and rocked. Good covers band. The sad thing for now is that when people pass songs back and forth you can be sure a publisher is getting something. Is a centralized pop based system responsible for giving folk music a bad name. Punk is folk as folk is punk.

The film inspired me to put this together.

Decentralize folk so it can reinvent itself.. hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What a crock

[jamisony]

what do you suggest- centralize the tunes- put 'em on a shelf /i-tunes? pay to put your music on i-tunes and get people to pay for it- when 99 percent of what is consumed is owned by labels and the only people that pay for your music are your own fans that you develop at live gigs anyway?

[dustin11]

Musician's have to eat too..

None of us would even know who Bob Dylan is, of countless other performer's for that matter, if it weren't for the fact that he was picked up by a label and mass marketed. Personally, I think a few white haired suits getting rich is a fair trade off.

I just thought it was funny that you're so passionate about "decentralizing" a genre of music that is just about all together dead. Folk is the music of the people, it doesn't need to reinvent itself,

Hey Dustin,

Its less now about the art and more about the production. Part of the problem might be that these centralized systems control the flow of art. So if things are less centralized then it makes sense that the peoples music would "be". Yes music of the people would re-invent itself if it could heard by the people through decentralized publishing streams. Youtube is a good example.

it isn't the music that is dead, nothing is but its what people that think the music is dead is just ridiculous. just because Dylan went electric doesn't mean that he killed folk music he went through alot of a hard times so he thought tht going electric was smart. I was just trying 2 say somthing but i forgot what 2 say...it was from I'm Not There
