Oscar South Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Flea is a system, EssentialTension. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you listen, what do you hear? Rock, Funk, Punk, Soul. The very genres of music we are trying to save. But until we do, these players are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Quote
Doddy Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 What???? What's this system,and why does that make them our enemy? Quote

Oscar South Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 That's a pretty powerful accusation Quote

Doddy Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 So.......... ......I still don't know what this system is,and why I'm not supposed to like it? Quote
