I heard someone say to me today, 'you have all the views'. Would you folks outside my region like to know how many views my videos are showing here? Let me just have a look. My live Magic video shows four views. My live Spoils video shows ten views. My live Assault video shows nine views. My video for Size that I posted June 14, 2010, shows ten views. None of my videos have made it into the triple digits in the views they show after four straight years of sharing. This rather sad display has been a chief cause for my suffering in the last seven years. Did you think I didn't want to be a rock star? No, I didn't know I was a rock star because I couldn't see my views and neither could anyone else in my region. This was also why I thought I was crazy when I saw the TV stealing my dialogues. There wasn't any evidence that they had even read them. Not seeing my views has been most discouraging for me. And after all the horror I've gone through, I think it's sadistic to continue to hide them from me. It encourages fraud when a person finds a good song on the internet and thinks that no one knows about it. Maybe that's why I am the constant target of this kind of crime. What kind of views are those commercials getting? If the dollars I receive for them are the same as the numbers on my web page, I won't expect my life to improve. Oh well. I'll just save up my welfare checks and maybe in ten years, when I'm fifty-eight, I can afford to travel far enough outside my region to see how many views I really have and to be with a crowd that might not feel foolish if they support my music. As for the last ten years, I wonder if I'd be in a steady job and married with a nice little family of my own by now if I had never shared my music on YouTube. And I had two whole sandwiches to eat this morning. That should last me until tomorrow. Good thing Mother Theresa died before she could steal my internet posts. At least I still have Catholic charity on my side. Time to go back and lie down on my plywood bed now. That pinched nerve in my back will eventually go away. I'm sure I'll only have to limp for the rest of the summer. [Feb 2017: the pain turned out to be kidney based.] |
