If anyone wants to sell their soul to the devil, and make a lot of $ this is how u do it. You revert back to an earlier, more juvenile state of mind, and put ur self in the place u were in back in junior high school or high school, and then u write music that corresponds to that state of mind. Talking about clothes and relationships that last one week is a good start. U will b very successful, as there r a lot of people who do it. U can c how a highly impressionable group of people such as teens who usually don't get exposed to a wider array of music, and will buy just about any prepackaged crap, that looks good on the outside and is empty on the inside, would make u a very rich person. So, u can c how it relates to selling ur soul to the devil. But couldn't u make the $, and then progress back to ur original state of mind? u might ask Oh, yes u could, but u would lose all the money u made in the process of doing so. Ur innermost being would know that the real u didn't earn it, so if u want to be the real u, u hav to lose the $. The point of the post is this: I've heard a lot of people say-all rich people r bad, and I've heard people say-rich people r good. Well, it's just not that simple, not everything is in black & white. But here's a little black & white, IMO people who r rich r able to stay that way, bcuz they r the same person they were when they were in the process of earning that $. If they were very shallow when they earned it, they will probably b very shallow in order to keep it. So very rare is the rich person who is a very deep person, simply bcuz our society puts so much economic value on extremely shallow things.
