Current mood:  frustrated
Category: Music

This is the final week of "Rockstar:Supernova", and although i enjoy the show for it's entertainment value, it brings back painful memories of blowing the audition for the first season. Not only was i quickly overlooked (not even a f*cking call back) but it pisses me off that some phony talentless hollywood types were taken more seriously. What angers me the most is the fact that i'm going to have to go bust my knuckles working on stupid cars tomorrow for a pittance while those hacks are making a living with thier mediocre at best cover bands. Sounds bitter? of course.These jerks didn't even turn a head when i said," oh my god, that's Tim Farriss!". "Who?" was the only response i got. How could they be so ignorant of the very band for which they were auditioning? Of course, i had the stupid idea of playing one of my original songs, sandwiched between the most boring acoustic "Listen Like Thieves" and a karaoke version of "Need You Tonight". The only reason i auditioned for a reality show at all is that INXS is my favourite band ever. Of course i would have done it differently if i had it to do again, but OH WELL. I would have played something from 90's INXS. It broke my heart when my namesake choked on elimination night because he didn't know the words. How the hell do you not know the words?!!?? INXS' best stuff is on the last three albums( before Switch). Don't get me wrong, JD does an awesome job and i love the new album, but I am a bigger fan and wanted it more than anyone. OH WELL. Life goes on and you can't change the past, so now i am more determined than ever to make the best album ever and rock this whole world a new one. I have new angst to inspire me. Again, i must state that i love the new INXS album and JD Fortune deserves the job more than anybody on that show. I do think Marty Casey is also a great artist, but JD was the better choice for that band. How much longer do i have to suffer for art? Probably forever, because, as my good friend John said," art without suffering is called crafts."

A couple side notes : the karaoke version of Need You Tonight was actually pretty cool. This kid was so quiet and shy, but onstage he really went for it.

i probably had a fair shot and blew it, no fault to anybody but myself.

If Lucas wins this season, i have more evidence that the whole thing is fixed.

I'm trying to understand Dilana's lyric "my scars have healed"???? aren't scars permenant? like the Poison Lyric,".... the knife it cuts you, the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains.."

one more thing: feel free to comment with brutal honesty, like anyone's even going to read this.

My faith in humanity and the future of  rock 'n' roll remains in limbo.
That is all.

Surprise! Whenever a friend takes the time to blog something, I think it is worth my time to read it! What the hell are friends for and more importantly, what the hell is My Space for if not to communicate with others? So, yes, I am reading this!

I agree with you on your brutal honesty of yourself.........the only one you have to blame is yourself, but yet.........there are others opinion of what you do. That is one thing that is hard to define, so how were you supposed to know your version of something is not exactly what the judges wanted?  I wouldn't be so hard on yourself with that one. To improve is always the goal of an artist, if an artist is happy with his/her work, then they cease to create anything. That is the heart and soul of any art, whether it be music, painting, writing, any form actually. Always striving to be better than before. I hope you get another chance to audition for upcoming shows, maybe it would work for you with a different band behind you.  Keep plugging at it, never ever give up your dream.

As far as the Lukas thing, I don't think it was "fixed" per say, but they definately made up their minds way before the last show. But, that is one thing everyone needs to understand, like you said, it is entertainment. I feel it still is the best reality show out there, anything to do with music like this is great. It gave a bunch of people the opportunity to be heard by millions, plus exposed them to others that could further their career. So, in actuality, there were no losers. I will keep watching, it is fun and it is music. I just wish people would stop taking personal hits at the performers, they don't even know them and they are ripping them to shreds! But as the old saying goes, "That's Entertainment". 

Peace and blessings .....keep trying and you will make it! Have faith in yourself above all! Not being "preachy", it's just something I live by and like to pass on.

Man, i sounded angry*.....

*Rockstar is/was the best hour of music on crappy T.V., not to mention best reality *show. Kirk Pengilly and Mark Burnett came up with the ultimite idea, nicely *executed with polished production and perfect casting. This second season was *probably considered even more risky by the corporate nay-sayers, but it carried *over the original idea flawlessly, in no small way because of the return of hosts *Dave Navarro and Brook Burke. A rock music show on T.V., who would ever *think of that?                                              

 - - - - *Disclaimer - this is all my opinion. what's yours?
