Story behind the song
I'm a musician and producer from England. What inspired me to take up this career was the power of music to bring people together fight crap like racism and war, and generally stuff along the lines of The Beatles hit "all you need is love". I'm not a natural musician, and it's actually taken me a lot longer to learn to play than most folk would- but I love a challenge and have a reasonable mind and imagination, along with a pretty rebellious attitude. In middle age, I'm still pretty young at heart. I do have talents as a composer, arranger and lyricist though. I first noted something odd happening back in 1991 when I was at college. It was quite an upmarket institution, and I was actually there to study Computer Science and Maths. I formed a band with a mate, and we spent the first year amongst a good few drinks writing and rehearsing some songs. All went very well, as did our studies, and we graduated the year. Now the songs were slightly political but nothing extreme or even radical, so not to any great extent, much more humour than anything else and we actually sounded almost identical to a couple of very well known bands popular with college students at the time. So next year, we looked around campus for some gig, as there were plenty of popular campus venues where student bands played. Could we get one? No. Not even as far as listening to our demo, and in most cases not even meeting us. We managed to on a few occasions get a DJ to spin one of our demos, and those dancing certainly didn't stop in horror, in fact most didn't even know that it was a knocked up by couple of newbies on a four-track as opposed to being a professionally made record. So whilst not great, it obviously wasn't total crap either. We found that it wasn't a case of there being some blacklist we were on but in fact a whitelist seemed to be operating. A good example was one day we saw a "battle of the bands" advertised. So we went to the organisers and asked about demos and auditions. We've already chosen the acts, was the reply. F*** ... It got worse- I went to sing in a karaoke contest on campus- wrote out my slip, and noticed that some people had been called up two or three times, and then it was over, various excuses were leveled- we don't think you look the part, you're from the (allied) self catering wing rather than in hall?? (so what, but how did they know, never told them) and so forth. I thought I'd stand for union elections and a rival candidate told the hustings that I'd been kicked off the event organising committee for taking drugs (I didn't) The whole thing, and the persistence of this soured my college experience and I ended up getting so pissed off that I lost all concentration and dropped out. Went to a more enjoyable local tech and got on better, and made a few friends. Locally I started getting on in music, and had a great time, playing some good gigs and so forth as well as success as a producer, but we seemed to find a "glass ceiling" around 1996. We got a gig on the back of a demo to a large venue, we had our names in the city's paper and a feature on us, with reviews that weren't entirely uncritical but still suggested we were well worth seeing. And then they pulled us. And the same has happened to pretty much every band I've known- get above a certain level in the game and something starts happening- this seems to included fighting musicians in those bands off against each other amongst a multitude of dirty tricks. Meanwhile, odd things were happing in the chart music scene. Bands which had big followings started suddenly dropping out of the top 40. True independent labels seemed to collapse over a couple of years- and filesharing didn't take off in the UK large scale till around 2000. On that subject, despite all the claims about piracy "killing" music and illegal downloads, it wasn't till much later that music was offered legally, even though the technology was in place. There was a few frankly disturb
