This song was written in response to Nickelbacks song 'Rockstar' - sort of as an anti-industry anthem.

Acoustic folk rock. Outlaw Son AKA Timothy S. Epperhart writes plays sings and performs all his own songs, including covers.
Timothy S. Epperhart There are a lot of things that I'm interested in beyond being a musician, a poet or even a crazy person. Sometimes I might spout rhetoric just to see if you'll feed into it. I do that to my folks in real life too. To be honest I would like to post every song I've written with pictures and complete lyrics as I have worked on songwriting these past 10 + years. That work be a definite plus for my fans who have followed my music career. With life and music comes change. I keep an open mind to the world around me usually. I'm by no means so stuck on myself I can't or won't listen to other styles of music. My favorite format and style is probably "Acoustic Rock" - independently driven of course. Independent makes it possible to bloom into something much more than just a has-been on FM radio. I know it might seem a little overwhelming for most folks who get online to search for a song they may like to find a 29 year old man with almost 250 songs available for download. Some people may even be discouraged when they see my list of songs to even listen to one. Then again, some people have told me "Yeah you hear one you hear them all" - and I can completely understand this as I am always going to be me regardless. Anyways so yeah - I've been recording and writing songs for a long time now. That's not to say I actually draw a crowd or whatever when I play out. I really don't. In fact, I hardly ever let the public know that I play out when I do. I've always been this way. I see myself as a recording artist before a performer, performance wise I get all fucked up when I go out in public, I get to drinking. I forget the words to my own songs, because I have so many. It used to be like I could go out and feel good about playing my 5 favorite songs. Now it's like I get on stage and I'm thinking about what I'm going to play and end up just jamming some shit on drop d. There used to be places that I'd love to play who used to actually pay me 100.00 a night to get onstage for a couple hours and just go nuts. I fucking loved playing that bar because they never bullshitted me on my money at the end of the night. The regulars liked me because I used to go in every other day to get drunk, play some pool and hang out, but of course this was back when I was single. Don't get me wrong, I love my fiancee and we usually have a wonderful time, but I never get to get out and play my songs. Even if I did - I'm usually stuck on what I want to play over what I need to I guess.

Lyrics
Sick and tired of the b*** in and the whinin Wanna be a rock star blinged out see me shinin But everybodys got the own opinion You bubble gum popstars are steady grinnin Talkin about the lifestyle When you made it for yourself you little b*** And now you hate it It takes a lot to do what we do But you don't talk about that Though what you said is so true It's a kind of state of mind So sign your soul right on the dotted line But you don't need that to be real In the industry Yeah i'll tell you how I feel I was never one much for greed You sow the seed and you get what you need It's all about who you know and how you play it But it's all in how you say it Not everyobdys gonna like what you do Cuz the all the critics are coming after you And even when your not that big You might get get lucky and strike up a gig Yeah I wish my life Were better than it is But I gotta thank God for the talent that you give It don't matter who you are F*** you all I'm a wanna be rockstar. Last verse and i'm gonna put in work Hey Mr. Back can I please buy your shirt Don't you know oh your my hero I wanna be like you hell yeah don't you know I'll go to every city in Ohio Then fly my f*** in plain to Idaho I'll walk around the mall and sign for some fans That's going insane oh yeah i'm the man They'll grow up to be just like me Just another rock star on Radio - TV But i'm invisible man, you can't see me!
