      they may be capable, but the industry is so controlled by powers that want artists to sign up and write, sing, look and perform a certain way. Those that don't sign up are just as good or better, but they don't get in

It doesn't even have to be love making music, it can be slow dancing to it with your special someone that you love, or just rolling in a Cadillac ( if you have one ), at night time, listening to this jam in your car.
