      As an aside; when most of us make the "devil horns" sign with our hands we usually just mean "Rock On" which can/typically mean "Amen" which translates to "I believe".

      @andrew bishop Yeah, they should just become youtubers. Hollywood is dying and LA is a third world country now with all the homeless camps, crime, and a communist government to boot. Within the next few years Hollywood will be dead, and youtube will have replaced it.
      Not that youtube is any better, as its run by Gulagle and they're cultural marxists just like the Hollywood creeps are. Now that youtube censors everything and is trying to replace TV by bringing worthless Hollywood celebrities in, hopefully alt tech competitors like Odysee and Bitchute will kill off youtube and maybe the internet could be a freer place like it used to be in the nineties and 2000s.

    Tom Petty once told a young musician that you don't come to LA to be successful. If you want to make it, you come there, already being successful. He told him to go back home, work on his stuff and then return when he's ready.
    The young musician was Warren Zanes who was a member of the band the Del Fuegos who had a nice buzz in the 80s. He ended up leaving the band and obtained a PhD and became a professor. Later in life, he met Tom Petty again and helped him to write his autobiography. He was also became the vice president of education at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
    It's an interesting turn of events and I guess the point is, being a rock star may not be for everyone but you can still find a light in this world.

    I dont think many people understand the genius of this video.
    Multiple reshoots. Different wannabe stars at different points in the song. Multiple playthroughs to choreograph each person at the right point in the song.
    This was RHCP giving back and giving hope to all the folks who wanted to "make it" in the music industry.
    Thing about the patience of a human being then go through the same song 12,000 times with the same hype and motivation each time to make it special for each "wannabe" in their music video.
    That takes love, admiration and respect.

    This song so encapsulated my youngest brother. He tried so hard to make it as a guitar player in a rock and roll outfit. I remember this song coming out my senior year of high school, and how I knew what the words "really meant" but he would not hear me , he moved to Nashville and then L.A., and he never found a bite. In 2013 we get a call asking to identify his body, he had shot himself. I want to say that I love the peppers for all the encouragement they inspired in my brother, and wished that they were not so clairvoyant as to how it goes for those that just can't make it. I thank you guys for trying as you can to hold the entertainment industry's feet to the fire for those that fall prey to it's allure and macinations.

    To sum it up: don’t try to be famous, “the thing we need is never all that hard to find” ...find yourself
    Play music for yourself first
    Its all that matters
    If you play music you are already doing it.

    People listening to great songs deserve their lyrics
    They come from every state to find
    Some dreams were meant to be declined
    Tell the man what did you have in mind
    What have you come to do?
    No turning water into wine
    No learning while you're in the line
    I'll take you to the broken sign
    You see these lights are blue
    Come and get it
    Lost it at the city limit
    Say goodbye
    'Cause they will find a way to trim it
    Everybody
    Lookin' for a silly gimmick
    Gotta get away
    Can't take it for another minute
    This town is made of many things
    Just look at what the current brings
    So high, it's only promising
    This place was made on you
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
    The thing we need is
    Never all that hard to find
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where do you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    You're so lovely, are you lonely?
    Giving up on the innocence you left behind
    Some claim to have the fortitude
    Too shrewd to blow the interlude
    Sustaining pain to set a mood
    Step out to be renewed
    I'll move you like a baritone
    Jungle brothers on the microphone
    Getting over with an undertone
    It's time to turn to stone
    Chitty chitty, baby
    When your nose is in the nitty gritty
    Life could be a little sweet
    But life could be a little shitty
    What a pity
    Boston and a Kansas city
    Looking for a hundred
    But you only ever found a fitty
    Three fingers in the honeycomb
    You ring just like a xylophone
    Devoted to the chromosome
    The day that you left home
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
    The thing we need is
    Never all that hard to find
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    You're so lovely, are you lonely?
    Giving up on the innocence you left behind
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
    The thing we need is
    Never all that hard to find
    Tell me, baby, what's your story
    Where you come from
    And where you wanna go this time?
    You're so lovely, are you lonely?
