    My favorite people are the ones who kick down other people’s accomplishments while simultaneously being too cool to do it themselves. Real pillars of the community, yknow? :^)

      I am pointing out that there are ways to be productive, and that some things are easier to make lots of than others. You should not be surprised that a folk musician can make lots of albums in a year, because the process is fairly streamlined compared to other forms of music.

      Most of the times, when musicians challenge themselves to be very productive, they generally tend to aim for music like pop or folk music, because it requires less complexity.

      Would you like to claim that “it’s easier to wrote a 2 hour long symphony than a 2 minute folk song” is true?

        The point
        You

        It’s not about what’s more “”“productive”“”" you effing shareholder. It’s not about which is more difficult. It’s about the fact this person was not only brave enough to produce music actively critical of the regime, but has done so with enough talent to gain meaningful recognition. It’s the same respect for Rage Against the Machine; the music is great, but the focus is the proliferation of the message. Any jackass can get on the internet and say whatever they want, but being able to convert those sentiments into music, publish that music, and get the level of attention Jesse has for it is the accomplishment.

        So it’s not a concerto in E minor, sure. But it pulls attention to the issues we’re facing. Listen to The Poor and tell me that message isn’t worth making cuz it’s easy. Listen to Join ICE and tell me it doesn’t matter because it’s too streamlined.
