DEAR MYSPACE

…..We miss you….it was such a great place to meet new musicians……and I met many on your page…..I actually went on tour with a few of them…..your page was a place where people could uploaded music not worth listening to…..and hear people who wanna be the next Brittney of Justin…..or you could choose to click on a photo of…..skimpy clad bikini women…..and tell them…..hey, let’s be friends……and sometimes they would say… “Oh, fur sure”…..and for all we know…..that photo could’ve been posted by a 16-year-old….chocolate eating zit-faced dropped out of high school computer-hacking kid…..living at home in their parents basement…,.but there was a positive side for me…..because I met my future wife on your page…..and then you left us….no word, no explanation….just gone….and while we were dealing with this……void……the world was forced to join a new platform called….

FARCEBOOK….sorry, I mean Facebook…..a place where…..in the beginning….you were free to say whatever you wanted to…..you could post cute pictures of your dog….the kind some people would love to kick across the street…..you could post pictures of the last unidentifiable meal you burnt in the oven last night.….you can even share pictures of your new grandchild…..and people can write comments like;…. “Awww, what a cute big head ugly baby”…..while they sit patiently at their computer or their phone….and hope someone will press the blue thumb…. “LIKE”…..button,….a button that will make them smile…..make their day.….and make them post other photos…..photos people really don’t…. “LIKE”…..but it’s done anyway…..and just to be nice and kind….people with click on the blue thumb “LIKE” button again….because no one wants to hurt anyone’s feelings…..but sometimes they do….and that’s when a person can use their “GOD GIVEN RIGHT”…..to “UN-FRIEND” them…..yes, on Farcebook…..damnit, sorry…..Facebook.….you can un-friend a person….you’re connected to…..a person who is a friend, of a friend, from an old high school friend you haven’t seen since 1845…..a person you’ve never met…..just because they didn’t like something you shared in cyberspace…..just float them into oblivion…..and Myspace…..Farce…..shit, Facebook started out great….but then it changed….it became political, judgmental and opinionatedly in-correct….you see, if you now post or say something….the Artificial Intellectual police disagree with….they will banish you to something people call….Farce…..Facebook jail…..and they will deny you your right to free speech for a period of time….and you will have to wait out your prison term…..before you are allowed to voice your opinion once more….just shut you down and lock you out….once your cell door  is open and you are allowed again to speak or type……they will watch you….and block access to those they deem unfit for you to communicate with….…it’s like their own….selective process…..this person you can talk to….but that one….NO”!….and you have to make sure your words…..once you’re free….are politically correct…..for whom I have no idea…..but don’t worry Myspace…..there are rebels out there….who are willing to go to jail over and over again….to fight for our right to express ourselves….so….

MYSPACE…..I only wanted you to know….that there are many of us who miss you….because you gave us the freedom to be ourselves….and those of us on Farcebook….oh fuck!…..Facebook, only want you to know that we really miss you…..and before we leave for work, back to bed or smoke a joint…..can you please do us a favor…..and tell Tom we said hello?
