I love Dave Draiman of Disturbed. In my opinion, he and Corey Taylor of Slipknot are two of the most articulate, intelligent musicians around. Here's Dave's take on social media whores.
DISTURBED frontman David Draiman has posted the following message on Twitlonger.com, a related Twitter site that allows one to send tweets that require more than 140 characters:
"It
never ceases to amaze me the lengths that people will go to just to try
and get you attention for a brief moment. The computer has become a
wonderful and terrible instrument all at once. Within the Internet
world, you can be anyone you want to be; the only problem is people
often lose touch with themselves and who they really are, and become
obsessed with these fantastic personas they try to create online. It's
escapist; and while getting away from reality every once in a while can
do a person some good, never grounding yourself in reality [isn't] good
either. The even more comical ones are the grown adults who become like
children; poking at a beehive with a stick, hoping and praying that they
will elicit a reaction, and wearing it like a badge of courage that
they eagerly foward to their little groups of common Internet junkies,
so impressed with themselves that they think they broke through some
ficticious wall or actually got someone's attention.
"To all of
you pathetic, I-cannot-communicate-with-real-people,
still-living-at-home-with-your-parents,
can't-get-a-rise-unless-you-get-a-rise, pathetic, troll-like excuses for
normal human beings out there; honestly, step away from the keyboard,
go outside, get a real job, find someone to love you (if you can), and
wake the fuck up. You are worth nothing more than a momentary chuckle,
and then your stupidity is simply erased, stands for nothing, and
accomplishes... nothing. You're a momentary distraction, if anything.
Like a fart that is blown away by the breeze."
