¿Qué es el éxito? pregunta Lorenzo

 "What makes a success? What makes the difference? What made Money For Soul happen like it did? I’ve thought about it a lot and I still don’t know. Was it the songs? The biggest hit from that album was undoubtedly Everything’s Gonna Be Alright, which wasn’t even chosen as a single in the first place and in fact was an idea I originally discarded and never finished for the first album. Was it the production? Most of it was recorded through a cheap Behringer pre-amp and we used microphones which weren’t exactly high profile either. Maybe it made a difference that we used Protools (or Amateur Tools as we pro’s call it) much more than we like to generally. It seems to me that the record buyers expect all records to sound alike these days. Was it the promotion? Bad Afro’s PR budget was ridiculous at the time, we had money for stickers and posters and that was it basically, but truth be told, the stickers DID look really great. Maybe it’s just a question of timing – or a coincidence? Maybe the powers that be (the gods, radio station executives, whatever…) just decided we’d been doing it long enough to deserve a piece of the cake?"

Lorenzo dice que no hay plagio

 "That summer, I had something like an artistic breakthrough or whatever you wanna call it. I really started to look at my own songwriting a lot differently anyway. Instead of trying to come up with words that could be hooklines or melodies that were good, I started thinking that any phrase was valid and totally relevant. If I could think of it, it was mine. I didn’t worry if it had been used before, if it was original or even brilliant. It didn’t matter – I could always discard the idea later if I didn’t like it particularly or if it sounded too much like something else, the important thing was following each little spark all the way through to see what was hiding in there. I started deliberately re-using songtitles and even phrases from my own favourite songs, I stole riffs from old records and turned them around or added something, made them my own. This is still very much the way I write. My stuff has always been quite personal really, but after that summer I stopped trying to obscure it and basically just started to say flat out what I wanted to say."

Cada vez

 Me dan mas pereza los eventos, el publico, las fechas, las contrataciones, los ensayos, las repeticiones, las estructuras, los egos, los requisitos, la falta de respeto, las expectativas, el "divierteme payaso", la preparacion, la artritis, la tendinitis...ofuu

Y de Wikipedia: 

"Con la derogación del patrón oro, el único límite para la creación de dinero "mediante la promesa de pagarlo" es el dinero preexistente. Por tanto, dado que el dinero se crea de cero con una deuda igual, el pago de todas las deudas supondría la desaparición de éste. Sin embargo, los intereses hacen que la deuda total sea mayor que el préstamo, por lo que es imposible, con el sistema monetario actual, que la totalidad de las deudas sean pagadas.⁸²​⁸³​⁸⁴​

Esta ingeniería social, nacida dentro de la era del petróleo barato,⁸³​ es parecida a la metáfora del burro y la zanahoria, en la que el burro corre indefinidamente tratando de comer la zanahoria que nunca sería alcanzada, de la misma forma que las sociedades deberían crecer indefinidamente tratando de pagar una deuda que en teoría nunca sería pagada. Así el sistema se fundamenta en el supuesto de que el crecimiento material sería perpetuo sin contar que los recursos del planeta son finitos".
