Good Excuses

To date I've not authorized my work or my image to be used anywhere outside my one YouTube account or my one Google account. I have not authorized my work or image to be peddled by relatives. To date I've received no compensation for works of mine which were used commercially. I've never been arrested or incarcerated. I think all these accusations of crack smoking are silly and irrelevant. Why do I live among drug addicts? Because I'm poor. Neighbourhood addicts keep the rent low for me. I am a single man with no dependents, so I don't have to feel guilty about imposing this world on my children. But even if I were a crackhead, I wouldn't want to live in this area. Probably none of the addicts want to live here either. Smoking their crack is the most rewarding for them when they can do it somewhere clean and respectable - like the fine hotels where the Crystalids and other bands who stole my songs were accommodated while they committed fraud for big music labels. And even if I were a crackhead, don't a lot of popular musicians and artists have drug problems? Why doesn't anyone around here talk about their habits anymore? I never wanted to be so high profile because it makes life very uncomfortable. It puts you at the mercy of the business who are the only ones capable of getting you off the street and housing you somewhere private. I don't want to be at the mercy of a business which steals my work and turns it into fraud. And being poor is hard enough without being famous on top of it. Think about it. I can't apply for a normal job now. I stand out too much. I can't look for another home. Landlords will anticipate disturbances from strangers on my account - like the ones my fellow tenants experienced from strangers who passed my apartment between 2008 and 2010 and yelled insults at my window. So you see, as a high profile person with no money, I just cause problems for quiet, ordinary people. That leaves only one housing option for me: the one I am currently exercising.
