Oscar South Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Flea is a system, EssentialTension. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you listen, what do you hear? Rock, Funk, Punk, Soul. The very genres of music we are trying to save. But until we do, these players are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
