The Haunted Vocalist Checks In
So we haven't seen any snow yet this winter. At ALL. Global warming someone? Nah... It's just um... a warm year?
I am so tired of that lame excuse for the ridiculously over-consumption of the average Urban Joe Schmo, working class with delusions of upper middle class brass balls, bought and paid with the new credit card and an optimist/moron hat on - thinking "Oh I'll just spend the weekend in New York, Hawaii or London or mutherfucking Uzbekistan - Hey I'll take one of those completely idiotic weekend trips on a lowbudget airline that struggles beyond their real financial life span and dumps millions of gallons of white spirit airplane fuel into the air before landing about ten thousand gazillion times per day. And yeah I need another couple pointless drives to the convenience store just because I happen to live in the city that ain't even a city and it's only a couple of miles and by the way I reeaaaaally need that plasma TV and one thousand other extra applications put together by some 11 year old kids in Malaysia, China and the Philippines because it somehow hightens the illusion that I have a life!" Vacation in the sun anyone?
Entertaining, somehow, the notion that consuming the death of something else somehow makes us a more powerful being. One step closer to utter omnipotence and eternal life. Yes! I consume and therefore I am a GOD! Well, OK, not a god, but I'm fatter and better and obviously more worth than those dudes planting rice in the hills of the Cambodian jungle, becasue I can afford AN IPOD! I AM A FREE MAAAAAAN. Screaming an imaginary scream of defiance to the ever greyer heavens in a slo motion Braveheart meets Rocky mutation...

The Haunted's tour busses and the fans driving to their concerts burn fossil fuel as does distribution of music media on plastic discs to every corner of the globe. Light shows and walls of amps are hardly energy free. Hmmm... Until The Haunted walk from show to show, stop putting out albums, and play unplugged, nobody is going to be convinced. I agree that one shouldn't be wasteful for no reason and that man is affecting the climate but you've got 4 fingers pointed back at yourself.
