Be A Pop Star With Only 4 Chords!

Filed in:

The video below is a little long (5:12), but it's a perfect example of "inspiration" versus "plagiarism"...and it’s pretty damn funny too.

It reminds me of a great quote I saw recently:

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows.

Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember..."It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to." - Jim Jarmusch
