[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] A modest proposal

 

Dear Mr. Jacobo Juarez,

I'm writing to you because you are the Red Bull contact for San Francisco. It's my understanding that the Superbowl is pretty much always held in San Francisco, so I'm contacting you.  But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I have a long and fruitful relationship with Red Bull. You may remember me from the Music Academy in Seattle in 2005 which I applied for.  Since I wasn't accepted for it, and I watched from the sidelines as my friend Lulina worked with Red Bull, maybe the fruit in the fruitful relationship was a lemon, or perhaps sour grapes, ha ha

But I'm writing now because I have a new idea. I have approached the NFL about the idea of me playing at their 2015 superbowl halftime.  I've read they want to start charging people to play, and the people they have in mind to do it (Rhianna, Katy Perry, Coldplay) aren't willing to do that, and I saw an opportunity. I've set up a kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1174250673/send-matt-to-the-superbowl

I've been thinking the NFL is kinda messed up with the wifebeating, and the head injuries, early death, etc. I think they could use a whole new image. Out with the whole thug thing, in with nice guys. Out with Bud Lite, in with Red Bull!

Maybe we, that is you and I, could partner in this, and it could end up being something bigger than both of us.  I could bring on the rock and the Red Bull from the half time stage, and you could maybe help get me there.

I hope we can put something together, and soon.

Sincerely,


Matt Love

The NFL is considering a policy of charging musicians to perform at the Superbowl half time. Help me raise money to be the chosen one!

The NFL is exploring the possibility of requesting artists they've selected to play at the Superbowl to pay a fee to perform. Since their top 3 artists (Katy Perry, Rhianna, and Coldplay) gave them a chilly reception, I am going to offer to pay them to allow me to play at the Superbowl. I think $49.95 will be enough for me to secure the position.  Since Kickstarter rounded off my amount to $49, I'll have to chip in $.95 out of my own funds, but I am willing to sacrifice for my art.

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The risks and challenges are many. After I play the superbowl, people like Paul McCartney and Barbara Streisand and John McCain will be wanting to hang around me all the time, offering me illegal drugs and talking me out of going to sleep at a reasonable hour and instead going to parties with Chris Christie and Jamie Foxx. However, I will work very hard to stay the same lovable, humble genius artist that I am now, even after I'm famous.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: [Copyright claim] Cannot monetize video: "The Mystic Knights of the Ooga Chakka Present...."

 

Dear YouTube

Thank you for getting in touch. This is just such a great idea, I'm so enthused about it. I just wanted to pay tribute to an obscure but really good English band from the early 70s,  now in the "where are they now" file.

It's such a great idea you had to make sure they get paid a little money each time people view my video - I jjust wish I had thought of it.

Those guys are beyond old. I understand that one of them has cancer.  I just want to help them in any way I can.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Please confirm

 

Please tell me that this is you, It would be so great to be insulted by a real big time creep instead of by one of the usual pissants.

Another close associate was Ron Rakow, a Hope Ranch neighbour and fellow Scientologist. FBI agents recently searched Rakow's home as part of their investigation of Slatkin - not the first time that Rakow has had a run-in with the law. A former road manager for the Grateful Dead, Rakow was imprisoned from 1987 to 1988 on federal fraud charges related to his role in an $80 million marketing scam. Slatkin began investing money for Rakow at this time - including $300,000 in proceeds from Rakow's scam. That money was funneled to Slatkin from Britain's Isle of Man, a well-known haven for shady financial dealings.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] sound alike songs II

 

You guys ought to play Robin Thicke's "Blurred LInes" and Marvin
Gaye's "Got to Give it Up."

I've never heard either song, but if Marvin Gaye's children say they
sound similar, that's good enough for me.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: Looking...

 

Hey, Ron, thanks for contacting me, I think you are just exactly the
sort of degenerate that I'm looking for. Are you are you not a woman?
It' ok if you're not, I guess, I'll make an exception for somebody as
spiteful and hostile as you.

Actually, you might be a better fit in my other project, The
Lunkheads. Let me know if you are also interested in that one, I can
send you some links. I'm sorry this band isn't going to be one of
those satanic metal bands, because that's probably where you really
belong, it's clearly where your heart dwells.
