5 facebook messages literally threatening my life. (You dont know me and wont see me coming) Nice to wake up to. Listen. I just woke up to a text from a former friend stating that I am a copy cat and ripping his ideas off. First off, the bands I have on my label I have A, either known and worked with longer than I have said person, B, or I have just met, and they do not know said person. I have gone out of my way to make sure that my labels image does not resemble anything of my past. I have and have had my own contacts and ideas for years before I met said person. I have supported and continue to support the bands on his label. I learned how to screen print in 1996. I started Johny Wrong Presents in 2007. I have, for years hired visual artists nation wide and consistently used their style for marketing my image for Johny Wrong Presents. And now the same is true with Good Ol Boy Records. My friend and web designer I introduced to said label. I have been doing what Ive done since 2007 and will continue to chase my dreams no matter what road and detours I run in to. I AM NOT GOING TO FALL INTO THIS TRAP. I AM NOT GOING TO TALK NEGATIVE SHIT. I LOVE YOU MAN. THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES. I DO AND WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THEM. SIDE NOTE: THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ON A BANDWAGON, THREATENING MY LIFE OVER OF MUSIC, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT KNOW ME, YOURE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT OF MUSIC AND COMMUNITY. I WOULD HOPE THAT WE COULD WORK TOGETHER AND GROW THE ART FORM THAT WE ALL LOVE. If you want to respond to this post with negativity about the other party, I will delete you comment. I am not going there. Done. I have the flu and a 10 hour work day, school, shirts to print, and a label and label mates to promote and market.
