"In the world of Twitter and Facebook, everyone can make every light shine on them for one second," muses Brewer. "[English street artist] Banksy said it best: the time for getting famous off your art is over. You don't go into a restaurant because you want to take a shit. When your reason for creating a song is so maybe someday you'll be on a billboard, it's just weak. If you're only fulfilled by a video team following you around to watch you take a dump every day, it sucks to be you."
