I have no reservations that Kenneth could make a CD that would make SOB
sound like it was played on a Casio. But who, besides a handful, would
APPRECIATE it?
Sad but very true…
I was just out doing errands today and I was in Hobby Lobby and walked nextdoor to Office Max and, I kid you not, they were playing the exact same crappyJohn Mayer song (obviously getting their Sat feed from the same source)…The problem is some corporate executive somewhere deciding for the generalpublic what music is popular solely based on how many dollars they can makewith zero consideration on the quality of the music. And the general public,well, they just don’t seem to care.
Are they too busy with their I want it fast I want it nowmentality to care?
Is it a lack of music appreciation in school/home growing up?
How about Disney shoving Hanna Montana and Jonas Bros merchandisingdown the throats of every teenage girl in America? The music sucks but who cares,Disney is making millions… Nick is no better…
I used to be an avid record collector, the last few years I findit harder and harder to find stuff I like here in the US. The corporatementality is killing creativity. Heck, you can’t have a hit song unlessits attached to a Movie, Video Game or TV Show…
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of European stuff likeLuca Turlli, Therion, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Tristania, Sirenia, and SymphonyX (ok, Symphony X is from the US). No real synth work but its fresh… SoKen PLEASE make a Synth CD! I desperately need fix!!!
