Sad but very true.

I was just out doing errands today and I was in Hobby Lobby and walked next
door to Office Max and, I kid you not, they were playing the exact same
crappy John Mayer song (obviously getting their Sat feed from the same
source). The problem is some corporate executive somewhere deciding for the
general public what music is popular solely based on how many dollars they
can make with 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 now mentality to
care? 

Is it a lack of music appreciation in school/home growing up? 

How about Disney shoving Hanna Montana and Jonas Bros merchandising down 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 find it harder
and harder to find stuff I like here in the US. The corporate mentality is
killing creativity. Heck, you can't have a hit song unless its attached to a
Movie, Video Game or TV Show.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of European stuff like Luca Turlli,
Therion, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Tristania, Sirenia, and Symphony X (ok,
Symphony X is from the US). No real synth work but its fresh. So Ken PLEASE
make a Synth CD! I desperately need fix!!!
