Watched the MTV awards that night


i never realized the music business was in such a big place. All the performers sound alike. It sounds like they all have the same recording engineer. There is no individuality to any of acts. It's all just a formulated mess.

I am so thankful I grew up a time when there were great musicians and singers and songwriters. They say progress is good but it didn't work out that way in the music business.

Ghosthouse, thanks for "A Closer Listen" I looked it up and thought it looked familiar. Looked in my favorites and there it was, 21 from the top, and I forgot it was there. It's good to refresh the brain every now and again...
Everyone should do themselves a favor and listen to non english lyric based music for awhile. Even music with no lyrics from a different culture. It's not asking for much of a sacrifice but to immerse yourself in it could prove revelatory.

Since my ears have been opened there's no going back to the same gruel.

All the best,

Since it was a long time ago, it's easy to forget that a viewing of the Grammy's from the mid-to-late 60's and into the 70's, when Rock & Roll was firing on all 8 cylinders, will show that the awards often went to the middle-of-the-road Pop "entertainers" (The 5th Dimension, Kenny Rogers & The 1st Edition, Bobby Goldsboro, Neil Diamond, etc.), not the groundbreaking artists of the day (Hendrix, Zappa, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, etc.). Thus it has always been, and shall be forever more!
