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.

Its somewhat entertaining along the lines of a circus perhaps, but musically MTV keeps lowering the bar every year. The early glory days of teh 80s and the music videos then seem like Beethoven in comparison. Can it go any lower?
No Mapman, it can't. At least I hope not. It's real bottom of the barrel stuff, just trash. But there's always plenty of good stuff happening "underground". For my musical taste (hard country, bluegrass, roots rock, singer-songwriter), the No Depression website and newsletters are indispensable.
Taters, I bet your parents raved about Guy Lombardo,Lawrence Welk,Eddie Fisher,Dinah Shore,etc. It was crap to us but great stuff for them. Lets face it we are Dinosaurs!
