Nothing good has happened in music since 1979.
music these days....
I was flipping channels today and noticed a show where Beyonnce was being interviewed.
She stated without hesititation and with comfort and conviction something to the effect that "when I write music I feel more empowered than I could be in real life"
So, the last I checked, Beyonnce has about ZERO % influence on her music, I have no doubt that she writes the lyrics, but writing lyrics aint on the same level as writing music or creating music.
Most lyrics these days could be written by a 12 year old.
Is it just me, but does this bother you? It bothers me, because it provides too much underserved credibility to todays "artists". I think if you take the average person, especially a 15 year old, they can't make the distinction or perhaps don't care enough to investigate. I feel this opens the door to every talentless Joe or Jane (see American Idol tryouts) who thinks they can do the same which could answer why we are in this sad state of Popular Music these days.
