Remember the Group R.E.M ? Of course you do! It's an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980 by Bill Berry (drums), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Michael Stipe (vocals). R.E.M. was one of the first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to a "jangly" guitar style and cryptic vocals. They had a song called". It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" Man ,what a great song! The lyrics are so awesome! When you have time, take a listen, it's so true today! Which brings me to the music industry. It is at its very end! Contrary to Justin Timberlake's warped view, the music industry totally sucks today!!! Brittney Spears is the proof! It's a circus now with Brittney ,50 cents, P-Diddy and crew, leading the way. Neither who play instruments! Gone are the days of great talent from Pinkfloyd , the Remones, Sex Pistols ,Van Halen ,Joan Jett, Pixies, The Clash ,Nirvana, Quiet Riot. And there are only a few out there today like "the redhot chilie peppers , Tool, Fallout boys, Bush, Greenday, Pearljam. Weezer and system of a down ,to name a few. I know ,there are plenty more! However, there has been a systematically driven process in the music industry to destroy rock bands. It all began around 1997/98 with pop situations like Brittney Spears and boy bands led by Justin Timber lake. After grunge died with Nirvana , the music world finally gave in to Rap music out of social pressure , greed and it was just no where to turn. Many Rap artists used their art as a "social badge" that demands the music industry to accept buffoonish and mediocre while shielding them from deserved criticism. These key factors alone has nearly destroyed the music industry. Today, many kids under the age of 25 listen to 90 % rap. A lot of these kids really don't know what true music is anymore. MTV deprived them of the that right when they removed music videos and gave them rap and reality T.V. shows instead. Oh sure, they may wear a Remone t-shirt to be cool because an older brother or uncle told them about a once great rock band, but that's all it is. Most don't understand.Their idea of music is listening to a guy on a microphone and a turn tables that plays loops of other people's music , yelling incoherent grammar about B'S and whores. This is the new concept of music. If these rap artists did not have this access, most of them would be in a psychiatrist's office. The lyrics in Rap today are mostly infantile and does not leave any everlasting effect like a U2 song or The Offspring song(come out and play) Dam that song still rocks!!! Also, 99% of rappers don't play instruments and try fooling the public by leasing out people who do play instruments. How phony is that? 10 years from now we will laugh at all of those 50cents songs .Moving on, Brittney Spears is another example of of what's wrong with music. She can longer keep the facade going . She knows she was a created fake by the doings of the current music industry. I don't feel any pity for her . The American Idol folks now are trying to bail her out. They are the big pushers of mediocrity in music. Their plan is to prove to us they can make a board a superstar! American Idol does not like true rock bands because these guys play (most of them ) for the love of the music and not for some phony facade! Not once have American Idol pushed any real rock bands! Rock bands are hard to control! Thank God! Keep on Rocking in the free world guys!!! So all they(Americna Idol) have is pool full of Meritocracy to pick from. There must be a Resurrection from some where or some one. Who will pick up the mantel before the people and outlets I have mentioned ruining music forever!! It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I don't Feel Fine!!!!!!!)"
