Seriously guys and gals, while rock is taking its dying breath, and hip-hop, new age metal, and meaningless blabbing floods the radio and television waves, it's hard not to notice what I'm talking about. I really hate an abundance of this new music and it is an outrage that music is now based on image and sex appeal. Where's the talent? Songwriters such as Waters, McCaurtney, Lennon, Garcia, and Bob Marley have written some of the world's most fantastic pieces of music because it touched on aspects of human life, and the time period. That and some of it was for political reasons as well (Marley's music specifically as well as Dylan's "Hurricane"). And what is this new music about? It's about absolutely nothing. While some bands remain out there writing meaningful lyrics (Mayer, Radiohead, Yorn, etc.), other bands are just putting forth minimal effort to mass-produce literal lyrics without depth or meaning for any sort of improved existence. I suppose this could be an online petition for the masses that maybe the underground poets, the writers, the Dylan's, the Morrison's will rise up and bring forth a movement to bring real music back to the masses.
I demand an end to Britney Spears and bubblegum pop, I demand an end to StainD's whining, and every other band who doesn't know what the f*ck a guitar, drum, or even piano solo is.
In hopes of a better, metaphorical world,

Dammit, I just spent twenty minutes wqriting out a well thought out response to this moronic post, and after I hit the submit button I got the ol' CANNOT FIND SERVER page, thus erasing everything I said. Oh well, another time maybe.
