Music Massacre

I was at the Gym today and subjected to Channel V. In one of their countdowns, they played a song that ripped off the Phil Collin's "Another Day in Paradise" melody - I think it was called "too fast" or something like that. Now, this sort of thing really makes me mad. They managed to take a meaningful song with social commentary and reduce it to yet another carbon-copy black dude blathering on whilst surrounded by wailing ho's. I mean - seriously, thats what most pop music seems to be today. As far as I'm concerned , the R&B Genre is pathetic. Most female artists can be cut-and-pasted between songs, with no change to it. The male artists are little better. And the music & lyrics are so shallow: the subject is money/ho's/how much of a player I am/how much of an ice queen I am.

Give me some sweet, sweet Live any time time.
