First, put yourself in their place.

It is quite conceivable (however you spell that) that a person could reach age 30 in today's society and never have heard a melody sung in tune or an orchestral piece played on a real instrument.

(Actually, you could go quite a long time without ever hearing an actual melody, much less one played in tune.)

No wonder these pop stars cannot resist the seductive power of the old music, even though they cannot completely shuck the cliches of their-lives-up-to-now.

As an example, a couple weeks ago I was out pulling weeds while carpenters worked on a house across the street. They had the radio turned to a rock station (I know that's what it was, because the announcer announced it every few minutes.) They had the same band doing cut after cut, and the vocalist was a male, probably white and trying to sound black. He was just ravaging his voice, singing a harsh, gutteral style which is sure to ruin your voice before long. However, anything for a buck!

The pieces were all alike - no variety. Now there's cr*p for you!
