Subject: Insipid formulaic bullpoo music...
I was watching MTV earlier, and not one song i heard was written or performed with any intelligence, passion, or integrity...

Don't get me wrong, i love a lot of the music out there. What i'm talking about is the material that seems to be churned out with this formula in mind...

1- Write a song. The melody must be almost exactly the same as everything else in the charts. Must include the following lyric...'i love you, baby/ you drive me crazy'.

2- Get someone who looks almost exactly like everyone else in the charts to sing it.

3- Market it to ten year olds.

4- Wait for cheque to arrive.

When, how, and most importantly WHY did this crap come to be considered music? Just curious..
