That's what it is--hype. The media tells them, "This is you are going to like" and these sheep just go and do it. And I don't want to hear that they're just teens. So what? When I was 14, I was listening to avant-garde stuff and King Crimson and Indian music. I liked Leo Kottke and Chet Atkins. I didn't go out and buy Donny Osmond, who was the big teen star at the time. I don't want to hear that kind of defense--they're just kids. If a 14-year-old can join a gang and kill cashier in an armed robbery and get pregnant or get someone pregnant and make plans to blow up their school and all that then they can't tell me Kanye West and Justin Bieber are the best they can do for choice of music. I'd execute them just for that alone without mercy or regret.

And the last time I saw a musician I did like on a cover. Hmm, I saw Les Claypool a couple of years ago. I like Les Claypool. That's really about it.
