I’m afraid that Christopher, my old college roommate and good friend, has once again decided to rag on the success of yet another good talent. (Reworked musical genres, 05/24/03) If Christopher had joined me to see Coldplay at Bimbos on 08/18/2002, he would be convinced that these guys deserve this success.
Christopher should be complaining about the air time performers like Pink, Jennifer Lopez (aka, J. Lo), or even everyone’s favorite *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake receive. These jokers should have never been offered studio time let alone the amount of money allotted to promote these hideous albums. What kills me is that J. Lo even refused to sing her hit song live on SNL, because the energy it takes to sing the song would take away from her dance performance. Bull!
There are plenty of bands that would give their first born child to get that gig. I’m not sure what the reasoning is, but this stuff sells and sells big.
Now, Christopher points out a few choice electronic artists. I’m with you man, these guys should get more props for their work. But, what happens when artists try to make a living? They are treated the way Moby was when his music began showing up on TV adds. People start calling him a sell out! But why? Because he was trying to make a living at what he loves to do.
All because record producers push what sells and most Americans will only buy what they are told to. Case in point!
Btw, what does ‘fin’ mean? I’m guessing the five dollar reference and not a fish limb.
