Messy Democracy



So they voted the talented Lilly Scott off American Idol this week...

You just knew that was going to happen - that in aggressively eliminating two out of eight females, votes would cannibalize each other and someone undeserving would suffer unfortunate luck.

But this is certainly American Idol's fault alone. There was no reason for them to stick hard to the *6 boys and 6 girls* formula when it was abundantly clear from the get-go that the boys, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM, stink.

After all these years, however, the show is still rocking. Heck, it seems like every other Top-40 song on the radio these days is sung by an AI veteran.

So THAT's why the Top40 sucks so much! I thought everything sounded the same but then I figured I was just going crazy.

Amazing to think the stuff on the classic rock stations was once considered "Pop"... as was Michael Jackson. Timeless music, with real talent and emotion. Unlike all that AI-inspired, over-produced, soulless garbage!

What do you listen to?

I just told you-- classic rock. You do know what that is, right?

Runs the gamut from Beatles to Led Zeppelin to CCR to Bob Seger to Van Halen and beyond! Too many different outfits and sub-genres to name... though I will give a special shout-out to the band named after your current hometown: BOSTON! Love that "stadium rock" or whatever the kids are calling it these days/back then!

it's more than a feeling...
