Anyone who has (a) Listened to music in developed world 1960+, and; (b) knows anything much about music industry, has to admit the whole music thing has descended into tame mush which pukes all over most of the wannabes who never make it bigtime. Dominated by just four multinational corporations, even the 'rebellious' music is now packaged like soap powder, and much of today's sorry output is sold with a heavy dollop of sleazy sex to make it look 'tasty'. Once upon a time, everyone wanted to play music; now every kid just wants to be famous.
Other than a few independents like Nation Records in the UK, and some long standing whacky bands like Ween, there is simply no genuine alternative. Turning on the radio today is like turning on the gas with your head in the oven!! Do we need another punk revolution, y'know, or have all you kids gone soft in the head?
