The main ...Yeah, I rambled a lot and got off track. The main point I wanted to make is that it seems like music, regardless of style or genre, has become nothing more than wallpaper and carpeting to the average person. They No longer see it as art. It's like film. There are still artistic films made, but it's rare to find art on tv. TV is just there all the time with superficial junk. Music is something used to add a little to tv, film, shopping, cell phone, washing your dishes. It's there while you do something else.

BUT I have also noticed that many just don't bother trying to <I>find the jewel in an ocean of cheap glass</I>...music has lost it's purpose to them and is downgraded to being background noise.BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024085550417622898noreply@blogger.com
