Ha. We were talking about music the other day. They had an article in the Los Angeles Times last year where they interviewed several music execs. They all pretty much agreed that most of todays music is throwaway.

Somewhere along the line record companies lost interest in finding a Dylan, Young, Springsteen, etc., someone you could depend on to create good music over an extended period. Music companies are all now interested in getting the quick buck. And redoing the process in another 2 years or so.

>The first time I saw Beyoncee was about 5 years ago - my wife and I were in a restaurant, and one of the TVs was showing her music video. It was from pretty far away, I squinted, and said to my wife, "did Britney Spears spend a week on the beach?" Of course, my wife gave me the elbow (she's had alot of practice), because she thought I was being rude. I wasn't - I honestly thought it was Britney with a suntan. Of course, now everytime I see someone who looks like Beyoncee, I'll ask my wife if it's Destiny's Child....and again, I get the elbow.
