This blog could go on page after page after page because there is so much to say about the music industry that would probably be left unsaid. But since this is a blog, I am going to talk about it. Let me take you back to 1999 where things really were crazy. The buzz was really pop music, but you were uncool if you really liked that stuff. I think the latter part of my generation really realised that music was really dying a slow death in the mid '90's. What was on the radio and what was slowly taking over was this drab, generic sooth my soul but not my mind, 2nd rate cheesy music, from second rate artist who really had much to say, but unfortunately too little time to say it. The result was a kind of music that only stimulated your senses, but lacked real time tell me like it is, talent.
Music slowly died in the '90's with bands like Alanis Morrisette, Sarah McLaughlin, Lenny Kravitz, The Tragically Hip, Radio Head, Britney Spears, The Back Street Boys and America's top 50 leading the way into a new generation of noise, to drown out our thoughts and memories of a time in history where music actually meant something, and you weren't ashamed to go down to the HMV and but a CD of your favourite artist and actually be inspired not by the bam bam bam, but by the music itself. Why did music die? Because our society died with it.
Yes we are still here and the world we live in has a voice, but that voice has been diluted or muted because the only voice they are hearing is bam bam bam. Take away the facade and what do you get? A man standing on the corner with his underwear on, but about to come off. Oh ya and I forgot to mention Oasis. I think that their named band takes us to where we are now and where we will stay, singing but not forgotten, of a day when music made you sing and your money showed you..Joan Osborne and Jewel weren't just pretty names but people with talent.
