My American Idol Rant
by Mark
Why in God's name have we allowed this stupid show to define pop muisc in this country? A show where the judges are: the ex-bass player from Journey (Randy, yo dog The Wheel In The Sky Keeps On Turnin'), a music industry twit who cares more about making money than hearing good music (Simon Cowell) and a fucking choreographer!!!!!!!!!!! Paula Abdul is a very talented woman as a dancer, but she can't sing at all!! Her singing career was short lived well, because she sucked and the people in this country are letting these three people persuade them as to who should be, basically the next Elvis!!!!!! The winner, essentially the last three finalists are immediately given record contracts, anything they need to get their career going and in 2 weeks their shitty CDs are pouring into Wal-Marts everywhere, where apparently people are devouring them by the masses. I just can't believe that many people want to hear Clay Aiken sing fucking standards!!!!! To hear Ruben Studdard sing Don't Go Changin' by Billy Joel!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argggh!!!!! I mean it's like we're living in some weird after Elvis went into the army, pre-Beatles pop hell. Geez, this has to die, or music will. I'm sorry my first really long journal entry was so long in coming and angry but I had to vent. More positive ones will be coming soon, as a guitarist busting his ass trying to write my own music this American Idol shit is just annoying. Peace,

Hello! Umm... this may or may not be an odd question but... I was recently introduced to Druidism by a friend and want to learn more. Do you have any recommendations of places to look (i.e. websites, books, etc)? I would really appericate any input. Thanks a bunch!
