Last night I did not watch the MTV VMAs because they have next to nothing to do with music or videos, nor awarding the most deserving or best musicians. The VMAs are a joke, and if there was any question about this, Britney Spears confirmed my opinion with her “performance” last night.
That is how they chose to open the show. Case closed. It’s official, the M in MTV does not stand for Music.
Talk to people who grew up in any decade before the 90s, and they talk about bands and musicians who actually sang and played their own instruments. The megastars of their eras really were stars and had talents that the average joe did not. The Beatles were four guys who could all write music, sing, and play a variety of instruments. And do all three things better than almost every one else; and create music that appealed (and still appeals) to almost everyone!
What can the Britney’s of today do? Sing? Nope. Write music? Nope. Play even a single instrument? Nope.
We need to change the music industry. Remove the industry and make it about the music.
I seem to recall the co-author of this blog having a different view of Mme. Spears in the bad old days….Robot
