the first real post

ok so first real post... go!

this is something that Ive had several talks about (see:arguments) with my girlfriend, who i love more then anything, but damn music sucks these days.

The best example i can give of this is a song called I like to Fuck by Tila Tequila (or something like that)

this actually is a hit song, and just like the title, the song is about nothing else then how this chick is a huge slut bag. seriously theres a line that goes "I like to fuck/suck cock until i hurl"

like what the hell! seriously? this is a legitimate song that people listen to?
I just dont get it, i mean im far from a prude or whatever but is that what the music industry is coming to?

the other part of this (the biggest part of the arguments between me and the girlfriend) is the lack of respect for the classics.
lets take a look at one of my favorite singers, Meatloaf.

listen to just about any meatloaf song, some of them are pretty goofy, but the man pours every ounce of life he has into every song, and (as far as i know) there are very few who know who he is as a singer, and those who do know cant stand it. but give a chick some recording time, and let her sing about how she likes to fuck and its a chart topper? there's no conceivable reason that this should be.

so onto the next issue that ive noticed, at least a little bit anyway.
how a singer is seen in the media and lets say society as a whole has no effect on how good his music is.

my example A for this is Elton John.
yes people he's gay and flamboyantly gay at that, now that thats out of the way lets take a look at his actual music.

Its beautiful. he lets his entire soul shine through his songs.
Now if you like his type of piano music or not, i cannot see any possible way shape or form that you cant see this and respect his ability as a recording artist.
It just bugs when when you hear people be all like "Elton John? ahh he sucks"

if you don't like the music then fine, but there's no need to ignore the mans raw talent, and his ability to  preform.


unless its that tila tequila chick, man i hate that song.
