Right. And you would expect that attitude from some pompous old fart who only listens to the classics or something.
But for the average bloke, pop music is good enough. And so I don't know why (music) people have such a negative attitude. It seems to breed further badness. If you want a hit, it has to be shit!
I believe in the past, even though people like Brian Wilson and Lennon And McCartney and tons of others before and after that period were working in disposable silly pop music for the unwashed idiots, there still was the desire for it to be
good. And sure enough, it was!!
Be My Baby is pretty unchallenging, seemingly disposable tripe, but it inspired the mind of Brian Wilson, and lives on and on.
(Bear in mind, I can't produce a hit, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.)
