| Because you Fit The Suit
I'm not a big fan of "The Brady Bunch" but one episode really rings true for me and it's the one where Gregg tries to be a rock star and finds out that the only reason he was hired was because he fit the suit (costume).
Sadly, this is what the music industry has sunk to.
Busta Rhymes?
Missy Misdemeanor.
Lil' Kim
WTF?
Take a look at MYV/VH1 lately?
Quick humm a couple of licks from xxxyyy artist......
Bet you can't......
But I'll bet every single one of you slutz can humm a part of those animated United Airline commercials which feature Gershwins Rahpsody In Blue.....
(I think that thing biting on the desk is hysterical)
Why?
That tune is a masterpiece....
Missy is a pile of crap that is totally irrelevent....
Me?
I'm a 46 YO old school Jazz piano player and nite after nite I hear the same story "where is the good music" and not from just old farts like me either......
I do weddings all the time where the couple wants old jazz stuff....
Young people, who have had it with today's music.
I think the extremely low ratings of the Grammies and Oscars are proof of this.
My parents hated the Beatles, understandable because they were different than Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller...Still, the Beatles music has lived on....
Where is today's music going to be in 10 years?
Forgotton is my predicition.
I see at least 10 people a week with demo's who want me to master, track, tweak for them.
Sadly, 99 percent of them are so bad it's not even funny anymore but pathectic.
So what's the deal with today's music scene?
Are the production houses looking for someone to fit the suit?
Sure seems that way to me.
