Of rock and idols.

Hello people. I'm here, lucid and reasonable.

The the word 'idol' will be used where it means that any member of the public idolises any artiste in the music industry.

I only caught the last part of American Idol where Jack Black made a fool of himself. Its intended to be a parody of the American Idol auditioning process, where Simon makes his predictable insults.

I think the people like to watch someone putting down someone else on national tv.

I think it was so dumb. But you have to respect Jack Black to suck it up and play the fool as he most often (not always, notably) does. He's better than Sanjaya thats for sure. lol.

Bringing me on to rock idols, and americanised idols. Both have a few things in common. They both need to sing (they both don't need to sing o.o), they both dress up as what they ideally want to be, and they are usually well known.

There is one fundamental difference. All americanised idols do is sing, wave their hands and look good. That's all it does to make the audience happy. But is it good for the audience? When all the person you look up to and admire to does is sing about true love (or the break up thereof), I feel that these idols are not educating their audience. What is so constructive about ogling over his good looks. Sure they might be able to sing, but what do the lyrics mean?

Rock idols sing which sing about ideals. Of struggles and perhaps history. Well of course some compose songs like "Lick my Love Pump" too, but there's one thing in common man, they're all raking in the money.

Don't get me started on hiphop idols. Rappers, yea, respect. The ability to think fast and rap words that make sense and also rhyme demands talent that might not be found in everyone. Not some dipshits who sing "Security cell, I'm grippin oak \ Music loud and tippin slow". Bleh.

I have no time and energy to write a better lament on the horrendous quality of music that the industry is churning out now.
