I now watch to see this generations 'best' and I am disgusted. I quit listening to radio music in the early 90's because I couldn't stand it any more. I took the old fart's way out and began listening to CBC. Every song on the radio was lousy. The music stunk, the lyrics were pretentious and shallow and the modern rockers (alleged) were despicable. Other than that it was great!
I now only listen to classic rock on satellite. I know... I'm stuck in a time warp but I don't give a fuck. Have you listened to the crap that has been produced in the past two decades. Do you think they are going to be playing this bullshit in thirty years? Not fucking likely.
As I have said, my only contact with today's music is SNL so I have decided to write up a review of the musical acts that perform, and I use the term loosely, on the show.
Here are the first 'performers' of the year.
Radiohead
Radiohead just played a song that has left me staring at the screen with a look of bewilderment and revulsion. These fucking guys are famous? Are you kidding me? During the first inaudible song, Radiohead just played a song that has left me staring at the screen with a look of bewilderment and revulsion. The lead singer, some fucking scrawny little Englishman, was obviously dancing to a different song. Perhaps it was just playing in his head. I would like to criticize the lyrics but I couldn’t understand one fucking word. I ask again… and these guys are famous? C’mon.
And I am to believe that Radiohead is a tremendously successful band. WTF?
Foster the People
WTF. Have the 80’s returned? What a bunch of crap. Bubble gum meets crap. Lyrically lame. Muscially lame. They look lame. And they fucking think they are great. Here is a little hint, don’t just repeat the same line over and over and over again. Try something new you fucking loser. And they got applause. How low is the music bar? What should have happened is the old joke about the vaudville who came on stage as a comedian and left as a fruit stand. These duds should have been pelted with various squishy fruits. The more rotten, the better.
They should be named Foster the Fucking Useless Band. More like it…
2nd song: Like most bands today, they try way to hard to be cool. Keith Richards didn’t have to try… he was. These fucking guys do everything over the top to show how cool they are. Here some advice… try being good. How about that for a novel idea? Kenny Gee??? Are you fucking kidding me? Nice hair buddy. He looks like a homely Tiny Tim. Absolutly brutal music. I have already forgotten it.
Drake:
I know I’m an old fart…Jimmer called me that after my hockey rant , but I don’t care. Fucking rap is bullshit music. I have had grade one students write poems that are better than these that just keep rhyming the same over and over again. Pain, rain, gain, main, sane, lane blah, blah blah. … lame. Wow what clever lyrics. Just a bunch of stupid rhymes put together. A man, had a pan, with a fan, his name was Stan… Fucking stupid music.
This clown is dancing around like he’s Elvis, yapping about whatever, and then the backup singers begin. Only problem being… of course there were no back up singers. The song was called ‘I Know’. Well I’ll tell you what I know…. It sucked!
2nd song: WTF is this 'guest singer' doing? She is dressed in black spandex tights and what looks like a one piece swim suits. It is too bad she looks like a bag of spuds. Ick! Song called 'I'm So...' Ya? Well I'm so fucking sick of this crap I could hurl.
Is there no good music left in the world?
As a fellow old fart I am hard pressed not to agree with you on each and every point. I cannot think of a decent band arriving on the scene all sudden like since Dire Straights and U2.
ReplyDeleteI am going to see Jeff Beck on Monday. It will be great, because he actually knows how to play his instrument.
Now I listen to both old shit, and blues. What now passes as rhythm and blues is a joke and has no basis in the gospel music that are its true roots.
I'm with you on this one Angry and one with the Universe.
Cheers,
