I don't think the corporations are producing music that they know people like. I think it has an agenda.
Why cant it be that the pop star is just a tepid shallow individual? Why does it have to be a music machine conspiracy. Personally there isnt a pop star living or dead that I'd sit down and have a politically, or socially ethical charged conversation with. They don't live in the world I live in.Money,glitz and glam change everything. Also,what on earth do I possibly want to hear their opinion for? Its not rooted in anything that remotely parallels my exsperience as a person.Music is to a degree soley entertainment, Im not saying it can't changes lives etc,but if I wanted a politcal debate or the 411 I'd turn on the news or an election.
