Good advice if there ever was any.
I get confused when people make claims such as ''Beyonce is destroying music'' ''GaGa is overshadowing more important artists'' etc. Poppy
cock. Nobody is forcing anyone to listen to pop musicians, they are simply placed in a mainstream canon by our culture and society. There's even that abhorrent indie sub-culture (which is actually QUITE large) that claims to loathe the mainstream. It just reeks of insecurity.
Anyway, Beethoven is arguably more mainstream than ANY of these women because he's remained relevant for hundreds of years. So go play the Moonlight Sonata, take a nap, and get a grip on your bearings, because nobody should ever feel threatened by popularity, be it the social or musical kind.
