"Bonafide is the Old Deal, Fake Is the New Real..."

The title of this blog is taken from the hook of the ever so talented artist Alice Smith. Perhaps, she was reading my mind when she wrote that song. Or maybe she checked out the iPOD's of millions of listeners who voices still aren't being heard. Where is the balance?

Why is the industry so overly saturated with Lil Wayne and every wanna be Lil Wayne? Why is Souljah Boy a millionaire? The combination that perplexes me the most is by far Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj??? Really Robin Thicke??

Should there only be Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Norah Jones blasting on the radio? No, not all. But is it fair to only play Young Jeezy, Rhianna, and Drake? Oh, I forgot these artists appeal to the masses.

(Sighs deeply) OH, MEDIA.

"Full speed ahead--Rock n Roll is dead. The girls and boys from the mickey mouse club clocked it in the head. TV makes people so tired, bored like a bird on a wire. I check the pulse and I light a match then i set the tele on, i set the tele on fire."
