Today's music and artists are awful, for the most part. 😝

I listen to classical music now when I'm at home. I agree pop music has become boring. Most of it is about boy meets girl, surely there's more going on in the world to write about. What happened to the protest songs? -

I think things became like that since the 90's. -

Yes, I miss those protest songs from the 1960s. However, they were a product of a different generation. We're too self-absorbed nowadays.

Lauren Hill had these interesting insights into the music industry recently."The singer, who faces jail time related to her outstanding debt, has until May 6th to address the balance. Lauryn Hill had this to say about the situation:
It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music.
I’ve remained silent, after an extensive healing process. This has been a 10+ year battle, for a long time played out behind closed doors, but now in front of the public eye. This is an old conflict between art and commerce… free minds, and minds that are perhaps overly tethered to structure. This is about inequity, and the resulting disenfranchisement caused by it. I’ve been fighting for existential and economic freedom, which means the freedom to create and live without someone threatening, controlling, and/or manipulating the art and the artist, by tying the purse strings.
It took years for me to get out of the ‘parasitic’ dynamic of my youth, and into a deal that better reflects my true contribution as an artist, and (purportedly) gives me the control necessary to create a paradigm suitable for my needs. I have been working towards this for a long time, not just because of my current legal situation, but because I am an artist, I love to create, and I need the proper platform to do so.
The nature of my new business venture, as well as the dollar amount reported, was inaccurate, only a portion of the overall deal. Keep in mind, my past recordings have sold over 50,000,000 units worldwide, earning the label a tremendous amount of money (a fraction of which actually came to me)."

Only a completely complicated set of traps, manipulations, and inequitable business arrangements could put someone who has accomplished the things that I have, financially in need of anything. I am one artist who finds value in openly discussing the dynamics within this industry that force artists to compromise or distort themselves and what they do, rather than allowing them to make the music that people need. There are volumes that could (and will) be said.

Just as your taste in food changes, so does your taste in music. The music of today is good if that's what you like listening to. Some people like the music of the past and that's ok too.
I have been enjoying some of the latest releases in the death metal music ind.
There is good music out there today it's just a matter of choice.
I think we can all agree though that the new stuff from JW.org is complete 💩.
