You know I enjoy a bout of karaoke a time or two (or is that 'boot'...being Canadian and all). It's a good thing for me when you have enough music behind you and can sing in tune enough that people generally enjoy it. I'll never be a rock star and I'm okay with that. Power up the music and give me a mike...I get the post song spiritual buzz from the acolades and I'm good to go. It's a temporary feeling that you are a rock star before reality hits. How easy would it be for someone to hit that 'La la land' and stay there though?
It's a bit of a trap. Quite delusional. There is more to being a music star than just singing nicely. Bob Dylan isn't a genius because he can sing like a canary...but he's still a genius none-the-less - stoned out of his tree most of the time but still a genius.

[Today's music is what I call...Attack of the Tramp Pack!!! Where young, attractive women dress in as skimpy outfits as can be legally worn on public media. You could barely notice that the music has as much musical integrity as a bored four year old humming random notes. Ofcourse musical 'spin doctors' refer to the new standard of musical excellence as 'complex'...and while you are reelling from that obscenity to truth... they further add that it takes a much more refined sense of musical understanding to appreciate this complexity. It will take as much as half an hour to dig yourself out of that pile of shit. A metal garbage can rolling down a 45 degree incline of a pile of wounded puppies has 'Musical Complexity'. I know you younger generation have hardly any time in between the computer games you constantly play but seriously; The music that you listen to doesn't have to be sung by a singer who gives you a woody. I know time is short but seriously! Go watch some fucking porn or listen and demand to listen to some fucking good music. Choose one for fuck sakes. Vote with your money. Go listen to some Boston, April Wine, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Styx, Supertramp, Collective Soul, Three Doors Down, Tragically Hip or whatever spiritually turns you on. Really feel the music in your soul not some musical shade of beige performed by some glamour slut.]
