A sorry time in the world of music!

Yesterday at work, I just happened to be walking through the room when I heard "the song" on the radio. My boss had turned on the local Top 40 (aka Hip-Hop) station and was listening to it while she was working on prep. Much to my utter dismay, I heard a remake of one of the lesser known Michael Jackson tunes. I wish I knew the name of the song in question but I know it's one of Jackson's because I've heard it on radio station retro weekends.

So it's come down to this - a whole generation of musicians comes up and all they can do is rip off old medleys and/or lyrics. Unless you're Weird Al whose style is the parady, I find this situation unacceptable.

Whether you're in any form of entertainment, business, government, or whatever; if you'd like for me to take a look at your ideas and maybe even LIKE IT please come up with an original idea.

We may all be better off with them!
