Listen to the state of contemporary music.  The stuff that  is saturating the 
air is so clumsy and amateurish, yet it is being foisted  upon a musically 
illiterate public as great work. Music written by people who  can't play, who 
really don't know much about music other than a collection of  licks and hand 
positions, hackneyed song structure, lines lifted whole cloth  from other 
compositions, is being lifted to high acclaim by people who should  know better 
simply because it is making them  rich.


Reminds me of a line from the Sopranos, where Christopher says  something 
like, "4th grade poetry and a drum machine and every  ditsoon thinks he's 
Chairman of the Board".
