That is a good question Mark. I have pondered this very question for years. I think I have the answer. As I have said numerous times we have been bombarded with so much crap that we have become to accept it as the norm. Think about it...the public will buy any old crap and will follow the fashion regardless. This has been going on for centuries. Recently though things have nosed dived and standards have dropped...not just in music but in everything. We buy junk food cause we are too stupid or lazy to cook proper meals. Everything is mass produced disposable crap. If it is not worn out in a short space of times then it is made unfashionable so we have to buy the latest model.
The Suits are not interested in promoting great music or searching out real talent..they are only interestaed in making money. If you can make plenty money from exploiting third rate acts then why bother looking for real talent. TV is now producing some of the poorest quality programs ever. We are too lazy to turn to a decent prog or switch it off.
What gets me really angry is that when I draw folks attention to this I am branded as a moaner and negative person.
It is because I love music so much...as much if not more than Mike Caro....that I say these things. We should all wake up and smell the coffee...call a spade a spade and be honest with ourselves and others. When a thing is crap there is no point in saying it is not just because millions buy it. We are frightened to admit that most of us are stupid and gullible. Perhaps I should just not say anything and just think that people are stupid and deserve what they get. But silly me thinks that if enough like minded people actually bucked the system and spoke out then things would have to change. Perhaps it is just me that is stupid.
