But I Sold My Soul For It

There is a pretty good story on cnn.com titled Has rock & roll become irrelevant?

Well, okay, maybe there are a few other culprits responsible for the musical mess we're in today. Namely, the label executives who sign so much bunk; the careerist musicians who make it; the FCC, which in the '90s deregulated radio to the point where a few corporations own most major-market stations; the radio listeners who don't hang up when radio's hired marketing guns ring up to do ''call-out'' research and play 10 seconds of a song to find out if it's a hit. Complicit, all. But I don't have any compunctions about essentially blaming the mercenary folks who run radio today. They're an easier target than Saddam Hussein, and possibly more deserving.

Pretty much what I have been bitching about for years. There has to be a ring of hell where the idiot who signed Limp Bizkit goes and is forced to listen to them for all eternity.

I think I am in a rut. I have not tuned into any new music since the year 2000. There has to be some new music that does not suck, eh?
