The MTV Video Music Awards is the home of the worst junk of "commercial popular music". Newsmax said earlier this year the dearth of symphony orchestras is a sad thing, and I admit that is a fact.
I can't stand MTV or any of their sister networks.
The death of the symphony orchestra. For someone who aspires to sing in amateur symphonies and enjoys the love of singing, and having been associated with a splendid operatic singer, that is not a good thing. While the quality of music is growing, few want to be involved in chamber music. That's very sad, especially to those who enjoy chamber music, such as myself. Real music is sung in chamber music with beautiful voices, and there are few of us who aspire to sing like the aces. I know I am one who likes to sing like them.
