i only use 'idol' due to the obvious idolotry in our society across the spectrum...

i was all about sex, drugs and rockNroll in the 80s but the latest crop of youth hasnt got a clue about anything except easy leisure with somebody else pullin the cart...my oldest son included...instant gratification has sunk to a whole new low these days [im sure my grandparents felt the same way] but i think we [the grownups who learned a bit of history and scripture] need to LEAD the way to repentence from all the 'idols' we serve in our daily lives...

The Lord is watching how we handle ourselves in this mess, unfortunately, that, i believe, is why our 'representatives' still have the ability to write...

I realized you were simply addressing a well known example with a poor name. No problem.

In the old days we called it Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour. Of course they’ve worked it over considerably in the process, no doubt.

There is an entertainment factor in there, but it has been blown out to be unwholesome IMO.

The ‘idol’ factor of it is real. That is not wholesome. It’s done to facilitate the expenditure of dollars, and massive profits.

These people are not interested in our youth, other than to exploit them as cash cows.

Guess who? And why does the music business promote (choose your own noun) like this as "guitar heroes?"
