*How deep is the decay in the music industry?
Well if they consider “rap” to be music, then is is long since dead.

A crow cawing or a bum beating on a dumpster is more musical than rap.*

Once I heard somebody in the Industry say (and when I say the Industry, I mean the Business) that, “Rock was invent for kids who can't sing.
Rap was invented for kids who can't sing or play an instrument”

Rock was invent for kids who can't sing.

True enough, but there were some good rock artists in the 60s and 70s who certainly could sing. (Deep Purple, Heart, Kansas etc)

Rap was invented for kids who can't sing or play an instrument

True enough dat! There's a pop-40 station here that plays the same godawful crap several times a day. I've concluded there are a couple of identifiable categories:

1) Jabbering murderers.
2) Retarded jump-rope girls (often heard with the above)
3) Whining white boys (emasculated talent-free crybabies)
4) Tragedy Rockers (always loud, minor mode buzzing guitars with no clue of dymanics...whining lyrics)
