It’s not that we have run out of melodies or ideas. There are nearly infinite combinations of those to be found. I think it’s just that the music industry has decided only to cater to the lowest common denominator. They don’t want to bother trying to promote good music, because it is easier and more cost effective to promote bad music.

Before I retired I used to work in a place where the workers were allowed to have different genres on each day...one day rock, one day country. The only country song that I liked was Alan Jackson’s “The Little Man.” That song said something and with a lot of feeling. Every other country song was some cookie-cutter version about some guy taking his girl down to the creek in his pickup truck where they could go fishing or swimming or digging for worms while looking at the moon. If you could find more honest songs like Jackson’s, then I could agree with you.
