Oh come on now. You don't feel that way. Do you?
Oh, yeah, I DO feel that way. Kill your idols, they said, it will be fun, they said. And, then, what happened? A new generation of heroes, prophets, idols, martyrs, etc... But still nearly no one to launch a reflexion about the musical industry, the way concerts are organised, how learning to play AND what learning, the boundaries between genres, the integration of "minorities" in the said industry, etc... MUSIC HAS AN UGLY SIDE AND NO ONE WANTS TO DEAL WITH THE UGLY SIDE.

So you do feel that way.
Seriously though. It sounds like you are more pissed off with the music industry and its controlling forces rather than the actual music itself. I'm I right to say that? Hey listen, I agree. The music industry is sooooo ugly that some actually consider it good looking. Sad fools.

No, I'm also genuinely pissed off with the idolization of normal people who start to believe they're the center of the universe just because some simpletons amazed by the wonderfuuuul guitar solo at the end of this niiiiice ballad sung by the awesome singer about his break-up with his former girlfriend.
The misbehavings of the music industry just adds a bitterness to the awful taste I have in my mouth.
Rock & Roll will eventually die, but not until the original Rock & Rollers stop playing. That means Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. All three of those guys are still playing gigs in 2013.
Young upstarts like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, and Status Quo can bugger off.

Rock & Roll will never die. Soul Music will never die. Jazz will never die. Bach will never die. Hip Hop and Rap will never die. Blues will never die. Country Western will never die. Prog will never die. All music is eternal.
