"Someone actually asked me once 'who is your favourite New Kid'?"..."THE FIRST ONE THAT DIES!! That's the poster that's goin up on Willy's Wall... And I hope it's Donnie too, that scruffy little rebel. I hope he gets that one chin hair he's been trying to grow for three years stuck in the wheel of his shooter and his head pops off like a ~@£%ing champagne cork! POP!! That would crack me up for days! Just spurting blood like a ~@£%ing geyser, 'splurt', 'splurt'... yeah, and his parents are there, his Mum sees it, they have to watch with their eyelids held open like Malcolm in Clockwork Orange..."
And to my left, we have Britney Spears, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Shakira, Westlife, Boyzone, Robbie Williams, Gareth Gates blah blah blah blah.
And to my right we have struggling bands that just very well write the soundtrack to a moment of your life or capture a piece of history.
The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, The Temptations.
All gone now.
Instead we have disposable karaeoke singers in 15min fame grabbing slots.
Music used to matter and music used to give passion and life, a soundtrack to your life.
Instead, now, it provides background noise for shopping.
*slow applause*
Well done tasteless moron public for buying this rubbish. Well done to the "it's only a song" and "kids like it" people.
It's not "kids just like it" that worries and and should worry you, the fact that you are not teaching your kids about musical history means it's fading. My next door neighbour, a 8yr old kid, had never heard of Michael Jackson, The Beatles or Tina Turner.
But he loved The Cheeky Girls and Scooter.
But why am I bothering to get worked up,it's only music right?

I blame Stock, Aitken & Waterman, they were the instigators of the tweenie pop revolution - using popular soap stars to front their nursery rhyme ditties.
