13 possibly unpopular (and definitely controversial) opinions on Music, Radio & the Recording Industry

1.) Rock'N'Roll is the soul of God personified through music. End of discussion. I have spoken.

2.) I HATE Rage Against the Machine. They can take their radical Leftist politickin' BULLSHIT and cram it back up their asses where it belongs.

3.) Rap and Hip-Hop are NOT legitimate forms of music. I don't even want to regard them as a strange form of street poetry. Also, that shit gives me a headache.

And this guy don't play... Well, actually, he does play drums and guitar in several bands at once... And he's damned good.

4.) That Dubstep shit can go to Hell too. I'm not interested in listening to the soundtrack of robot porn. This shit also gives me a headache.

5.) Nirvana is overrated. Yes, you did just see a person who came of age in the 1990's talk smack about that band. No matter how much the Media insists that band defined that particular decade, they just aren't really that good. People just latched on to them because they were different from the hair bands of the late 80's and early 90's. If there's one band that might have actually defined Rock in the 1990's, it wasn't these glorified Punkers from Seattle. It would have been MetallicA or PanterA. And speaking of Punk...

6.) Most Punk is just noise and sonic garbage. Melody is IMPORTANT, dammit! If the Sex Pistols could manage to create a few melodies now and then, so can all the rest of you. I have spoken.

7.) Disco wasn't terrible. In fact, it was quite preferable to the Hip-Hop crap that followed in the wake of its demise.

8.) I hate 'NuMetal' too. It's just a bunch of rappers with guitars.

9.) MTV deserves to die. It is a shell of its former self and wouldn't really survive as a strictly music channel in today's Cable TV market anyway. Since we're talking about music on Cable TV, how do those 'Music Choice' channels on most cable and satellite systems still survive? How does that service generate income? I know they diversified into a service like SiriusXM, but SiriusXM doesn't make money, either...

10.) YouTube probably isn't going to be a good place to find music videos for much longer, either. Google seems intent on hate-fucking that platform's asshole until it dies from Super AIDS. Time to go with Vevo, Vimeo, BitChute, et al. instead. That one actually makes me sad. I really do like YouTube. It's sad to see it die.

11.) Morning talk shows on Rock Radio also need to DIE. They are annoying, boring and unnecessary. Do I really need a 4-5 hour show about two jackasses discussing politics and news articles? Does that really need to be on a Rock station instead of the talk station where it belongs? No. No, they do not.

12.) Speaking of morning talk shows on Rock stations, the local one here in NOLA is especially bad. I'm sure John Osterlind is a nice guy, but his show just annoys me. ALL of his jokes fall flat and I don't care for his overly dramatic tendencies when some news story upsets him. There was a time when morning radio was cool with Shock Jocks that actually were funny. However, all of that came to an end when Clear Channel (now known as iHeartMedia) and other media conglomerates bought every media outlet they could and homogenized them. Thanks for running radio, ya Normie jackasses...

AND FINALLY...

13.) Music is a lot like a candy bar. The first thing you do is throw away the Rapper.

The Man. The Myth. The LEGEND.
