What the heck is on our radio today?
Let me take a moment to complain about the "music" selections of 2010-2011. I'm sorry to those whom this might offend, but the majority of the music that is played on the radio today isn't music at all. Yes, certain songs have a great beat and are fun to dance to. To some extent we need songs like that--prom certainly wouldn't be any fun without them. But really? When I'm listening to a song and the lyrics are similar to "Yeah man, your *bleep* is so fine, I gotta *bleep* your *bleep* all the *bleep*ing time, foreal, dawg," I can't even figure out what the song is about. Whatever happened to music that actually had a meaning, not to mention a melody? Personally, some of my favorite artists are: Jim Brickman, Coldplay, Chicago, Josh Groban, and have you even heard of Idina Menzel?! Now that girl can sing, unlike most people on the radio. I realize that not everyone is listening to "Italian in Algiers" by Rossini or "Popular" from Wicked on their iPod, but I just find selections much more meaningful than anything Lil' Wayne is rapping/bleeping.
