why pop must die

Sign of the Times

So it turns out that Trump's obsequious silent partner son-in-law is just as shady as he is. Not that I'm surprised. Nor am I surprised that the music industry's response to the Trump presidency is almost as silent as Jared. Trump's greatest ally isn't Vladimir Rasputin, or Fox News, but the corporate music industry which continues to churn out its hipster bubblegum designed to lobotomize yet another lost generation into being too drunk to vote, too unaware to care, & too distracted to act. And only the ignorant & gullible would accept the empty suit argument that the labels are merely giving the public what it wants. Recently, the highly overrated corporate subsidized Kendrick Lamar bought a full page ad in Rolling Stone in order to boast that he sold, wait for it, half a million copies. Have things declined so much that certified gold is now the new diamond? That's not an example of the public getting what it wants. That's the result of the corporate agenda having it's way. When rock & roll was king, the recording industry was a high margin/high volume business. In the age ofpop, the corporations have made it a low margin/low volume embarrassment.

THE QUESTION ISN'T WHETHER HISTORY WILL JUDGE AMERICA HARSHLY BUT HOW HARSHLY. AND HISTORY (AND OTHERS) WILL BE ESPECIALLY HARSH TOWARD THOSE WHO WERE IN A POSITION TO DO SOMETHING AND CHOSE TO DO NOTHING.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
