Observation #16 - Music


Why is it that all music today sounds the same, whether it's pop, country or contemporary, it all sounds the same to me, it sound like it's being sung by depressed adolescent people on Prozac. Very rarely do I hear anything up-tempo or well just happy. I can't tell one song from another, they all sound the same, same words, same melody, same voice and same reaction, makes me depressed. Even country music has a overall tone of depression, some body's been cheated on, had their truck stolen or been hit by a train, not too uplifting now is it?

Back in the days when it was a luxury to have an FM radio in your car and you could break a finger pushing the preset buttons on your AM dial, the music had some personality, some style. You could listen to Bob Seger or Donna Summers, both would be totally different experiences. There was a selection process involved, you had to choose between John Denver or Heart based on what you were in the mood for. Now it doesn't matter what you're in the mood for, you're going to get teen age depression.

Thank goodness for CD players.........
