Comment on Grammy’s 2012: The death of an industry, live! by Shy-Anne

Shy-Anne — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:00:48 +0000

my favorite part was Jennifer Hudson’s song, and Adelle’s snotty tears… Adelle at least still has a very Human approach. It was great to see her as “one of us”, and not some “being” that is beyond what the average person can talk to. AWESOME Adelle.. truly!
The rest of the show? Well, I think the right people got the awards. I think pop is over done, and that musicians as a whole are forgotten in the mix of the lead singer and digital computer pop, and of course the many guitar solos. They are awesome.. but music is so much more then the lead singer, the guitar, and computer generated sounds that any can do.
I was just asking my students yesterday (I’m a musician and private vocal and piano coach) if they would allow a dentist who couldn’t use a toothbrush to work on their teeth, or if they would let a hairdresser who didn’t know how to use a pair of scissors cut their hair, or a doctor who didn’t know how to use a scalpel operate on them. Of course they said NO..
I then say, “Well, shouldn’t you KNOW music, the theory, history, structure, technique and such to be a ‘musician’?”.
Of course these days, sadly, you don’t!. It’s awful. Where has all the music gone? I think that is why you may have got the impression that it is a dying industry. It’s more about looks and show then the art now. It’s generic, predictable, and well, you don’t need to study like you used to. Dam. it is sad…

Family Rules is an amazing read. A rich city-fied multi-continental journey through “growing up noire”. A fantastic read….
