You hit the nail right on the head. Once someone becomes popular,
everyone is so quick to abandon them! I've heard it right here in the
REM argument. I've seen it happen to some Radiohead fans. Most Nirvana
fans did that,as well as Green Day fans. Once these bands became media
successes,the fans couldn't handle not having a "secret club" anymore.
is a pretty clever and well performed bit that essentially describes her
last two years out of the light. The single's well produced [maybe
that's what turns some of you off (?!)] and is "real". Though I realise
that people can have diverging musical interests from mine, it
simultaneously baffles me as well.
What oh what oh WHAT IS IT about produced music that turns all you
intellgent people off???? PLEASE tell me!!! I can understand a distaste
for overly slick sterile R&B production,but it seems like anything that
isn't stripped down,raw or extremely thoughtful is not good enough. This
is why I'm scared of my own career. I know that if I released an album
in the style of my current producer,all of y'all would probably laugh at
me!!! I thought about Alanis after I made that post,and although I still
shake my head at "Ironic",I'm a fan dag nabbit!!! She's cool.
OK I needed to use my credit card there,that was way more than 2 cents.
None of that was directed at anyone specific,either,and I'm still in a
great mood. :)
