On the dictatorship of bad taste (Mary Ocher)

Dedicated to the degradation of pop culture and current sorry phase of the music industry, an industry that currently does not acknowledge its power in creating new markets and nourishing creativity.
Instead, it's been steadily ignoring most every novice and cowardly going for "known formats" that are not very sophisticated and certainly not challenging.


lyrics

"
This balding man is your father
one day you will grow to be just like him

Michael Alig, Leigh Bowery, Divine,
Andy Warhol's factory, Iggy pop, David Bowie
These were real people, real people.

When the bass kicks in, it's a tragedy
And the lyrics - they're just awful!

The label A&r say:
"YOU know it, WE know it - but THEY don't,
so we play it safe"

and this generation will not have a Franklin,
a Zappa or even a Prince, for glitter's sake!

we flush their ears down the toilet, and SMILE!"
