Bad Art Changes You Beyond All Recognition

"The content of pop songs is generally restricted to two essential modes: I Love You and I Hate Myself. In its limitations it resembles binary code. What should not compute, but unfortunately it does, is our insistence that the world’s greatest musicians should impoverish their own imagination by working in such a confined space."

-- Andrew Calcutt, reminding me why I can't stomach the work of The Spinners, or other related dreck - turn on the radio or any popular "Booty Call" music channel - and (no matter what I have to offer) may never become a popular recording artist myself, on Spiked.
