I Make Music For Fun (Others Make Fun Of My Music)

A video road trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks by Steve Cordova

Are Whites Just Under The Delusion Blacks Can't Hear Them Or Do They Just Think We Don't Exist Or,...What?

Like Ann Althouse, Camille Paglia usually gets music waaay wrong, but this time, her latest pronouncement has her looking especially old:

  Eminem's art beats Gaga's pop

Forget Lady Gaga. Eminem is the only true artist working in pop today, says Camille Paglia, America’s foremost cultural critic 

An understandable mistake but, still, really misguided. An obvious sign Camille hasn't kept up for some time. 

Despite his claim of God status, Em's been out of it for years now. He doesn't want to be coasting on his name today, but he is, and that's what makes Camille's words ring so hollow. He's currently striving and failing. We love him, and all the more power to him - totally no diss - but his best work is (possibly) behind him.

But in Pop, the only "artists" standing are the two cantankerous K's these post-Grammy whites are apparently desperate to ignore:

Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. 

Without a doubt, nobody's made better work than they have and Kanye's Yeesus ("Soon as they 'like' you - make them 'unlike' you") wins by default, because he's the old guy with tenure.

Gaga isn't even in the running,…

 

MMMMmmm: Race, Religion, And Juicy As All Get Out

Don't forget:

I've always advocated fighting fraud to stop or slow the other ills of society.

I don't know why it shouldn't work for race problems, too,...
