American Idol Still Sucks

At the end of the first new House episode in weeks, I find out that due to American Fucking Idol there are no new House episodes until March 27. Sigh. That show just sucks the life out of everything around it.

Like I said before, I can't rag too much on American Idol; it makes perfect sense in this musical era.

Once again, most listeners are into songs, not artists so much. CD's and other long-play formats are for old fogies like me. The kids these days download their music one song at a time. AI is an effective breeding ground for singles artists - not to mention those who see music as a stepping stone to a career in Hollywood, just like the old days.

In many ways, the music industry has come full circle in the last 50 years, which never fails to amaze this geezer who can remember when rock'n'roll was going to save the world.

I cannot stand American Idol. I don't mind seeing it when they have the bad singers, but this whole -- get on a show and become famous mentality makes me puke.

I used to watch House, but I've lost interest. Seems like the same show every week ... weird illness, House will be a jerk, staff gathers round in awe, Wilson and he argue, Cutty and he argue. Cut.
