these are sad times for the music world. the thought of foo fighters being considered for all these prestigious awards makes the very bones in one's frail skinny frame creak and crack under the weight of the terribleness of it all. arctic monkeys are good, not brilliant, 'lad rock' isn't really my cuppa char but the lyrics are well constructed and the tunes are catchy. but the subjects they touch up on are written for disco dwellers, laddettes and larger louts (all of which can be found in abundance at any a.m. gig). where are those red hot bands of the past that will go down in history will the likes of joy division and nirvana, sex pistols??? nowhere to be seen. if i were dave grohl i'd know deep down that i was a pretty crappy songwriter and and worse lyricist. and i'd know that my band will never rank in the same league as my heroes bands.
