Autotune, and the rest of the technology is a very small part of the problem. The music industry in the United States and globally is rigged. For instance, compare, and no talent puppet like Taylor Swift to people like Karen Carpenter, Diana Ross, Linda Ronstadt, Tina Turner, Loretta Lynn, Etta James, etc. you’ll have your answer. The corporate criminal elite were on the music industry and everything else are just trying to put out as much product as they possibly can. These people are the ruling class, and they are the reason why everything, not just music sucks now.

Today the children at 13 are sated and tired of life. I would burst from my bed every morning filled with wonder and anticipation. Every sound I heard , every person I saw , every word I spoke , every interaction in the classroom and the sport field was a joy. The music contained the same dimensions.

Today there are only a few artists that have that same feeling when they sing…James Arthur, NF, Chris Stapleton, Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, Lauren Spencer Smith, Noah Kahan, Morgan Wallen, Ed Sheeran at times, etc. My father every Sunday on his day off would spend his morning with me in the living room spinning me around dancing with my feet on his to his old 45 records. One of my favorite memories of my father which I have only a few of from my childhood and now that he’s gone.

The 1960’s music was the template for much of the great music thereafter. Pop music went off the rails in the 90’s and seemed to degenerate into the 2000’s. Gone are the days when a singer could capture an audience with pure talent. Fireworks, lasers and special effects can never accomplish what these gentlemen did with their voices and presence. Nothing I have heard produced in the last two decades can give me goosebumps. These young people have proven music like this would be welcome on pop music stations.
