I hate the boring, reptitious hip hop garbage that seems to be loved by both Americans and Europeans. To me, it's like nursery rhymes for babies. When you read the lyrics, there aren't any words or ideas that couldn't come from someone in the sixth grade. It's pathetic.
I miss voices like Karen Carpenter. I miss singers who really meant what they sang with all their heart, like John Denver. Luckily, Rush is still going strong.
Here is a snipped of Rush lyrics. Compare it with the grade school drivel you hear nowadays from hip hop and rap:
We can rise and fall like empires
Flow in and out like the tide
Be vain and smart, humble and dumb
We can hit and miss like pride.
We can circle around like hurricanes
Dance and dream like lovers
Attack the day like birds of prey
Or scavengers undercover.
