Focus! Focus!

Hmm.

At present, all of us are very much aware of the music thanks to radio, television (especially Materialistic-snob's Television a.k.a 'MTV') and of course, the bastard-child of newspapers: the dreaded Tabloid.

The Tabloid's History has always been shrouded in mystery because of their ability to divert peoples' attention, credit fro this goes to their employees who tend to talk through their rear ends.

Sadly, these blokes are succeeding because of the sadistic nature of people who delight in seeing their 'favourite' celebrities being torn down and trampled upon by these celebrity-vultures.

It's a wierd world we live in: the actors provide the entertainment both from the television screen and the tabloid's pages, but that's not the end..... it becomes more and more interesting with the photos accompanying the tabloid's text-crap.

A quote: famous people in Britain have to dread being taken by a tabloid photographer, but they can walk down the streets in the USA as any other joe. I think it's interesting that tabloids are taken more seriously in Britain than anywhere else (but that does not discount the existence of Tabloids elsewhere).

Music today is very crappy due to the tendency of record companies to focus on the artiste's image instead of the stuff that goes to the listener. A very good example are the Taiwanese 'boyband's F4, Energy and 5566 (what kinda crap name is 5566? why not 7788 right???), which throws in dance moves and good looks to draw attention away from the music. i wonder what these guys will do when they hit 30. Maybe acting (which somehow doesn't seem to be their forte, as seen in F4's 'meteor garden') when they realise that maybe dancing isn't very good because they turn lazy.

I believe that it's good for us to look at the world right now, and i'm having mixed emotions about the tabloids. they provide crap, but they simultanously tear away the good image of these crappy groups. Maybe if the tabloids just stick to thrashing celebrities, i'll applaude their actions. Someday.

Cheers and read proper stuff,
