And everyone is trying so hard to sound like everyone else. I heard someone singing on TV yesterday and I thought "he sounds very good" but honestly he sounded no different than a dozen other guys out there right now. I would not be able to pick his voice out of a lineup. Creativity is missing. Actual instruments have been replaced by machines. Most of the real singers, musicians and creators are found on the fringes of the industry rather than in the midst of it. That's not how it used to be. Of course there are some exceptions and there are definitely some acts I enjoy today as much as anyone, Bruno Mars for instance.
But something did happen.
