The evil of remote control

Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

It started out innocently enough, or so I thought. I was watching the first game of the NBA finals on TV. During a commercial break I followed my usual practice of surfing the channels for anything but commercial advertisements. I happened upon the Fox station and found a rather weird concert. The music was this perfectly incipidly vacuous candy sweet techno-pop. A cute adolescent girl comes out and starts dancing in a herky-jerky way that fit the techno-noise that the audience took for music. Speaking of the audience, that was the scariest thing I have seen in a while. They were in a total frenzy of trasfixedness. There were 6 year old girls singing along and mimicking the jerky girating of the lead singer-dancer. When the so-called singer started "singing" (I use the word in its most generous sense) I was astonished. It was the worst voice I have ever heard singing on TV. As I watched this breathtaking spectacle trough one song (another generous useage of an honorable term) the thought came into my head, "could this be the Britney whom I have seen mentioned at the Asylum a few times?" I must admit that I have ignored all the posts that are about Britney, and I had no idea until tonight who or what she was. But a look in the paper revealled that this act was indeed "Britney in Hawaii". What a colossal jewel of supreme vacuity, with a face to match. The music surpasses even Yani in absolute worthlessness. And people seemed to be loving it in inverse proportion to its musical emptiness. Pop culture has reached new levels of shallowness.
