Thank you for explaining the acronym, Music Head!

After reading architect Anthony Ling's recent article about the price that the poor in Brazil have paid for the privilege of hosting the World Cup, I really don't like this song. http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/10/brazil...mmunities/

"Show the world we are one"? Please.

This made me start thinking about the politics of music, and the discussion about Lana Del Rey, who Music Head (I think) classified as "the only woman of substance" in music (I think Lorde is one as well). No matter how much I like a song, I just can't get on board with it if the politics of the artist or the message of the song runs counter to what I value (and I ran into this big time a few years ago when Godsmack released "Cryin' Like a Bitch." I loved the song, but the message was so incredibly offensive and reinforced everything I work to educated against, that I just couldn't (wouldn't?) listen to the song).

Does anyone else struggle with this - or do I just have too much time on my hands? *laughs*

Cheers!
Mary

You are most definitely NOT alone in this. It's a major reason most modern pop leaves me cold and why I leave it aone--I'm unwilling to wade through the rivers of swill to find good songs that don't brown my berries. This site is valuable in sorting out but with so much older stuff undiscovered, why not let time sort these out to be discovered tomorrow and tomorrow and...? Admittedly, this is a partial function of age but then mores have changed too and I'm unwilling to follow.
To answer a private question publicly, I got interested in jazz in the early 60's as a reaction to the pop swill then being purveyed--put that on hold the first time I heard a Beatles song and the Isley Brothers ...and came back to it in the mid-'90's in similar revulsion.

I'm glad I'm not alone, jazzboCR!! What was the song/artist that drew your interest to jazz?

Pitbull is my favorite!!! He comes again with another HIT!
