Still Running Behind
Ok, so I'm five days late on the Friday Five. Give me a break... I was on vacation.
1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why? Honestly, I don't have one. I love listening to disco and music from the 1980s because they make me feel young.
2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why? I'll give you two: Tori Amos and Jewel... basically for the same reasons. They whine. Their lyrics sound like the same crappy poetry that every junior high school girl writes when they think they're "deep." Are they talented? Sure. But that doesn't mean I want to listen to them. Ever.
3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person? I don't like most people in general, so probably not.
4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show? In addition to concerts I've paid to see, I worked for a few years at the Palace of Auburn Hills, so I've seen a lot of concerts. After a while, they all seem to blend together. Cher puts on a hell of a show, as does Madonna. I'd say Def Leppard was right up at the top, too.
5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music? I'm kind of torn on this. I mean, the artists are generally getting screwed by the record companies to start out with, so I feel bad that they're making even less money because of free downloads. On the other hand, I didn't see anyone beating down the door trying to get people to stop making cassette recordings and "mix tapes" in the 70s and 80s.
