just a shame

Post by Stephen Winters »

Remember when artist got famous for their great vocal abilities and muscicianship? It is a shame that Rascal Flatts has resorted to showing nudity in their video's in order to sell records......

Just my 2 cents.

Recall John Lennon and his Oriental wife?
Recall the Dixie Chicks?

It's just another mile down the road by todays' so called- country stars. In another year "OUR LONG ADMIRED INDUSTRY" will no longer exist.

It TRULY is a shame! I feel quite angry about the manner in which an industry I grew up has been totally disassemble by a group of misfits and non-talents whose only idea of music is LOUD, SHRILL and PAINFUL.

Right. If God wanted people to be nude, he would have created them that way. And if he wanted John Lennon and the Dixie Chicks to have talent, he would have given them some. I haven't really listened to Rascal Flatts close enough to assess their talent. Did he leave them out too? Too bad millions of fans around the world can't see things this way.

Okay, relax, Stephen and Ray. Image I hear what you're saying. I'm just pointing out that it's a big world with lots of view points. There are two different things, music and entertainment. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by David Doggett on 23 July 2003 at 10:47 AM.]</p></FONT>

My 2 cents:
If you don't like seeing nudity, change the channel. Aren't you holding the remote?

David - I´ve always thought that we were created nude, and that clothes are human inventions.
