So here I am. Sitting in front of my PC, working away. In the background my stereo plays a local radio station (not the one where my cousin works, the other one).
A song ends and the DJ begins talking about Britney Spears. I tune out, with my ear recording every few words. Something about a new song and an ex boyfriend once again talking bout Britney's virginity.
The song starts playing, and i half listen, half return to my work.
Suddenly my ears perk up at a familiar tune, but i dismiss it. This is a 'nothing older than 18 months' station. However the tune is still there, so i get off my chair and walk over to my stereo, and turn the volume up. As I walk closer to the stereo (a 2 metre distance), i identify the song.
'I love rock and roll' continues to flow out of both my speakers, as i twist the volume control upwards. After a quick listen to confirm it is in fact miss spears voice, i turn on my heel, twist the knob back down to a low level and walk back to my PC.
And now i am typing this increasingly long post.  Embarrassed

A few things strike me here.
1: 'I love rock and roll' -come on britney! i'm sure you do
2 (more importantly): Why is it that every single pop artist/band has to re-do a song that has just come off copyright, and well and truly KILL it. WHY?!!!!

Because the record companies stifle all creativity in the name of being completely inoffensive to any potential customer so the only choice is to steal successful songs of the past.

I'd better not tell you the news story I saw on Inside Edition then.

It said that Britney lip syncs at her concerts.  (Like this is a surprise.  Concerts have been lip synced for 30 years.)
