Post subject: 50 Cent. Rarrrr |
  |
|
Just caught an interview with rapper 50 Cent, as he is known to his fans (his real name is Miles Scaife-Dingethorpe, or Arfur Dollar). A fascinating young man, though unfortunately almost too stupid to speak. He reminded me of some of my less proficient students. "The music business is really the business of selling music," he argued, "so I do what I do."
Music? The oaf wouldn't know the difference between a crotchet, a quaver, and a bash in the chops with a bassoon. I would like to dig up Ludwig van, or one of those boys, and introduce them. "This is how we do music now, Ludo. You spent a year studying with Haydn in Vienna; this guy spent two years in jail for armed robbery and dealing crack. Not only can he not read music, he cannot read at all; indeed, he can barely even speak. And yet he thrives."
He made more than $50 million last year. Well he wouldn't be doing so well if I were in charge. I would have him taken outside and shot.

Not really my sort of thang but he's worth a dance around the hay barn.
Ludwig Van? Was he in Creed?

Hear! Hear!
Down on the Estate, I won't allow anything other than the finest Symphonies to be played. I've never heard of this 50 Pence chap, but I've no doubts he follows a rather discerning trend of modern, popular 'musicians' who don't know the first thing about music.
I refuse to listen to the wireless anymore, because all that I am encountered with is tone-deaf, scruffy young boys shouting into their microphones. Oh how I yearn for a society that can truly appreciate the complexities and fine nuances of a Mozart symphony. Thank goodness for Radio 3!
