The Latest Trend



I am guilty for falling for music business marketing trends during my youth.  However, as I sit on my sofa watching a Top Chef marathon while Radiohead is getting ready to hit the stage in the Woodlands Pavillion outside of Houston and I DO have ONE TICKET, I am plagued by recurrent commercials of some new singing chick.  This "Duffy" actually sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse.  Now, how many British white chicks are there who sing soul music?  To me, they are overrated.  Of course, upon further research, she is actually Welsh.  Needless to say, Amy Winehouse has many Grammies under her belt, as well as some assault convictions and erratic behavior.  As Great Britain has produced some of my favorite artists, i.e., Radiohead, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc., I am beginning to doubt the soul-singing white chick factory.  So, Radiohead is getting prepped, ready, and will be playing the first few bars of "Bodysnatchers" and I am sitting on my ass, typing this.  Oh well, such is life. . .
