Top Ten Non-Movers
I've something to say about the state of todays pop
Littered with watered down RnB and dodgy hip hop
Jumping about with manufactured dance moves, it's total visual horror
But I know their prime motive, it's their pursuit of the dollar
Today' it's all manufactured, pretty and slick
When I look back at the early eighties it makes my heart sink
Okay there's muck and gems in every decade
But there are more stinkers now from Cowell and his brigade
I remember a time when music was'nt the same
Making original music was the name of the game
Punk and new wave delivered original stuff
And making money was less important as putting out guff
Even rap today should begin with a 'C'
Slickly dressed gangster swill with nothing to say
All done before with NWA
Smoking dope in flash cars with their Ho's on parade
That's why I listen to music of the past
I like my thrash metal it'spowerful and fast
Acts like Kreator, Anthrax, Slayer and Sepultura
Have much more to say about the world and it's increasingly bleak future

I've loved music - with a few exceptions which
shall remain nameless - for much of my life.
Indeed, I write songs, some of which feature
here and elsewhere. I came to adolescence in
the 50s - young enough to thrill to the daily
change in songs in the Top 20, with hits that
are "classics" of their kind now - but also old
enough to see what a singer like Frank Sinatra was about. He stayed with me through the years
- and his many recordings as his breathtaking (literally!) skills developed will never date.
He had - and will continue to have - something
for every generation as it grows to maturity.
The joy of music is, of course, its amazing
variety - and I thank my lucky stars for it.
