Madonna said the other day, “All music today sounds the same.”  I agree. At work, the other workers play today’s popular music, whether it be rap, pop, or dance. All of the music terribly repetitious. Most primarily demeaning towards women. Men come across as simply angry about most everything. Hard to fit that word “love” in with all that misogyny and malice. There is no “feeling” to the music, that ability to stop you in your tracks and grab you.  In today’s world, the endless opportunities to distract ourselves with phones and tablets and laptops prevent us from taking the time to really, closely listen anyway.  The people producing the music today already know that. Our feelings are lost. There is no need to press for music trying to find them.
