Yep, America’s Idle … or at least a sizable chunk of it is, if The News & Observer’s relentless barrage of shout-outs to American Idol local fav, Scotty McCreery, is any indication.
It’s ironic to think a decision-making process once claimed as the exclusive domain of the music industry – a sort of record producers’ noblesse oblige, to be hashed out in secrecy behind closed doors – has been transformed into a cash cow and television spectacle consuming millions of otherwise productive hours of viewer time. Wow, what a racket.
And to think what an opportunity Ed Sullivan missed by not holding elimination rounds between The Beatles, Elvis and The Rolling Stones. Who can guess what the masses would’ve decided.
Sure glad I have better ways to spend my time.
