Welcome to "The Machine", Frens. Don't even try to get me started on lyrical and poetic "messages" that we all derive differently. Or the politics of payola. It's been going on for generations. Motown was highly threatened by some white girls blowing them away. The white girls got, at best, some later billing in Vegas. Outlaw country was too real for radio play. Street rap from the ghetto turned thug. "Sell out! With me, oh yeah! Sell out! With me tonite! The record company's gonna give me lots of money and everything's gonna be all right!"
