top of the pops gets the can...
And The Age has a wake. Not even a very enjoyable one. But they do title the article "The Day Music Died" with a picture of Enrique Iglesias - quite amusing for that alone. And I've only admittedly seen a little of the top of the pops - but mostly its fairly insipid fair these days. The writer laments the end of a show that has lasted so long and seen so much inflentual music. I think that it's been watered down and watered down and it has been fading away for a very long time. Perhaps I would be upset if I thought there was anything genuine lost, but it's really the extension of the logic which produces mainstream commerical music. If the show doesn't make plenty of bank then they haven't got a reason to run it - certainly nothing like musical integrity or nostalgia here anyway.
