Its done more to damage music
how so?
I think I may have used a poor choice of words trying to express myself.(What a surprise ha ha) I believe its damaged the integrity of music as an art form, possibly? And the integrity of the music business(if there ever was such a thing!) Maybe its a generational thing but it seems to cheapen the process of talented artists paying dues and sharpening their creative skills. I'm sure aware of "manufactured" stars from my generation too(60s-70s) but this thing kinda puts it on steroids! Then again I may be just sentimental and full of sh-t because I can count on one hand the "new" artists that I think could carry water for the rock n roll stars from my generation.

I don't need American Idol for that. That's what American sports are for.Quote

American Idol: a highly sophisticated life changing show that is now the lynchpin of
American culture, and at that, a fabulous use of time for the
overworked sofa bound American worker, a great opportunity to bury
cheeseburgers and not take the trash out.

I have seen it. But I don't and won't watch it - because I've seen it (back when it started, I guess, with Kelly Clarkson or whatever her name is - my daughter liked it - @#$%& kids); therefor, I think it sucks.
Not sure how that is ignorance...
