Country, though it sells well, is totally dead, with singers from New Jersey copying garth brooks badly, saying the same old tired shit. None of them have ever milked a cow.

American recorded music has an endgame feel. Probably india, russia, or china will be the next place.
Pretty much covers it. The 'musicians' are no longer artists, they are entertainers. You don't have to be able to play instruments and sing to entertain, you need to be able to draw a crowd.
