Onemusic - Orwellian Country Music 2005 Prediction By Robert Harper
Note: You`re probably wondering how
I got started on this `Orwellian Music Theme`.
Well, it began very easily... I was watching
a commercial, for Nike maybe. There were these
old folks dancing `polka style` to hip-hop music.
Later, some break dancers were wearing cowboy hats
and jammin` to a banjo.
Cute. Entertaining.
Until Tim McGraw hit the hip-hop scene.
Mustard hit the windshield.
This ain`t no joke > it`s happening.
On with the story.

(Quote) A music dies when it becomes
a parody of itself, which has happened
to some extent with rock...
---Chet Atkins, Dec. 15, 1974 People Magazine
Thirty years later, we see rock artists
like Kid Rock cross into country, and
Tim McGraw ventures onto the hip-hop scene.
I believe, (and you may or may not agree), the music industry as a whole is in turmoil. Companies, artists, and groups jockeying for position in a rapidly changing digital world.
This I can predict... the music industry consolidate and attempt to widen their appeal and shock the public. Top artists will increasingly cross boundaries.
Will it all be one music... someday'
