Why do musicians have to rip everyone off?

The other day I was listening to Punch Much. I heard that song by BEP, the one where they use the Pulp Fiction music. And also the Beep song by Pussycat Dolls, where they use ELO's Evil Woman. And I was upset. I love ELO, and my love for it was slightly nibbled away by seeing their music used in a song about guys being gross jerks.. And how it's perfectly fine. I'm tired of this. What's the good of music anymore, if it's rude, demeaning and unoriginal? It used to be about love, and now it's about... Ugh.

My friend was talking about how she missed the good old days. The days we never experienced, that is, but miss nonetheless. The days where women and men stars were perfect, beautiful and glamorous. They were talented, revered and were respected. They were dazzling. Now it's just too easy to be a star. Stars dress like prostitutes, and little girls follow the example. What happened to the beautiful jewelry, the perfect hair, the lights? I want that. I want to be awed by stars, not repulsed.

After all the work women went through to be heard, why are so many of them now throwing away their dignity?
