Someone on the girlgroup yahoogroup of ladies music writer-nerds sent this excellent article on the boys club that is the high-level music industry. “To be fair, there are plenty of men signing female artists not prancing around in high heels. But it’s hard to imagine this comment about Spears coming from a female: During an A&R panel at the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas, in March, a male talent exec joked after seeing a wholesome photo of a young Spears with a puppy that “she was the all-American girl you just wanted to defile.”

also you know the dude who said that was totally the type of LA A&R chode who’s douched in dippity-do and brushed linen. BARF O RAMA TOWNE

well…the weakening and fading giant is showing its true colors in a last ditch effort to save itself from extinction. i can’t wait for the whole thing to crumble into a pathetic mess, all asshole jock mentality and desperately vicious lawsuits against the little kids on computers.
you attack what threatens you and these guys have been a target of ridicule and complete distain from all thinking people for so long. one hopes that they just get a clue and leave the party before they get beat up.
