Just Another Drug Overdose

As of today, according to CNN, opioids found on his possession, and in his house.

Just another in a very long series of drug deaths. For the pop/rock world, recreational drug use is of equal or greater importance to their so-called music [1].

If only the music of Breensh [2] was any good [even by pop/rock standards. But, it all stinks [I don't sink to using the other, more widely popular 's' word]. It's crap. Even some one such as I, who loaths pop/rock m*s**c, recognizes that some good tunes have been created over the course of time [most notably, the compositions of The Beatles].

But, Breensh's output hardly rises above the mediocre. Most of it's just annoying. Good tunes? What good tunes?

The adulation accorded to him seems to stem from 2 sources:

[1] His stage act. Which makes him nothing more than a present day, pop/rock vaudeville performer. Which's exactly what he is. The generation who adored the vaudeville acts of their day is now mostly dead. Acts such as Breensh neatly step into the vacuum.

[2] Unalloyed nostalgia of older and old folks for their bygone life. Back in the late 60s, the hippies and the counterculture never tired of sneering at the nostalgia their parents had for the music and culture of the 1940s. They swore they'd never, ever end up like that. Poof - here they are, aging and just as riddled with nostalgia as the prior generation was.

[3] Gen-X-Y-Z Millenials - no surprise that some of them cling to performers such as the recently departed. These people have the worse musical taste of any generation in recent memory. Think about it - they play EDM/techno all day long, 24/7/365. They love it. Are you going to take their example?

[1] It burns me to call - and even to type out - the word music together with pop/rock.

[2] My esteemed Pakistani coworkers have been talking about the pop/rock act [note my avoidence of the word artist] previously known as Prince during the past week. They call him "Breensh" or "Breentch". I've been seriously warned, scolded, and informed on this site in the past that language is always evolving, and thus, any adherence to correct grammar or pronounciation is nothing more that an expression of American bigotry and chauvinism. Grammar and pronounciation must never, ever, ever, ever ever, ever be corrected or even questioned. Or, one of my other undocumented co-workers recently rhetorically asked:

"Amereeka? What is Amereeka? Who is Amereekan?".
Severius! Supremus Invictus
