Australian Idol: "In a world first, contestants were permitted to use instruments to enhance their performance in Sunday night's acoustic show." OMG they suddenly realised what music is all about. Gee whiz, bands like Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, Red Hot Chilli Peppers etc etc aren't so bad after all??? F*cking Idol ****ers. Music is about singing AND instruments. I'd take some of Hendrix's or Corgan's guitar solo's anyday over somone just singing. Perhaps real music isn't dead after all. I still maintain that nothing is as soulful as the guitar. The formation of notes that can be made, bent, moulded can make one sad, mournful, happy, angry etc. Never been into Eskimo Joe but I appreciate what they are doing now. They are rocking out, not selling out.
