REQUIRED LESSONS IN ENTERTAINMENT.....
after two miserable decades of American pop culture. Its obvious we are incapable of creating anything with any lasting endearment. We have to keep re-inventing the wheel at every turn. We have no Hollywood which to speak of, that is to say, its nothing like it once was.
We have no pop scene. The one we have is filled with excessive no shows lining up to jump head first into a cemetary plot..... this week its Lindsy Lohan and Britney Spears...... last decade we had Kurt Kobain..... last week it was Anna Nicole Smith. Everyone wants to be a victim . And then the ones who carry on their legacies line up to victimize the victims once they have taken a full dirt nap......
But thats America.
XTC could never ever become American pop stars. First of all they fail the criteria on all accounts. They are not from this country, they are all alive, and are talented and have been around for years and are completely brilliant.
So sorry boys, but you do not qualify to become American entertainment. You simply aren't disposable enough.
Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding know how to belt out solid tunes and make them entertaining. They jumped on Virgin records and Richard Branson knows how to take a chance.... its a winning combination. Plus XTC are upbeat and smart with their lyrics and arrangements so they are always doing something interesting.
This video should be watched for educational purposes. Its fun to watch. Mostly because its seriously UNAMERICAN.
