Take Zac Brown; entreprenuer, cover artist, musician, and Jimmy Buffet clone.
Take the gentle hypocricies buried beneath barbeque sauce; "it's all about the music / check out our new cookbook!", "notice the simple rustic quality of my state of the 'art' trailer", "Let's all thank the troops for defending our standard of living with a cold beer brought to you by the good people at Dodge Trucks and Kingsford Charcoal"
In an interview, Zac dispassionately explains his passion for the creative process extolling the virtues of writing original material "from the heart". But his set lists are the most cover heavy I've ever seen. And I guess I wouldn't have such a problem with the guy if his appropriations weren't from such iconoclasts as Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and Rage Against the Machine.
The unaware self parody of his subtlety free "comfort music" as described in this NYT article www.nytimes.com/2009/02/05/arts/music/05bowe.html
seems to be the same zeitgeist that props up Haliburton, Zoloft, and Fox News. If it makes money and the pain isn't mine then let's kick off another mid-tempo, jingle-ready, listening inhibitor.
You can taste the pride in Zac Inc.'s description of their touring chef's sponsor heavy preshow"eat and greet"s. Indulge your liberty of choosing some locally sourced vegetables improved with our very own Spicy Zac Brown Rub. And enjoy the after dinner musical performance featuring both brown gravy and cream gravy.
It says here in this here history book that people used to write a kind of music called "protest songs"
When did being post-post-modern become so lucrative?
