There are more pop stars than necessary, and I totally feel ya on giving unknowns a chance to be heard. But you've said (jokingly - acknowledged) more than once, "I've never heard of this band, they can't be any good". Picture go fast. It just might be that we're not exactly the target demographic the new unknown stuff is being aimed at.<BR/><BR/>I don't know.mommakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138745092234541349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-58286234947954236362008-11-17T18:21:00.000-08:002008-11-17T18:21:00.000-08:00I think they should go back to taking chances.

I'd like to see something other than the latest, greatest, sure to go platinum hip-hop artist.bassislifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702963863862810468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058548553330112542.post-40036395536310244962008-11-17T08:21:00.000-08:002008-11-17T08:21:00.000-08:00It's a good point - and one I considered - but I d...It's a good point - and one I considered - but I don't know what I'd change or how I'd change it. How would you go, if you were the king of SNL?

I'd love not to have to "make picture go fast" through this portion of the show and see and hear something worth listening to.bassislifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702963863862810468noreply@blogger.com
