My 2009 Desires For Music

In the year that is still to come, there are quite a few things that I want. Who does not have a super powered list for the new year? (like no one...) Anyway, if music was a person (one person) and I could ask him or her for anything that my heart desired; this would be my tiny little list of requests. For more fun, I would send that person a letter. In this letter below, I'm just going to go ahead and make Music a woman. Because ladies are everywhere.

Dear Music, thank you so much for reading this letter. I hope that the holidays have been good to you and your loved ones. As you know Miss Music there are quite a few things wrong with the music industry today. Below I have listed the things that I want to be changed. Thank you so so much in advance.

1. Punish those that behave badly. Adults are adults so they are way past tantrums and terrible behavior. Their first offense, depending on the severity of the act, gets a small tap on the wrist. A warning. The second offense, still depending on the severity of the act, gets a medium sized punishment. Not too harsh, but not exactly a timeout sort of thing either.
After that all the training wheels are off. Stupid acts should lead to musicians automatically having their rights to make music revoked. Those rights should be taken away until they stop behaving badly. When they have proven that they have learned their lesson and are ready to act like an adult; they should have their rights to work in music studios, make music videos, and be on television (especially live tv) restored.

2. Award shows. How many award shows does the public really need to be exposed to? This kind of goes beyond the music industry, so I know that there is only so much you can do... Still though, in my opinion there should be only a certain number of music award shows. Do VH1 and MTV really need to have different shows for that purpose? I don't think so. Considering that MTV is more popular than VH1, I say let them have that one.
The rest I leave to you since I am aware that there are different areas of interest. (like the Billboard Latin Music Awards and so forth)

3. Music videos. It is terrible that stations that were made with the intention to play music/music videos are now chock full of drama's that quite a few people don't care about. I for one do not care about the Hills. I know that many people are into shows like that, but, I and quite a few people are not. Yes, the internet is the new musical hero, but... Come ON!

4. The paparazzi. Need I say more?

For now that is the extent of my list. I did not want to put forth too much. Once again, thank you in advance.
