Music in society

Im going to use this post for a little bit of a rant. I'm going to post about music in society (as you see in the post title). Our society seems to be a little obsessed with the media, when i say a little i really mean a lot. Our society is so obsessed with the media, that things that are posted dont seem to be just about news, politics, etc, its also about actor, and music, etc. These topics are all talked about daily but the problem is that they are all put in the same type of categories. So when you log on to your news site, weather it be cnn, yahoo, or whatever, there is always the option of choosing topics that are all headlined right next to each other, you get things like "Obama Care website problems" and headlined right next to it will be something about a famous person that is some nonsense that we for some reason seem to be obsessed with.

The problem with us being so obsessed with this nonsense about these famous actors or artists is that we choose this topic over the politic topics, because it sounds more interesting, because it isnt boring, because the writer draws your attention in with some crazy title. We eventually forget about the politics topic, we become more uneducated about what is happening to our nations, but we know everything that is going on in Miley Cyrus' life, we know whats new with the Kardashians, we know what is going on with the famous people that we love so much. We know what band is going on tour when, and with who, but what teenagers really should be learning isn't about these famous people, they should be learning how to understand, and research what it is that's going on around them.

Dont get me wrong, im not saying that its wrong to know about famous people (my whole blog is to inform people about famous artists and music), im not saying that you cant research whats going on in your favorite actors, or musicians life, but there comes a point where its a little crazy, when you know more about them than politics in our country, you've become uneducated on important topics. This is coming from someone who is obsessed with music, i am obsessed with learning about my favorite artists, knowing when theyre coming into town to see them live, knowing just about everything there is to know about Pink Floyd, i read books about musicians, weather it be autobiographies, biographies, or just simply a post about good bands or anything music related, but i also am educated on politics, i know what is going on around me, in this Nation.

I love music, probably more than most people, i listen to music probably about 20 hours a day, I love to learn about music more than any other topic in the world. I click on the famous people headline before the politics one, but the important thing is clicking the politics one too. So please help our nation, become more educated on things around us, learn about politics as well as famous people, help our society become educated.
