You Might Win On "The Voice" but I Think You Suck! (ruminations on the gamification of american culture)

I'm old (see here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@mikeinfla/i-m-old-and-jaded) and opinionated, I've been around. I've seen a lot of music : the Ramones at CBGB and The Beastie Boys at an all ages punk show, Miles Davis, Sly and Robby and The Boss, Michael Jackson and Gil Scott Heron and B.B. King and The Meat Puppets and Pierre Bensusan and Michael Hedges and Aquarium Rescue Unit and the Dead and G.G. Allin and on and on and on....
And after that, all I want to say is that-
MUSIC IS NOT COMPETITION!
It's art , and because you might be technically great and actually impress the judges on a t.v. show it means jack shit to me! Music Is Art! not competition!
