[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] "Creation" conventions used to set Trek video clips to popular music, for the entertainment of conventioneers. such as a "Heroes of Star trek" video set to "Holdin' out for a Hero." I was at a convention in Pittsburgh once where they played a video showcasing Spock, set to the music of "I still haven't found what I'm looking for." It was, perhaps, the coolest of that type of video, or, really, ANY type of video I've ever seen. I can pretty much bet that nothing similar will ever happen to BSB. (The following is simply my personal opinion, without any numerical factual data to back it up. It is largely a matter of taste (good). The BSB's music is pap, plain and simple. Homogenized, lowest-common denominator, easy-to-sing, drivel. It means what it says, but it says VERY LITTLE. And the whole 'popularity' angle is garbage. If a billion people do a stupid thing, it is STILL a stupid thing. 'Pop' bands like BSB are DESIGNED to draw in the mindless or immature masses, who are looking for something to make them 'popular' with the 'crowd' instead of committing the unforgivable sin of being individuals. It's a sad thing, and I see it every day. I have a standard by which I judge music. I listen to the radio during my 25 minutes to and from work every day. I have 12 stations programmed in, which I skip between. Any song I hear at over 4 times a day , or a dozen times in the course of a week, on the various stations, automatically goes in my 'slush bin,' as a SF editor would call it. (Alternate names: File 13, the Circular File, The OUT Out basket.) BSB is one of the most overplayed groups on the air today. I rarely hear U2. That is how I know U2 is better. They HAVE to play BSB a billion times, to get you to listen to it. To give you no CHOICE but to hear that drivel. But I SEARCH the radio for U2 songs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
