Metr! & His Little Imagination @metree-blog - Tumblr Blog

Run. I don't mean to always lie but I do intend to run as I'm just a leggy deer that must take to sudden flight when a mean, hungry lion comes to bring me a hard truth which could be the death of me. -written by Metr! -inspired by the MTV show and documentary "Catfish"

Some things defy analysis...but you will only know that until you've tried to analyze them

I'll never understand...

how readily acceptable and undisputed it can be to be highly critical and judgemental of athletes and sports. You can be clear about who you're a fan of and who you're not a fan of. You can dissect the craft that these athletes spend a lot of time working at...and we expect them to consider our views not only important, but worthy of attention. However the music world has such a dismissive, snobbish attitude toward the same microscopic analyzing. So-called "artists" and other entertainers reject any comments toward what they do, and in the same day sit court-side or television side with evaluation sheets and rubrics. Art is always to blame, but the "art" is never up for discussion. When your forced to put the craft to the art, many entertainers are quick to evade. It's quite acceptable to say what teams or players you are not a fan of, but a sensitive subject to say what albums, singles, and entertainers your aren't a fan of. I can agree that majority of the music critics in publications and such are entertainment or pop culture writers that don't know what they hell they are talking about. Many times their bad reviews or great reviews are way off the mark. Music is surely an art, an entertainment, and a business. But is it time for music to be a sport as well?
