HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT A CONSPIRACY THEORY? Payola is back in the news today as Eliot Spitzer hits
Entercom Communications Corp. with a new lawsuit. From the NYT:
Spitzer also accused the company of ''falsely promoting records up the music charts'' in reports to the magazines Billboard and Radio & Records about the play time of songs that was supposed to be based on popularity.
You don't say? I
guess that could explain some of the omnipresent sucking on the pop charts, and it is indeed comforting to have a theory for it that doesn't involve millions of people deeply enjoying ad nauseum repetition of Jessica Simpson, Laffy Taffy or *INSERT YOUR OWN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT NEEDS HATING-ON HERE*.
