Kate was commenting on the adult nature of the Britney Spears special on HBO the other night - I couldn't agree more. All she needed was the dollar bills tucked into her pants - there was even a pole! I only watched about the last 15 minutes, and I was embarrassed to be sitting there with my 12 year old daughter.
I too am encouraged by the seeming returning interest among teenagers in singer/songwriters and good old fashioned guitar driven rock. My daughter is a good example. We only watched the bit of the Britney special because my daughter wanted to see "just how bad it is". She also recently declined to watch a TV special on which Nsync was appearing because she said their music was getting "boring" - I thought I was going to have a heart attack. This kid has been all about Nsync for the last 2 years - we have posters, calendars, dolls, you name it. If my kid is any barometer, the pre-packaged blond bimbo/boy band school of pop music is dead in the water.
