Mumf is right on. This definitely points out the shallowness of pop music and celebrity culture. It's all forgetable - the song is just a number. The people are faces, with meaningless conversation, tons of introductions but no substance. You meet them once and then forget, same as you hear a pop song for a few weeks and then it's gone.
