I love the message this song provides. It's a remaining veteran from the golden days of music speaking against this mindless corporate machine that is the modern music industry. I wouldn't link it directly to satellite radio, but no doubt that's a part of it. Back in the day music was a way to express your feelings and deliver messages. But as the mid-1990's came around, this all went up in a fiery ball of wreckage. Even thought the song doesn't say it, we have MTV to blame. Now music is a way for people to make money. It's a tool for corporate men (the boys upstairs) to thrive off stupidity. And as we celebrate mediocrity, fakers call themselves singers, but they put shame to the word. They hide themselves behind disguises such as auto-tune and far overused collaborations. The worst offenders? Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, and Ke$ha. I mean just look at those poser names! Petty puts modern followers to shame. Hats off to a remaining legend.
