I know I know this is not really a personal development post!
But I wanted to write something about what people are doing in the UK. If you don’t know what is happening let me explain.
Simon Cowell has had an artist at number one for the Christmas single. Four years running! This is a great achievement but many people are not happy that he is dominating the charts so much. Especially with the sort of songs he has.
The X factor show is also a great platform for him to sell these artists to us. Clever when you think about it.
So what is the big fuss about Rage against the Machine and Joe McElderry?
Well someone on Facebook started a campaign to get “Rage Against the Machine – Killing in the name” at number 1 rather than Jo McElderry’s song.
I am fairly indifferent to the whole thing but I have to say as a teenager I did love the Rage against the Machine song. Joe’s song is also good but I kind of want this backlash to work.
Not in a malicious way, just because I think it is great this country is realising that if we stand together we can make a difference. I think that we need to do more of this. I don’t mean raging against the machine just knowing that if we think something is wrong then we can do something about it.
It doesn’t have to be a riot but it can be something powerful like this campaign. Many say it’s all a con anyway as Sony has the rights to both songs so what is the difference?
Well I guess that is a good point but I think this about people realising they have a voice.
We can do so many great things in this world if we just forget about being just a couple of people and seeing that if we feel a certain way then other people will also. They are always people who will feel the way you do. It’s just about finding them and working to a common positive goal.
OK, so perhaps I should tell you which download I purchased? Well you may have guessed. Some of the lyrics are pretty strong but I couldn’t help myself!
