Or: I hate you so much!!
English:
This time I'll be talking about a plague. No, it doesn't consist on toads, locust, or killing anyone (art and music, maybe)... I just can't believe so many people let themselves be "distracted" with this guy, with so much better musicians and composers out there...
The main star of this post is a singer called Ricardo Arjona... Why the animosity against him, you may ask? Well, first of all, he tries to get through what he makes as an artistic manifestation. Now picture, the most simplistic rhymes, silly or cheesy vocabulary and themes utterly vulgar to combine with those two factors as: 40 year old women/cab drivers/minutes/menstruation (really, he did)... That's the kind of... "music", let's say, this should-have-been-a-lumberjack does...
And what's worse, hordes of women ranging from betweeners to cuasi-momified old ladies, follow this evil mastermind wherever he goes, buy his records and make fuss about him on every ocasion they have the chance... Don't they realize??

I'm not against popular music. In fact, I'm glad some of the traditional music here, in Argentina (such as the cuarteto), remains firmly in its roots, and its renewing, while welcoming new genres to the cathegory. And it's clear that, what this bloke does, could surely be labeled as popular music... But he and his followers seem to dislike the term. He tries to innovate, does it awfully and goes back to his old formulas...
I feel ashamed of sharing things (classes, transport, the country) with the kind of people that keep giving him money (which he doesn't lack).
Fuck you, Ricardo Arjona. Fuck, you.
Clickie, clickie, please!! Ha, ha, ha!! I'm using the interwebz!!

Español:
Hoy hablare de una plaga. No, no tiene que ver con sapos, langostas o matar a nadie (al arte y la musica, quizas)... Solo es que no puede creer que tanta gente se deje "distraer" por este tipo, con tantos mejores musicos y compositores, por ahi...
La estrella principal de este posteo es un cantante llamado Ricardo Arjona... Porque la animosidad contra el, preguntaras? Bueno, primero que todo, trata de hacer pasar lo que hace como una manifestacion artistica. Ahora imaginate, las rimas mas simplistas, un vocabulario tonto y cursi, y temas totalmente vulgares para combinar con esos dos factores, tales como: mujeres de 40 años/conductores de taxis/minutos/menstruacion (si, lo hizo)... Ese es el tipo de... "musica", digamos, que este deberia-haber-sido-un-leñador hace...
Y lo que es peor, hordas de mujeres desde puberes hasta viejas casi momificadas, siguen a esta maligna mente maestra adonde sea que vaya, compran sus discos y hacen quilombo por el en toda ocasion en que tengan la oportunidad.... No se dan cuenta??
No estoy en contra de la musica popular. Es mas, estoy contento que alguna de la musica tradicional aqui, en Argentina (como el cuarteto), se mantenga firmemente en sus raices, y se renueve, mientras recibe nuevos generos en su categoria. Y es claro que, lo que este flaco have, podria ser seguramente definido como musica popular... Pero a el y sus seguidoras parece no gustarles el termino. Trata de innovar, lo hace pesimo y vuelve a sus viejas formulas...
Me siento avergonzado de compartir cosas (clases, transporte, el pais) con el tipo de gente que sigue dandole de comer (como si necesitara)...
Matate, Ricardo. Ma-ta-te.
Clickeen, que hace bien...
