While strolling around my local Target the other day something caught my attention, it was the Christmas music stand. So I saunter on over to give it a look, they had James Taylor’s Christmas album, the new Sarah Mclachlan, a compilation of great holiday songs, and there it was an Ali Lohan (little sister of Lindsay)album. After seeing this I was on the edge of a meltdown. Over the past few years I have noticed a little trend that has made me sick, the handing over of major label record deals to no talent actresses and actors and worse no talent siblings of actresses and actors. These actress / singer / model / fashion designer or Slashes as I call them are the dregs of the music industry. Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Hillary Duff, Haylie Duff, Jesse McCartney, and now Ali Lohan are taking the place of a well deserving artist that only want to make music. When asked about their decision to dive into the music business they all seem to give the same answer “Its just something I have always wanted to do, its a dream come true.” But in fact its just another pay check. Hillary, Jesse, and Lindsay please just go back to acting. As for Ali, Haylie, Paris, and Ashlee, just go back to sponging off your family. The less we see and hear from you the better. To sum up my feelings on this subject I would like to quote the crowd of the 2005 Orange Bowl after Ashlee Simpson preformed, “BOOOOOOOOOO!”.

It's all marketing. Siblings have the same name and it's the name that sells. They don't have to be any good as long as they generate profits for the record companies. THis isn't music, it's product. Once you accept that it's easier to ignore.

Now I just need to hope my sister gets famous so I can mooch off of her success...
