Amy Winehouse spent the year trying to live up to the image of “Rehab.” Ring tones bleeped “Soljah Boy.” Emo continued to combine the musicianship of Blink 182 with the poetry of Journey. Avril Lavigne became a Japanese comic book. Nine Inch Nails sent fans on a scavenger hunt. Justice made us dance. American Idol stayed popular for some reason. Radiohead let you download their album. Madonna ditched record labels. Record labels sued fans. Fans stopped buying Cds. Cd stores went out of business. Britney Spears spent the year trying to live up to the image of “Rehab.” What a year.
