The most popular song in the country right now is Beyonce and Slim Thug’s “Check On It,” a tune which defines the term “forgettable.” It has a pleasant enough groove, if you like music played by computers, but I can absolutely guarantee you that we won’t be listening to it (or have even a vague memory of it) a year from now. It’s corporate product intended to have as short a shelf life as possible, so it won’t interfere with the next assembly-line pop hit. (Wow, I sound cranky, don’t I?)
