'What's Wrong with American Idol?' Revisited

It's back. Season four of the hugely popular "reality" show is once again setting viewership records. I admit it's great fun to watch, but what worries me is the misguided impression the show gives the public (including aspiring artists) about the modern "realities" of pursuing a music career.



Last spring, midway through season three, I launched a personal campaign to set the record straight. Next week I will post an updated "What's Wrong with American Idol?" manifesto. In the meantime, you might enjoy hearing this radio interview I did last year with Bill Reker on KMOX (1120 AM) in St. Louis.



Check back next week for my list of American Idol myths.
