People care because we, as the human race, have a vested cultural interest in making sure that we have only people with talent performing music. Talent can be developed, those without it are simply not interested in developing it (or too lazy).
You know, just because you don't give a flying bleep about a band does not mean that no one else has the right to. Popular music, like government, is something we all own, and must take responsibility for. We elect popular artists like we elect officials.
If you don't understand what I'm talking about, great, who cares. But don't just say stupid crap like people don't have the right to mention anything bad about your favorite band or whatever. It's like saying people can't attack Bush. That gets you labeled as a "fascist," why shouldn't what you people are saying?
