Lightning Bolt- Jake Bugg

Sounds Like: Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Oasis (solely based on his voice)

I hate to admit this, but this kid is 19. Yeah. Is that making you reflect on your life and the lack of things that you've accomplished? Me too. In fact, it almost makes me feel worse than when I think about the fact that, by my age, Sidney Crosby had a Stanley Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal. (ugh. pass the wine...)

It drives me crazy that Justin Bieber is more famous than this guy. Here are the reasons why I think Jake Bugg is infinitely better than Justin Bieber:
  1. He is musical. Don't tell me that Bieber plays drums- so what? Is he famous for his drumming? I think not.
  2. He writes his own music. 
  3. He has phenomenal taste in music. Who are his influences?  The Beatles, Layne Staley, Johnny Cash, Donovan, The Everly Brothers and Jimi Hendrix. Bieber's influences? MJ, Usher, JT, ect. Not bad, but not great.
  4. He doesn't sing over-produced, under-whelming, sickeningly catchy pop music.
  5. He doesn't have an army of "Beliebers." WHAT ARE YOU BELIEBING IN? HE'S ALREADY FAMOUS.
  6. If he ever developed a fan base similar to Bieber's, they could be called "Buggers." Hilarious on so many levels.
