it's a generational thing. old farts like me just don't get what the younger folk are listening to nowadays, and the younger set just doesn't get tommy dorsey.

I'm not very sophisticated musically. Mostly, I like simple music like punk rock.

I sure don't get it. But I question some of the negative attitudes promoted in some music.
Guess I am getting old before my years.

you and i both. but i have a decade and change over you so i am even more antique. i can understand the negative lyrics and angry sonics of much youthful music, and it is that way because the youth of today see the good times as being in the past, and they are mightily peeved over this fact.

Do they really believe it to be that bad. Is it really that bad for them. Or do they believe so because the music tends to premote this idea, creating a perception that things are worse than what they really are.


I'm getting right off topic here I know.

No. It's because we live in an age where earnest idealism is something to be mocked. Also, negative energy can seem more genuine and cathartic in a castrated emotion deprived world where all the feel-good music of the past has been appropriated by corporations trying to sell materialism.

I think music is surposed to make you feel good,.So much positive emotion can be conveyed in music, encouraging positive outcomes.

Nice.
I forgot to put down Herman's Hermits. They're kinda fun.

I bought a magazine today with a big article on The Kinks and a sampler CD dedicated to Ray Davies. I need to make some time to read it though.

I took a photo:

Count Basie is the closest to that era as far as my own taste goes.
