Hope you enjoy. ”Midnight Confessions”
music *ping*
One of my favorite bands from the sixties. I was in high school when they came on the scene. I especially liked their song “Bella Linda.”
Do people on FR listen to any music recorded after 1975?
Oh sure...we all luvs us illiterate gangsta rap played on our six 3000 watt woofers wid duh bass cranked to eleben on de slow cruz to da church weah we be twerking ourselfs cross da parkin lots, wearin de tree piece suit wid de trousers down low. Cept doan wanna be advertizing de facks.
The guitarist is Creed from “The Office”.
That’s wild.
You mean like Linkin Park? Limp Bizkit? Lil Uzi Vert? ASAP Rocky?
I like music, not shouting about ho’s, drugs and violence.
One of my criterion is whether the `artist’ can spell his own name.
Another good choice. Loved the Grass Roots.
Why would we?
Most of the music I listen to was recorded between 1925, when electrical recording replaced acoustic recording, and 1965, after which popular music became increasingly unlistenable.
On my Youtube channel, my 1920s playlist has 81 recordings. The 1930's list has 82, the 1940s list 30, the 1950s list 87, the 1960s list 61 and the 1970s list nine. There are no song lists for subsequent decades.
I only know a handful of songs from the '80s and '90s, and I doubt that I could even name one hit song from the 21st century.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is that sometimes on FR we sound like a bunch of sour old fogeys who see nothing positive in the present times.
And why would younger folks want to listen to us if we do?
“sometimes on FR we sound like a bunch of sour old fogeys”
Point well taken, I suppose, but speak for yourself. I’m a cranky old curmudgeon.
I saw oldsters in the `70s and `80s try to curry favor with the younger generation by using young peoples’ patois/vernacular, listening to our music and wearing our fashions.
There was nothing as ridiculous (thought my class, judging from the snickering) as my 60+ year old political science professor showing up the first day in a Mao jacket, hair fashionably long and asking us if we thought a particular rock group was `far-out’.
mu·sic n.
1. The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
My regular Army Dad liked John Phillip Sousa and country-western. They were music, but not my cup of tea at the time.
I would have been alarmed if had wanted to borrow my music, but when he spoke and I listened.
Why? R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what that means to me, yeah, sock it to me sock it to me ....

Well, sure. My wife plays one of those “today’s pop” stations. Of course, she isn’t a Freeper, and I don’t really listen to it. But sometimes I’ll wake up in the morning with that “shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off” song in my head.
