Exactly. This year alone I’ve discovered more great popular music than during any other previous time. All through the Internet, all relatively obscure artists of the Americana genre. Only one band of them is breaking through big. Others find their audiences in small clubs, at festivals, in local markets, and in Europe and Australia. In previous decades, one followed musical mediocrities only because his friends followed the same mediocrities. Is it still the same? I hope not.

Ike Turner and Juice Newton, just to name a few more who are dead, dead, dead.

Someone please tell Juice Newton that she's dead. She'll be performing next month in Alto, NM.

What has happened though, is that Record companies have lost control of the distribution of music.
With that loss, they lost the ability to shoehorn music listening into a few hundred major acts.

Music has fragmented, and diversified.


Very well put.

Other than dropping the ball on the apparently alive and well Juice Newton, your whole post cracked me up.

While we’re at it we shouldn’t neglect to mention Earl Scruggs, who’s moved away from here.

Both Robin and his twin, Maurice died of problems with their intestines....coincidence?

Maybe singing falsetto all the time puts too much groin pressure up there.

RIP to the disco kings and queens.
