The decline of music started with punk and acid rock and then deteriorated even more so with the advent of rap and hip hop which thoroughly gutterized music altogether and made such things as misogyny, drug abuse, alcoholism, murder and rape palatable to their audiences. Thank God we still have country music which I like although not the same way that I really enjoyed the classic country music artists such as Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette just to name a few.

The decline of music started with opera and then accelerated with such crap as Le Sacre du Printemps.

I’d rather listen to 2 minute song by The Ramones than a 20 minute self-indulgent by one of those early to mid 70’s artsy fartsy bands . Won’t mention any names . My flame suit it at the cleaners .
