The era of big rock is over

We’re left with nostalgia tours

I’m fifty eight and have been watching nostalgia tours from the Stones and Skynyrd and Eagles Van Halen and Townsend Daltrey forever....but that’s nearing a conclusion too

My kids are depressed about music

There’s wigger culture music they despise....jugalow crap

There’s variations of distorted voice modern r and b

Country dirt road pop of which I like a handful....Miranda Lambert..

And then quasi rock spread all over where anyone can make a record and get on Raphsody cum Napster or maybe ITunes etc

I listen to say post 2000 music and very little impresses me....hard rock with drum accelerators or growl lyrics.....roots hipster music which is utter crap....worse than folk music

I shoulda seen that last Pink Floyd show I tell ya......

I like Jack White a bit....I drove by his house last nite....his sprinklers were on

Yup. I'm about your age. Everyone had better catch what they can WHILE they can. I dispense this sage advice to my son: "Before they're all gone, GO! They're droppin' like flies."

And he is. Fortunately I took him to see several 70s acts; He's into 80s. We all tend to forget that 30 years later, the 80s bands are *our* age, so from far away they may look ok. Up close and they look every bit of the 60+ year they are. The 60s-70s bands -- we're lucky to catch one healthy enough and intact.

Awfully weak compared to pre-1990. Which is why I find myself recycling the 60s-80s stuff that's fallen between the cracks. And there's plenty of it, fortunately.

Exactly why I've leaped into the Rock Wayback Machine. Don't know how Rap has survived. And WHY is it that practically ZERO male rock bands exist, but nearly every pop-artist is female, home-slice, or gay? Social engineering at work.

As well they should; But at least it sounds like you've pointed them in the right direction.
