You have selective memory.
To protect itself, your mind has tried to cordon off a great deal of the sixties, seventies, and eighties music.

Ring a bell?

Unfortunately I could post songs just as awful all night.
And do not get me started on seventies country.

Just thank God for the mercy he has shown you in allowing you to forget.

You have selective memory.

I do not deny that bad music has always been with us. There was crap in the 50s, 60s, 70s and on and on. I get that.

For every Fabian there is a Justin Bieber.
For every Britney Spears there is a -- I don't know who.

But here -- Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, or Pink Floyd -- give me some pop stars today who are at that level.

There is always crap in every time period. That isn't the point.
There is not always Quality. We used to have that, and it used to be easy to find. That is no longer the case.

Selective memory has nothing to do with it.

That Big Chuck and Little John clip is great. Back in the days when there was local television (everyone today is harping about the end of local newspapers and local radio but local television programming fell off first).

BC&LJ would create such gags to insert in the old movie they hosted every week (often by American International or Arthur Rank but other studios’ films could find their way into the stack as well).

I don’t think Jimmy Castor took himself very seriously (as Madonna and Lady Gaga DO, entering themselves into discussions of world politics and public policy as they do).
