The ONLY music that was decent was the music that I* grew up with.

I remember when that song came out and all the discussion about what it meant. it went on for a long time before people reached a consensus.
Today’s music is simply “bitching to beat”.
Fair enough.
music isn’t played today, it is programmed loops overlaid.
and because of spotify payouts (streaming is 82% of all money in music today), songs are getting shorter.
The corporations are now using AI to create songs.
it’s all hollow product
>>This is likely because you won’t get off yer azz and check out music right down the street
isn’t on charts
isn’t in press
isn’t on tv
isn’t a household name
it doesn’t have cultural impact anymore
>>The thing about music is that most of it is trash when it is modern. As time passes, however, the good stuff stays around and the rest is forgotten.
when is this going away already?

I’m with you on that. I think Vincent is his best work.
You are so right.
Country music is the absolute best it has ever been

Hogwash
There were thousand of hometown challengers to Elvis in the 50s, the Ventures in the 60s, and the Beatles/Stones, challengers to Motown and Atlantic and Stax too.
so much of a music explosion back then that is still being (re)discovered by people digging in crates and tape vaults.
And bands in the 60s and 70s could get several hundred or playing a local gig. Good luck getting that adjusted or inflation on the local bar scene these days.
bandcamp puts compositions in the marketplace without fuss, that’s all that is different.
instrument sales aren’t what they once were.
I just fell into Bishop Briggs. Surprised no one has heard of her.
Bkmk
Yeah, there is some great music out there. But, you have to dig for it like never before.
The radio waves are filled with repetitious, meaningless, soon-to-be-forgotten bilge. In years past, the bilge made only sporadic appearances and was drowned out by excellent music.
Nowadays, it’s the reverse.
I used to sell and deliver “Grit” newspaper, which puts a date on me.
Whenever I hear of Don McLean I think of the front-page story about his walking off a concert stage somewhere because he was so damned sick of the song, and it was all audiences wanted to hear.
I was agin Mr. McLean on that occasion, but fully with him now.
Odd the slivers of time that remain with us, for whatever reason.
I subscribe to Grit. It’s a bi-monthly glossy magazine these days. IMO it has retained some of its rural appeal as it reaches out to do - it - yourself urban farmers. But it is not politicized in any way.
