“The devotion to Skynyrd is borderline DSM-5.”
My biggest problem with the current Skynyrd band is that all of their new music is a cheap imitation of the original.
At most a band has about 5 years of relevance before they become a nostalgia act. Most of these bands had about 3-4 great albums with the rest being meh, but that’s what they live on.
That’s pretty much all these bands... (really any band really)...
Studies show most artist have a peak creativity/shelf life of about 7 years...
Some, like Billy Joel, for instance become self aware, and stop making new music, but still perform.
Others continue to try to keep releasing albums to ever decreasing sales...
And a Few, a very very few, actually find ways to keep making music that connects with an audience for decades.
