If there's not another piece of music recorded for the rest of my life I won't feel cheated.
[All the music I’ll need for the rest of my life has already been recorded.Thousands and thousands of recordings...rock,pop,folk,country,instrumental,”easy listening”,classical.Music from the 50’s...60’s...70’s...80’s,etc.Even a few from *this* decade.]
You know, I never thought of it that way. Your right, the hell with lamentation and enjoy what is there already.
On my computer, I have 17,345 songs with a total playing time of 46 days 18 hours, 5 minutes. Everything from old blues, to big band, to 'classic' rock, to modern alternative. If I want to, I can pretty much spend all day listening to nothing but songs that are exactly 3:33 in length. There's still plenty of new music being produced, if you're willing to slog through dreck, you can find some groups that are really producing some fine stuff.
What ticks me off is that modern copyright law has pretty much done away with the concept of the public domain. By now, the vast majority of my music should be in the public domain. Dark Side of the Moon is 45 years old! The entirety of the Beatles catalog should be in the public domain by now. It's sad that we've let our government become the best that Disney's money can buy.
