Oh dear,"classically trained rock geniuses" is an oxymoron. Their music will DISAPPEAR. I used to listen to all that crap when I was in my teens and twenties. And I LOVED it!
My father always listened to classical music. He learned it from HIS father. So I heard it all my life. I GREW UP in my thirties and discarded the rock and roll as it seemed puerile.
I likened it to a three-year-old banging on pots and pans with his spoon.
We don't see daily, regular and huge performances of the "rock and roll" music from the 1950's, 60, 70's etc. There just isn't the demand. Classical music is heard and performed daily.
The music from the USA and Europe from the early 1900's doesn't even exist anymore except in library books.
This planet STILL attends performances of the CLASSICAL composers, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Debussy, Haydn, Handel, Schubert, Wagner, Liszt, Verdi, Puccini, Schumann, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, Strauss, Dvorak, Berlioz, Vivaldi, Grieg,. Sibelius, Rossini, Saint-Seams. Bizet, Strauss II, Paganini...to name a few.
And the word is PLANET, not just the rock and roll of the USA and Europe. The famous tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, took opera to China, before China had ever heard "classically trained" tenors, etc., perform.
The Chinese LOVED him and now there are even a few Chinese opera singers. And it is WEIRD to SEE and listen to a Chinese basso, basso profundo, tenor or countertenor, performing the great operas.
By the time you are an old man, say 85, you will NOT hear your "classically trained" rock and rollers. You will hear NOTHING familiar but WILL prose on and on to the younger generation about the music YOU remember.
MEANWHILE, the famous composers of the 17th - 19th century will STILL be listened to AND performed ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I'm not sad for your lack of musical education. It is the NORM in this country. You are a product of your public school education. THIS country has never produced a MOZART and it never will. And that's okay.
However, THIS COUNTRY WENT TO THE MOON! THAT is an achievement that NO other country has done.
Google: The United States is the only country to have ever put people on the moon. However, Russia (the USSR), Japan, China, the European Space Agency, and India have all made visits to the moon via probes. Only 12 people have ever walked on the moon.
Bye-bye, blu
