For more than 500 years music has been deteriorating from the likes of Gregorian Chant,through Mozart etc. to the amplified noise of today. It has generally been the result of the aftermath of a war or upheaval . The survivors take on a different verve and the music pace generally increases until today its become the amplified version of two cats fighting inside a garbage can. I liked the songs and sentiment from the 30’s and 40’s but that is just me. Some of that was pretty bad too but you could at least feel somewhat romantic or relaxed when listening to most of it. Can you imagine a 50 or 60 year old couple looking back on one of today’s gansta’ rap offerings as THEIR SONG?
Rock n roll’s been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died.
