I keep trying to remember to post something here. My goal was to do it at least once every two days… Maybe I’ll have to settle for once a week.
I’ve discovered something — Nobody likes good music anymore. I want to live in the 60s, when music really meant something. Radiohead, Nirvana, yeah, they’re fucking awesome and their music really had a lot of meaning. But… They’re unfortunately not anywhere as wide-spread as they deserve to be. Our superstars in the music world are Miley-Fucking-Cyrus, hellspawn of the Demon Billy-Ray. Our rock stars are the likes of Chad Kroeger and Kid Goddamn Rock. Our jazz musicians are — wait, what? Jazz isn’t played anymore? Oh.
I wonder if they knew back in 1968 that this was as good as it was ever going to get for music with a message.
