I don’t understand how this generation, with the entire musical universe a mouse-click away, seems so lost and clueless when it comes to finding good, substantial, meaningful, exciting rock (or other) music.
Music never gets better or worse; it is part of a continuum that goesback thousands of years. Radio and TV has gotten worse, thanks to the same handful of companiesowning all media outlets.
But for those who keep whining there’s no good music out there…you’re only busy missing it.
