No way around it , these new soda pop and crap (Rap) singers have nothing on the 60's 70's. These new control room adjusted talents just don't have the real thing most times.

While I will agree that new Rap is crap, I have to admit that I do enjoy some old-school (relative term I guess :lol: ) hip-hop. Dr. Dre is pretty dang cool.

For you young guys, buy the sticker anyway. Save it for 30 years and then put it on your axe. You will fell that way too.

Another part of the old guy rant is that when ever I go to a musical event (saw Richard Tthompson 2 weeks ago) I go to listen to the music. Many of the young folks are busy texting and not really paying attention. I actually felt it necessary to advise one young lady that if she didn't get her phone out of my face I would be forced to put it somewhere for her. The older crowds seem much more conscious of what is going on musically and appreciative of the performers.

Sorry for grumbling.

At least for that moment they're not piloting a 3000-lb "projectile" down a public thoroughfare with their faces buried in their Blackberries......

I've seen this to in the last couple of concerts...that folks are more attentive to their texting than to their listening! Every few minutes I could notice the glow of a phone screen and see a head bend downward to send a text.!
Very distracting. What is so important that can't wait till after a concert? Why spend money on a concert ticket if you don't want to enjoy it?

Flame off.

Yep, Phreddy, it happens to all of us, though I must admit that I've gotten into Mississippi hill country and other blues the last few years. My current favorites are North Mississippi Allstars (and Luther and Cody's other side projects,e.g. The Word, Hill Country Revue, Black Crowes), the Black Keys, Derek Trucks, Widepsread Panic, Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, Joe Bonamassa. There's always the old stuff I listen to and I discovered the Feelies in a record shop in Cleveland (Blue Arrow, great shop, great owner, Pete).

And of course, I love the music my son has written and played.

This is how I know I'm getting old. When I'm watching a good band, people piss me off when I see them doing this. Of course, my favorite kinds of concerts now are outdoors and I can sit back in a fold out chair and melt into my seat while watching a good band.

yea it's true....

back in the 60's i can remember my dad saying how many of the bands i liked were talentless, couldn't carry a tune, would never last, etc. i promised myself i wouldn't be that way.

over the last 20 years or so, i have fallen short. from hating air supply (chick music), to michael bolton (screaming). to backstreet boys,nkotb, and others of their ilk (more dancing moves than talent), i realized what has happened to me.

now with bieber,lady gaga, and a few others, i'm going off the deep end.

don't get me wrong- there's a fair amount of newer music i like, but dang it, i'm getting crusty.

anybody else suffering from this? any known cure?


I'm suffering from it but not because of my Dad. I was very lucky in having the parents God gave to me for many reasons one of which is that they where so not critical of whatever music my sisters, brother and I listened to that we grew to like all of it even my parents favorite artists. I wish sometimes that I could be more like them, understanding and supportive,
I will keep trying, I think they would want me to, so, in their memory I will keep trying.
