imagine creaky voice: "Those kids today, they're not makin' music! It's just noise! Nuttin' like the things we did when I was a lad! Now, THAT was music, I tell ya!" Seems to me my gradparent's parents said that about Sinatra and Bing Crosby and Duke Ellington, my grandparent's generation said the same thing about the 50's rock icons my parent's listened to, my parent's generation said that about the late 60's/early 70's, my parents, grandparents and all the baby boomers say it about the music I grew up listening to in the 80's and 90's. Boy, I can't wait until I get old enough to act like my parents. I'm gonna start practicing the wagging index finger now. Gotta get me a rocking chair! I'll be sittin out on the porch with a bottle of scotch, wagging my finger at the youngsters, sayin with my ol' creaky voice: "You kids today don' KNOW from music. When I was your age, now we made some music! Nuthin' like this junk today!" With any luck, the kids will do the same thing kids have always done. Tell me to go to hell, do it their own way, and crank it up! kim At 05:58 PM 2/16/98 -0500, Reginald Hunt wrote: >At 01:38 PM 2/16/98 -0800, you wrote: >>> Fripp (and Sinatra) will be remembered long after Snoop Doggy Dogg, >Puff >> >>Fripp came from the same era that produced disco. >> >>Sinatra came from an era that produced a lot of forgettable music as >well. >> >>Cheers, >> >>Paolo Valladolid > >Ditto for Hendrix and James Brown.
