I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's

Us Baby boomers were grateful to have experienced the best era for rock/soul/pop/jazz/funk from 1964 thru 1974. We were there at the right age. Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Hi Records and then look at the talent we had. The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, James Brown, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery,  T Rex etc. Such an amazing creative explosion in music, nothing can beat that era.

I feel bad for the younger crowd Generation X and Millennials who missed it and parents playing their records for you it isn't the same experience, seeing these artists live years after their prime also isn't the same.

Imho....as usual.... ;) .....

It’s because ’we’, our ’era’ ( or ’error’, if mispronounced...😏...), has stopped listening to anything other than what they grew up with or is familiar with....

There’s still terrific music ’out here’.

Get off your collective tushes, and go wander around.

"Turn off the TV"

Go out.  Frequently.  Hear live music in your community.  Old musicians, young ones, male, female, undeclared, unknown, famous, folk, rock, jazz, bluegrass, blues, soul, funk, hip hop, classical.  There is great music all around.  You just have to listen.

I think our Grand Parents said the same thing when they were our age about us missing out on great music. Most of what I listen to is Not new music.....
