Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
Your earliest experience with recorded sound shapes your future preferences.  I have no proof but it makes sense. Your hearing is "burned in" so to speak and thereby directs the average person in his audiophile journey. Alas, time does march on an... 
Feets Don’t Fail Me Now
I wear a mask while driving as no one can see me singing Opera or Journey.   
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
Garcia played a few Lefty tunes in his day. The acoustic folk country was part and parcel of the psychodelic scene in SanFran of the 60"s. Even the Stones got into the act with Factory Girl and Prodigal Son a little bit later  Another outstanding...

Bluegrass owes much to its Scotch-Irish roots.  Jigs and Reels and Shanties. Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Rodgers, Maybel Carter, Woody Guthrie. (does rap owe a connection to his protest music?) All American shoulders from...

Saw Jorma Kaukonen last night with Dave Bromberg. Excellent "country blues" . Check out Jimmy Rodgers for understanding of true country. Merle Haggard did a tremendous album of his music btw. Bluegrass does not have drums. Alabama and Garrh Brook...

50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
But tastes change. Important to continue to give it a listen from time to time.  Dylan could be considered the father of rap if you like. Right now listening to I Want to Dance with You...Prine meets Strait. All sorts of cross-pollination going o... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@anotherbob Your original post was a simplistic attempt to stereotype and to childishly "trigger." How much drug money fueled rock and roll? How much drug money fuels the nightly news? How much alcohol money fuels college football? If not an in... 
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
Someone above said they were always political. I would counter that most great rock n roll is inherently political.  But please please don't go have the rails. Grab your wife's Ambien.   
It was 61 years ago today...
