I’ve been a fan of recorded music – 78s, 45s, LPs, tapes, CDs – since the 60s, and I still like much of what I liked then. A lot of the late 50s-early 60s stuff sounds a little junior high now, but on the other hand it sounds a lot like some of the current Brittany, etc. stuff. The 50s and early 60s did turn out stuff that sounds contemporary today – Supremes, Platters. I listen to a lot of Fleetwood Mac, Anne Murray, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Allison Crouse, Beatles, Foreigner, George Strait – it is all “comfortable” music for me. If I neglect any generation, it is rap – I think some of it is good poetry, but music requires more than a beat, I think. Always something good in each cycle – “I’m Like a Bird.” And what is it with Dylan and Barry Manilow coming back? Are these the end times we’ve heard so much about?

maybe we can get Creed to do some sort of ’80’s metal ballad with a great heart felt and piercing solo ala The Scorpians or other favorite hair band. maybe. we can only hope. yes.

did this person just dare to defile the name of mr. bob dylan by mentioning it in the same sentence as barry manilow?

here let me help you out:

bob dylan:
“you must leave now take what you need you think will last.
but whatever you wish to keep you’d better grab it fast.”

barry manilow:
“i’m stuck on band-aids cause band-aids stuck on me”

are we clear now?

good.
