I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.

The question and the responses just seem to prove that this is a venue for old men…..   Will this hobby survive when all the old men die off?

The earlier 'catagories' rattled off by some self appionted judge who would only claim "classical music" leaves important questions unanswered:  When the London Symphony Orchestra or the Frankfurt Ensemble or Pierre Boulet in Paris play Frank Zappa compositions along side Jimmy Carl Black what "kind" of music is it?  There are only 2 pure types, Good Music and Not Good Music, with many stops inbetween.  It's just like penguins in bondage, boys!

We're all "self appointed judges", aren't we? ;-)

Hate to be a bearer of bad news, but when we old Boomers die off, they'll be another generation of old guys right behind us. . . which means even you will be old, one day. 

 “ I Feel bad for Gen - X er’s “. It sounds more like “ I need to put you down, so I can feel good” . But you probably had to walk to school both ways uphill through the snow . I was Driving down Highway 99 last Thursday from Fresno to Kingsburg with a former member of Tower of Power . We spent the whole trip reminiscing about Bay music from the 60’s and 70’s . The only person we felt sad for was  Bruce Conte , as he recently passed away . But since I didn’t have a TT in my Denali  , I had to listen with my modified Bose system to some of that crappy Tidal/CD stuff . I remember buying gas at .26 per gallon , but I made $ 1.35 per hour. I think newer music like Collective Soul, Pink, and The Killers is pretty good . Happy sniveling , Mike B.
