Jazz for aficionados

I beleive that men should accept certain inalienable truths: ’prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old-- and when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders’...

...and that music, or film, or art in general, was better....

But, than, on the other hand....during the summer, I have the opportunity to meet many young folks from all over the world (last few years worked as a skipper on different boats) and these are not definitive conclusions, just thoughts as I would watch them having fun at holidays....

Perhaps the reason might be the postmornism time that we all live in, but I cant help to notice that there is almost complete lack of any individualism or personal taste in all senses, including one towards music, individual look or social presentation. Everyone are almost identical clones and the ’social’ media and its influence is so important and in the same time profoundly shallow and superficial.

I dont think that holidays are to blame for such picture. I know that in history of art 50 years (or more) is just a moment and that is very possible that some new generations might create bigger and more important works, but I do not see that coming very soon.
