«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato

I am not a musician. I trust musicians more than myself to speak about music in general especially popular music which i cannot enjoy since the Bob Dylan and Beatles era.

I post this because i am curious to read others opinion and i like Rick Beato anyway ..

.

My dear friend i disagree with you here...

@mahgister

I’m going to disagree with your assertion that Beato knows better than you. ;o)

Rick Beato as frogman are better informed than me about jazz, popular music and probably all other genres..

i respected musicians very deeply...

Yummy Yummy Yummy….those were the days!

I just never could get enough of Alice Cooper's lyrics.

I’d be very interested to know which contemporary songwriters you’re comparing with those you listed from 60’s, 70’s.

To me lyrics have to speak to you.  Do you connect with what the song is saying.  I love the lyrics that spoke to me as a kid and I enjoy some new music including songs my kids listen to.  As an old guy I find I’m more open minded than when I was a young man and believed that my music was the best and any other music I didn’t like wasn’t as good.  This old dog is open to learning new tricks and listening to and enjoying new music.  Hey and while we’re on the subject, you kids stay off of my lawn!
