«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato

Are folks here too dumb to use ChatGPT ourselves if we wanted to?

?

Whats your point ?

@mapman , +1 on The Bird's The Word.  I had that very same thought when I was recently watching a rerun of Full Metal Jacket on Flix.  An example of yester-year's lyrics that were not extremely good.

I would confess not all that much. But in a way that makes my point. During the 60s and 70s you didn’t have to search high and low or put a great deal of effort into finding great songs. In fact, it was hard to miss them. All you had to do was turn on your radio (yes, we listened to the radio back then) and you couldn’t avoid hearing great songs.

Sure, I remember those days. But keep in mind that back then, record companies were largely run by people who were willing to take on a much broader variety of artists. [. . .]

@stuartk , I would agree with probably everything you typed in that post. However, I would point out that you should have addressed that post/reply to @ezwind instead of me. Not that I took offense or anything, just that the post that you were responding to was made by @ezwind .

As for me, in the mid ’90s I was introduced to a public radio station, 91.3 WYEP, that totally transformed my appreciation of music. And although I do not listen to the radio much anymore, what I have heard when I do listen makes me tfeel that there are still good artists writing lyrics in the 21st century.

Apologies for the confusion, my comment was not directed at your post.
