Well written and accurate.
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
I'm not a big Beato fan but he makes some good points at time. This is one of those times IMO. I know some of the younger generation will disagree with the whole premise. Being born in 1951 the boomer gen was hit with the same indictment about the new Rock & Roll music. There was some truth in it. But we didn't care because we liked R&R. I expect the same from some today who like today's music. but I think if you listen you may find some morsels which can be enlightening. This is especially true for musicians who may find they agree wholeheartedly..

In the past, A real talent may appear in a town, near you! He/She may cut a record and really make it big. Some may make a living. Today, a real talent may appear in a room near you! He/She may cut a record after school and not make big at all. Of the lucky to go on and publish and release music. 10,000 will fail even when they may have oozes of talent. It just aint fair. A and R men (remember how we hated them?) Just don't visit bedrooms! |
I was around when the Beatles happened, and remember being stunned when a new album arrived...especially the Rubber Soul/Revolver era. I recall well how utterly lame any other "pop" band was at that time, except for soul music and a few exceptions. No comparison to the Beatles...none. Now I'm 99% jazz, especially piano trios, and that keeps me happy...happy happy happy. |
