I see what you did there!
I am similar. I have my tastes but I really appreciate a good live performance. It is when you see a band come together and make some magic.
Will we ever see such musical greatness again? Or as one of my friends once put it are we too old to appreciate what currently passes for music?! Yeek, that's whole other subject!
!ENGAGE
Not long ago I talked about this subject with a good friend of mine. How we apparently tend to become more conservative the older we get. And as such we kind of get stuck in what we perceive as really original and the best in music.
So we wont be able to 'enjoy' what the younger generation feel like it is awesome. At least some scientific research seemed to have come to that conclusion.
It had us locked in silence for a while.
"So, you're telling me that those who are young now, one day, somewhere being in their golden ages, will get all happy about some 'bong bong tik tak dingelong dong' crap, as we are about 'Lakeshore Drive', 'Painkiller' or 'Bohemian Rapsody'... !?", My Mate asked in disbelief.
And while I shook my head I replied: "Of course not! That shait wont last. In time they will discover what real music is like. And that will last!"
Then we popped another cap and reminded ourselves again how we really had become the grumpy men we vowed we would never become.
Anyway: "Keep on rocking in the free world!" 🎸
We have the same chats. And if there is a beer or two whilst having them, all the better!
That's the good thing for them, they have such a back catalogue of greats to go through!
Well, beer often is involved during those chats. We even made a radio-show for that: 'Grumpy Men drinking beer so you do not have to.'
Then we thought the title of the show was way too long, so we just renamed it 'Grumpy men'.
Grumping, drinking and playing real music.
Anyhow quanking ahead here, it is still Friday, but I'm already calling it weekend.
Have a great one Mate!
I am calling it the weekend too mate!
I am already thinking of my evening beer.
Cheers to grumpy old men!
Cheers to Grumpy old men! 😁🍻
