We are always cool Jim

I say to everybody don't worry about it especially if it has no affect on you.
If somebody here was 20 and an artist on the verge of a major record deal. Than I would say okay.... but even then you'd be too busy being 20 and on the verge lol

Mike D explained in detail the historic nature of the game and the listeners.
I feel pop music has always been "pop music" only that GREAT stuff used to be VERY popular in the past. That has been filtered out. Never mind The beatles,zeppelin,floyd,stones,the who
If there are such greats equaled to the Bee Gees, The Eagles, Elton, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago (ALL POP STARS) out there than the industry has decided to keep them OFF the radio and TV.

I don't believe they are out there even on the internet. You show me a group that has songs catchier than Chicago's and plays as well and even half as many,as they do anywhere on the internet, and I will see it, acknowledge it and buy it in a heart beat lol..

Ever watch The Last Waltz?

Oh it's a real beauty contest. Dylan, Neil Young, Joni, The Banned etc.... Before MTV you sat next to radio, couldn't see a damn thing, only used your EARS for music. Now turn on the radio.. Your eyes have become your ears... very common habit humans have

Last words on this subject

1-Let the kids have there fun and THERE music.

2- You want great? than be it yourself that should keep us busy enough.

3- "I can't truly diminish things I can't do" even if something is less than good or even crap (technically) Well if it is so beneath us then what's stopping us from doing the same thing and getting a HIT song finally??? Making loads of money so we can sing & play ANYTHING we want regardless of the biz...

4- Try to find and see the positives in most things first, you'll learn more that way. Only don't ignore the negatives and such... You need both, it's balance, learn from that as well. It's safer & smarter. Much of one is hidden in the other.

5- No matter what it is try to put all your energy, passion,love and focus on who and what you love most. It's all that really matters.

Did I mention - "I love this place"
