Gee!Strange, judging by yr posts, it would seem that you are old enough to have had some familiarity with some of the similar comments made by members of several generations towards the pop music of younger generations. A fine tradition that goes back in pop music, oh, as long as there's been pop music, never mind all the wrath once incurred by jass.
Since I'm well aware that it's perfectly ludicrous to compare jazz to gangsta rap, I won't take the extreme view that any musical comparison is valid, or that there's something wrong with preferring the music of the past to that of the present. But, for Pete's sake, you sound like whoever condemned whatever it is that YOU like: make no mistake, whatever you like or liked, there was ALWAYS someone who was older who of course knew enough to conclude that whatever it was didn't even deserve to be called music.
Happens to a lot of folks who forget the sorts of things that were said about the pop music of THEIR youth by their own elders. But, who knows. Maybe you didn't forget...or, perhaps you simply weren't aware. Aw, heck, who cares what those fogies thought...besides, just because they had feet for ears doesn't mean the kids today know good music when they hear it, either. Hmmm?
> musicians who appear to lack knowledge of music theory
in addition to the rumor that most of younger "musicians" can't
even read or write sheet musicWell, since that happens to have been true of the Beatles, I guess that's all there is to music, then, isn't it. Individual response of the listener be damned, huh? But then you appear to knock Elvis as well...you sure do deserve credit for a nifty troll, that's for sure.
