You mean you don't like Taylor, Beyonce or Lady Gaga (heavy sarcasm). Most of today's music including so-called country is pure unadulterated garbage. I stopped by the desk of a young engineer in our office and he was listening to some crap on Spotify. I mentioned to him he might want to list to Live at the Fillmore by the Allman Brothers. He came to my office the next day and told me he was blown away by it.

Superb musicians. I think today’s kids wanna play other people’s music instead of making their own. That’s why everything sounds the same .

There are many forms/styles of blues, and they are all interesting, (some you and I might not agree on). Influences from the early black blues men were what got me introduced to the "white boy blues" in the mid 60's. I was then able to backtrack to the roots of the music, and appreciate the origins. Never cared for "pop" or top 40 music, instead listening to the B side of 45's as a kid.

is it?

Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there are no
Rich no more

This line actually challenges the idea of taxing the rich to feed the poor. Doing so until there are no rich would be pointless, eliminating the good without fixing the bad. The poor would still be hungry, and there’d be nobody left to feed them.

Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?

Even worse today.

The Meaning Behind The Song: I'd Love To Change The World by Ten Years After - Old Time Music

Title: Unpacking the Message behind Ten Years After’s I’d Love to Change the World Introduction: A Timeless Classic The song “I’d Love to Change the World” by Ten Years After has stood the test of time as a classic rock anthem. It was released in 1971 as part of their album “A Space in Time.” …

I heard Alvin Lee on the didio a long time ago living in Alaska. King Biscuit Power Hour. (that was the highlight of my weekly electronic entertainment, we only got one TV channel {RATNET-Rural Alaska Television Network} and that one was intermittent) 100% socialist and hippie activist. He discussed how his view of the world would have everyone on an even keel. Same housing, same meals, communal type living with specialist doing their thing and everyone sharing. You can fix tires all day because someone else is making bread from wheat grown by someone else. Communist.

It is still out there, but you really have to look for it. I think it is one good thing about the internet, it gives these people that the big record companies will not give the time of day to.

Check out Don's Tunes on youtube, it is a channel. Pretty good stuff mixed up in there, all blues and jazz.

This is my go to reloading music, I listen to it quite a bit. When working in the shop it is usually old country, or "vintage" rock, but the stuff you don't hear, the "B" sides with a "hit" tossed in there now and again.



Roughly 20 years ago I went in for some surgery to try to make my left arm work again. While sitting in the hospital and bored out of my mind I came across this guy. Looked like he was having fun and decided I would like to try to learn the guitar. I still can't play but I do pick at it. I am one of those people that can play notes, but it is not music. Go figure this song is about the guys ex.



There is still good music still being made, but it is not what is pushed on us. I have not turned on a radio in roughly 10 years.



I don't think there is a type of music I don't like BUT rap. I just can't stand modern rap.

One of my favorite Hank Jr clips. Have you checked out the other clips from that recording? Kris Kristifferson does Sunday Morning Coming Down, Faron Young does Hello Walls, I'm blanking on the others. The amount of talent in that room is staggering!

Kris wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down" but he was afraid to record it, at first because of the line "Lord, wishing I was stoned."

Johnny Cash said he would sing it and then it became a thing. Long time ago, stoned was a euphemism for being drunk.
 




They are still around, saw them about 4 years ago at a blues club in my area. As far as I know Dave Gonzales still works for Guild Guitars as his day job.
