Has anyone else noticed that we are seriously going back to the 70's?
At the gym, in the mall, I'm hearing more funk-a-delic bump'n the hips,
staying alive, thriller beats than I'd care to hear ... AGAIN! So, this begs
the question - is the replay because every thirty years or so we decide
what is old is new? I will not go back to the powder blue leisure suit
and I did own platform shoes - both not to be revisited!!!
I have to ask; do we go back to the "bad old music" when we hit
the "bad old times?" Is it better in the hips to grind the horizontal or
should we hold out for the higher life? Pink Floyd, Steely Dan ...
Eagles or Casey and The Sunshine Band, BEE GEES, Linda Rhondstat?
The only good thing about the 70's was it led to the 80's and we climbed
out of the dismal decades of glitter and no substance ... but we never had
such fun music, now did we? And music got, unfortunately more bland.
The 90's' progromed rock and fed it to ClearChannel Communications;
Where would Peter Gabriel, Genisis (when he was still in the band), Frank
Zappa be slotted now? And man I miss the off the main stream beats of
Talking Heads (yes I listened before they were classic rock), Violent Femmes,
Adam Ant, Black Flag ...
Whatever you do, Ricky, Don't Loose That Number!
