|    Why Is It?    |

      From: machete@home.com              that today's generation really can't seem to appreciate the great music of       bands like Steely Dan? I mean, the shit that is out today is so bad that       it's difficult not to get sick listening to it. After all, music is art and       art never really dies. A painting by some unknown artist might not really       be recognized until years after it's painted. I'm thinking that a lot of       70's bands like Steely (who had tons of talent) will come back in style for       the younger generation at some point.              I was actually born in 1971, so it's not like a went to see Steely in their       prime, or grew up with their music, although I certainly remember songs like       Peg and Josie getting air play. However, as I matured into my teens I       realized that 80's music sucked (for the most part-with some exceptions) and       I started listening to 60's and 70's rock. Steely was a bit soft for me       initially, but then I heard songs like Showbiz Kids and I realized that       these guys were good, they had a sense of humor, they were intelligent and       had some excellent musicians. Oh well, it's a shame. I bought the Aja cd       and fell in love with their music right away.              Thanks for letting me bitch and moan about today's kids and the disgusting       music that gets played on radio today. Even the classic rock stations will       only play about 3 songs by Steely Dan, don't really need to tell you what       those are....                            ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet       News==----       http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+       Newsgroups       ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
