Rock music lost it's ability to affect change a long time ago, it's just another product now, just a form of entertainment!
I look forward to the day when the current ways of doing things, ie: 'the two year treadmill' of (record an album, market & promote on MTV etc, tour, then go away in preperation for the next round) is at an end!
RE: Hendrix etc.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience is what got me in to listening, playing and making music in a serious way.. I think the reason they are still popular is because they were 'that' good! To my ears nothing that is on the go these days comes anywhere near the creative, inspirational music that is held within those JHE albums. I could say this of so many albums from 'the golden' period.
I really hope that people dont listen to music because it's 'cool' if this is so, then I will feel sad and even more out of touch with the world.
The people who do this should be forced to drink a gallon of milk within 50 minutes!
Aaaaach, be gone!
