Sinister: baby boomers, the future, only mentions b&s at the end
hello - i have only posted once before and that was under a different e-mail address and it was a while ago - but - i attended 2 family christmas parties today and the same subject kept popping up: how the sixties were so great and doesn't it suck to be young nowadays what with no elvis no beatles no woodstock? here is what i would like to tell my relations: NO!!!! the only reason you think the 60s were so great is because you were young, and you can't fool me, there was more pat boone than john lennon in your collection - born after ww2 does not mean you invented sex drugs and rock and roll - they have always been there, waiting for the young to find them - people had sex, got high and self-destructed gloriously before the doors, just ask byron - i am not under the delusion that my generation invented revolution either, you could say that the maenads were the original riot grrls so when is the best period in music? as a music lover and sometime optimist - i have to say THE FUTURE - the history of recorded music is so brief compared to the history of music, how old is recorded music? a little over 100 years? what would edison think about nirvana? belle and sebastian, blur, the smiths - those may be the bands that made me fall in love, dance, cry, they may be the soundtrack to my memories - but i think the best music is the sound that's still out there - waiting to be made... cheers, veronica Sailor V - fighting for love, justice and quality pop +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
