Last night I finally got to see a musical hero of my adolescence in concert, Carman! It was a great time and Carman looked and sounded wonderful. However I don't know if I should have felt out of place with the 50+ aged crowd surrounding me? Come to think of it, I am not that far off....oh well!
Music in general has certainly changed over the years. I won't pretend to tell you that the newer music currently playing on most radio stations, i pods, or other devices holds the same level of depth or "realness" that the music I grew up with (80's and early 90's), because I just can't believe that. Sure, it is just my opinion, but I just cannot get into music that has lost its...????? - in my humble opinion. Now, before I paint myself into a proverbial corner from which I cannot get out, I must admit that there are certain songs and certain artists in today's music that make me think, make me feel, make me move, and bring me back to a different time. For the most part however, I just feel like there is something missing in today's music - something that resembles....a musical soul.
In an age of lightning fast social media and instant gratification, some things should and need to take their time to settle into one's mind and soul...in my humble opinion.
Am I just getting older? Let me know.. and please turn that music down!
