We live in a world dominated by celebrities who have done nothing but be celebrities, edia that feeds us n ones as if they are icons. So when someone who has achieved something dies in unusual circumstances you can bet the media will milk it for all it's worth.

It's no surprise to me these generations are kinda lost. They don't even know how to write well due to SMS.
I was a teenager during the 60s and experienced some of the best music of the 20th Century in the late 50s through to the 70s. Why was music so good in those days?

Here's a theory. When you can only afford one album a month we made sure it was good and can be listened to time and time again. Today anyone can download a new album for free every day. The demand for new is insatiable, the return on investment means very few bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, Beatles, Yes (and more) can spend a year in the studio to create anything worthwhile.
