But I digress.
There's no music business infra-structure anymore like there used to be to MAKE The Black Keys as huge (and impactful) as Zeppelin or The Who were. It's been dismantled, ensuring NO BAND will ever be as popular as U2 or Elton John were back in the day. And yes it makes me upset. LOL I hope to fuck The Black Keys (and others) prove me wrong cause I'm barely 40 and looking at the next 30+ years of life without another Led Zeppelin or AC/DC sucks balls man.
)Yeah I saw Cage The Elephant at a club in New York awhile back. LOL Good but cocky with little reason I thought. Man, maybe I AM getting old!!) |
due to the internet and other resources there is far more selection for music these days. back in the day there was 10-15 big bands and that was really it and people could only focus on those ones because they were the ones on the radio, in the magazines and in the stores and rock dominated the music scene. now there is so many different genres and so many different styles that people are far more spread out across the board. are rock stars dead? no but they're different and that's fine with me. it just makes people work a bit harder. i couldn't care less how popular a band or musician is, i only care about how good the music is.
