[What I am listening to |America - Simon & Garfunkel]

I find it so weird that todays music is so streamlined and uninspired. I believe it was Lester Bangs who said something along the lines that "music, true music that lives in the vast senic wonders or when you're alone listening to your head phones.." I am beginning to like the gritty poppy sounding music of the garage rock/early punk bands of the 70's. And the music itself.. the words.. they were written by someone who didn't really care if they became famous.. they wanted to protest the Vietnam war. It was more about the value and the quality of the message and the music. Music now is just over-produced verbal garbage that spews from the mouths of popstars who have already made their millions. They are now are just jumping on the band-wagon of their latest cause. I feel so weird right now.. like constrasting with the current pop/rap/r&b culture. I am becoming more and more into 70's music. Eh.. oh well. If I am becoming a 70's junkie (mainly) so be it. Can't be all bad.
