'When the greatest art being made was also the most commercial'. That´s certainly rare in modern history. Beatles really changed music and some of the bands that came right after them (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc.) were awesome.

All I can say is...get his autobiography on audible or whatever. To hear him read his own words is just fantastic and it's a thoroughly enjoyable book. I wasn't sure who I wanted to see most on their current tour, Bruce or Stevie. Both brilliant.

I'm 71 grew up with rock and always loved the rebel/question authority aspect, felt it was important for society. I have to say it breaks my heart to see Springsteen, N Young, Joni, Dylan all doing and saying exactly the opposite of what Seeger, Guthrie, and our old-timey REAL heroes would be saying now. WTF happened, too rich, too much pure unadulterated echo chamber, what? It is so obvious our media, our schools, our gov't has been completely taken over gutted from the inside, and what do we hear from our rock and rollers we have lover forever? Crickets or even worse. Thankfully we have Sound of Freedom and Jason Aldean; but I guess bruce et al are busy counting their millions.

@bikersoncall Жыл бұрын

I'm not far behind you age wise lol, Pad. Interesting comment you have there, well here is how I see it. # I don't know, care, etc, anything about Jason, other than he is Country, todays Country , which was take over/coopted by pop, a several years ago. Jason's new song; 'Try that...' is a good song, a great song, and political on top, which is a rare combination, a song that actually works. Again, a good/great song. NONE of our heroes from the 80's, following the era, are / were able to write anything that measured up to their old level of writing, NONE... ZZ Top, came out with something recently , last year or two, it isn't even close to what Gibons was writing in the 70's 80's ... once again, it seems that NO ONE today can write anything really worthwhile compared to the music they gave us in the 80's ~. Lost City of Atlantis, like their soles were taken from them lol.
