Oh, please. There’s a lot of brilliant music being written...you just have to know where to look.

Why 1972? Seems a little suspect that it is before Blood on the Tracks came out for starters, and ignores the tremendous amount of great music that has come out since.

No, it was the introduction of that damn gramaphone. Used to be you could sit in the town square and listen to the oompah band and have a beer without any damn kids interfering. Then it all went to hell.

Woodstock killed music as entertainment. It became big business as the lemmings generation came of age.

Bill Graham stopped booking 2 shows a night at the Fillmores and started shooting for the kinds of bands that could sell out a 24,000 seat sports arena.
