“50 years is long enough. Let the tired, old, sleepy, hippie smoldering crap finally go out.”

Those of us who equate these songs to memories, and
specific points in time will never relinquish. 65 years
for me is not enough, nor can it be. I met my wife of
47 years listening to this genre. And I ain’t an old
hippie. Disturbed did a remake of “Sound of Silence”
that has almost 590,000,000 views on Youtube.

At some point in time, we’ll set aside the effin 1960’s.
S&G where wonderful, but . . .
David Bowie’s 1971 “Changes” launched more progress and innovation in music than the tired hippie singer/songwriter shiite.
Around the same time, Frank Zappa was redefining collaborations and the approach to “pop” music.
A short time later, Sid and the gang reinvented everything all over again, but the hippies kept groovin.
S&G played the Burnt Out Hippie Genre for decades, the Grateful Dead did it with better weed.
50 years is long enough. Let the tired, old, sleepy, hippie smoldering crap finally go out.
We mean it, man!

Dude, you’re harshing my mellow.
