The day the music died. (page 3)

Yeah, movies too. The default, for me, is 'not good'.

Movie and music studios aren't looking for great sounds and great stories. They have corporate formulas.

Zero actors and singers too,

Fisherman

There are tons of famous songs and actors and singers that are known nationally and some internationally from the 1900s. Now, nothing.

My brother just took me to see coheed and Cambria. I highly recommend those guys. Singer writes a comic called the Amory wars. All but one album is based on those comics. Progressive rock, story driven, far from stale. If you want music recommendations message me and I'll send you a list. Movie wise? I think its all regurgitated ideas and they got nothing new

Yes, 'Hinky Dinky Parlay Vous' was the last song ever recorded in human history. In that glorious spring in gay Paris where I spent 1919 as a strapping young lad aged 20. And no one has ever gone into the field of acting since Clara Bow lit up the silver screen. Ah, what a dish.

That's when you know you've reached one of those "age" milestones, when you gripe that the old stuff was the best. I remember when I was young and we'd roll our eyes at the old folks telling us that today's music was garbage, not like the golden age of the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

Now I listen to 70s, 80s, and 90s music on YouTube, and I see comments about how today's music is garbage, not like the golden age of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and so on. And I keep catching myself about to nod, but I know it's inevitable. I just don't want to think that I'm that far along in the cycle...

100% that's why I studiously avoid such comments and trawl new music looking for something to love......which happens increasingly rarely and usually involves cover versions by new artists....very rarely as good as the original of course (woops I said it I'm officially OLD AHHHHH)🤣🤣😂

Apparently that's true for popular songs too. It's called the "millennial whoop" I believe?

Give me the Platters, the Righteous Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel and Roy Orbison. I mean, can you beat " Only You, Unchained Melody, The Sound of Silence, Bridge over Troubled Waters and Crying. Modern secular music I can't enjoy.
