I know, I know, I’m starting to sound like my parents when it comes to complaining about the state of modern music these days. I mean, doesn’t every generation throw a hero up the pop charts, as my friend Paul Simon used to say? But then again, doesn’t every generation have a bunch of parents ready to douse the current set of music artists, and burn them in effigy? OK, that may be a little harsh, but there is a certain set of justice to it. Lady Gaga, is one that at first I would have put into this category. She seemed to care about nothing but here persona in the media, the internet, and television. But, then I actually started liking some of her music and changed my mind. Funny how that works. All it needs is a good song hook in the chorus, and all of a sudden my viewpoint changes. I guess the music from our formative years will always seem better, because of how we associate with some very defining moments in our growth. Although, one good thing about getting older, is how I have a whole history of great songs to listen to, plus an occasional new one that sparks my interest.
