It is indeed a scathing indictment of today's music scene to note
that of the traffic in this news group, fully 1/2 is argument about
the appropriate protocol for gossipping about a bunch of aging (aged?)
hippies, and the rest is more or less evenly divided between
debating the motives of today's Superstars for Third World Money
and reminiscing about a time when popular recording artists were
able to substitute quantity for quality by taking a simple little
tune and abusing it for 28 minutes.

Come on people, where are the *NEW TUNES*?  You know what I mean -
music that challenges the listener to discover and delight in subtle
nuances of sound and lyric.  Then again, maybe you don't know what
I mean.

Sigh.
