$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ralfy', 'N')ormally, one will look forward to the commercial pop music of his youth. The challenge is to go beyond that in terms of both time and place.
You would think so, Ralfy.
I was delighted, for example, when Pink Floyd (I grew up in the 70's) continued to evolve and came out with some great mellow post-druggie music in the '80's and '90's.
To hear the ranting of the pro hard rock and druggie music crowd, you'd have thought they were child molesters or grandmother rapers or folks of that ilk. Rather disappointing, such narrow-mindedness, IMO.
Along those lines, it is interesting sometimes to listen to music you haven't heard for decades. It can have completely different meanings, or the obvious meaning suddenly dawns, when it went over your head when you were a kid.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
