These Kids Today and Their Music!

Old lady rant:

WHY ARE BANJOS MAKING A COMEBACK WITH THE YOUNG MUSICIANS??????

Where is soul? Where are horns? Why must everything be played in the key of G????

WHAT HAPPENED TO MELODY??? There is no thought to song structure. Crappy hooks, usually auto-tuned to the max.

WHY IS "BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY" STUCK IN MY HEAD??? GET IT OUT!!!

I wonder if my musical journey has reached its end? I am not getting much pleasure, anymore, from listening to music - be it new or old. I am so annoyed by out-of-tune instruments, these days. Does everything suck or is it just me?

My frame of reference is a tiny town's musical offerings, I know. But, Taos is filled with artists and musicians. Many of them trained on the East or West coast.

I'll just say it right here - I am so sick of "Americana" music. Everybody in town wants to play it. UGH. I don't care. It doesn't move me in the slightest. Give me complex chords. Give me stirring vocals. Hire a keyboard player and some horns.

Must be the result of cutting music programs in school. I BLAME RONALD REAGAN!

Old lady rant over.
