Hi Fans, Sorry to jump in... As I'm not living in USA, I didn't read this Forum. And I was wrong : Ebenezer and Fox had a very interesting discussion.
Quote | Older (30+) people have more money than kids but are more discriminative with respect to how they spend. Kids, on the other hand, will buy whatever is hot today and change to whatever is hot tomorrow (yeah, we were probably the same way). But, the kids today are different. In the 80s we expected more from the artists with respect to music and lyrics (yeah, I'm sounding old), but today's music doesn't have any of that |
And Rosko point it : if it's the same in Australia, we've got the same problem in France, and the Whole World too( ). We will have only 3 or 4 Major looking for fast money ('the lowest common denominator') and not for creativity. A way to fight this fact and promote diversity may be "web, mp3 and auto-production". But what about smaller countries that don't have acces to technologies ?
Sorry again, this is off the topic, but i'm very pleased to read something like you wrote, specially coming from USA, where they often have this attitude that Fox notice (basicly "usa is the navel of the world"... this is not an offense, this is my observation, and I never said that everybody were like that...)! Bravo !
And Fox, I think you point another interesting thing that may interest every fan, wherever he lives : Quote | It's so difficult to answer someone's question, "What kind of music do you listen to?" |
I've got the same problem in France, and I often have to explain the whole thing, who is Mike Oldfield, wich album they are listening to, why is it only instrumental, what is a tubular bell, and why there's morse code in, what was his relationship with Virgin etc... They often think I and MO are crazy !
That was my "Of Mike Oldfield, Socialization and Society" bracket!
GMOVJ and please forgive my poor english
