So I guess I'm old-school.<br /><br />I hated most music in '97, as it mostly seemed "American Idol," (the music industry had been reduced to 5 big companies) yet we dullards continued to play great music, appreciated by young and old. Mere popularity doesn't make you good.<br /><br />I still like Weather Report and Bonnie Raitt much more than Lady Gaga...<br /><br />Thank you for broaching this aspect of life and how we behave in response.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
