"life was so wonderful"
I’ll give it a try. Funny story. My friends and I hopped a fence after an awesome Tool concert in Honolulu. We met Justin and Danny. They were so cool. Some other people told us what hotel they were staying at. So we went with our Tool CDs and actually met Justin and Danny again they were so cool. Danny would only sign with a purple pen. My friend had a blue sharpie and he made a compromise. We saw Maynard in the lobby of the hotel holding a parrot and he was with his wife. He saw us and knew we were after him. He told us “next time guys”. We respected his privacy. That’s was when we were 15, 20 years ago.

Dude. Thanks so much. It is available on Apple Music. Downloading now.
You mean how avatar is just the plot of “Fern Gully” with better graphics and no singing?
Eat the elephant was so great. I really loved it. Took awhile to grow on me but those are always the best albums.
Mr Pau Hana. I hope you can see the opihi picker under my name. If you know Hawaii, you know opihi and the Opihi PickersI hit 40 this year and I find it hilarious that 80s and 90s music is now playing on our local oldies radio station. I'm lucky to love most genres of music... Rock, alternative, EDM, hip hop, country, jazz, classical, R&B, pop, etc. You get the point. (Sorry metal heads... Other than Metallica, not really into metal).
I would argue that rock and alternative have been on the decline since they peaked in the 90s. Hip hop was then all the rage in the 2000s. In the 2010s, pop, hip hop/R&B hybrid and EDM took the center stage. However other bands in the rock and alternative continued to put out music... Just not at the quantity we saw in the 90s.
I don't think music is dying... It's just continuing its evolution. This conversation has occurred throughout history. I've read historical accounts of people arguing that music died when classical music died.
We're just getting older... And for some of us, we love listening to what we grew up listened to when we were younger and new music doesn't appeal to us. And that's totally okay, there is something totally comforting in listening to something that brings a bit of nostalgia.
There are some people who are having the same discussion about movies and argue that they are on the decline because of CGI.
Hanging at FOH or working?Couldn't agree more
That’s what brought me to this conundrum. I’m either directed to older music or horrible new stuff. I’ve conceded: I’m old.
