    I am a music lover of many different genres, classical, pop, jazz, metal, and all in between. It occured to me that the generation that is coming up today has no clue as to what music means to the heart and soul. There was another post I read on a different forum that referenced a similar line of thought and I agree with it to an extent, but feel that what really is missing from music and from life is the passion to persue greatness.


    I concur with the post on the other forum that Audiofile quality is a dying artform that is being replaced by the mediocrity of mass market crap, and the acceptance of such garbage as being state-of-the-art.:eek:

    The bottom line is that we must find ways to open the minds of the younger generations to embrace the passion within them to not follow the path of least resistance and to persue excellence in all they do, and to accept nothing less that the same from others...;)

    Some of my kids were over the other night for my son's 25th birthday. I don't know how it came up- oh, yeah, I do. A crappy car and the Strat I traded for it when we were dirt poor and my son was a toddler.

    And I'm musing about how much some of those guitars I had would be worth today- and he and my oldest daughter both kind of get down-mouthed that nothing made now in their prime-time will be someday worth a hundred times what it is now.
    She texted me today she's buying a huge old console turntable with 8-Track off Craigslist. She has all my vinyl.
