Concerning the lack of discussion about more modern bands, be it of age or in sound, I'm sort of curious if there's this kind of aesthetic generation gap thing some of the older posters here experience with newer music styles from beyond some cutoff point in the 1980s or 1990s? I'm from 1988 and there's very little music before the mid-1960s I listen to. Even then, a lot of stuff from the 1970s and even the 1980s I don't think really resonates with me the way it does with older audiences. I wonder if some people here are feeling a similar disconnect but from the other end of the line.

^By the way what was the kind of rock played in Europe (especially in UK) until the mid-1960s? Let's just put The Beatles apart, because I think their career began even some years before, maybe their first release was in the year 1961 or '62, am I wrong?

I'm referring to the US stuff too, as well as a pre-rock'n'roll American music. (you know the stuff Tom Waits likes to pastiche, I remember him saying something about how he thinks the Beatles "killed rock music")

Rock music has changed greatly since the Beatles commanded the pop charts and media attention. It is now fractured into a thousand different varieties of sub-tractions and things we were. We are re-arranged. All the things we were are deranged. I like "No-Man." So go get into your muse and let the music light your fuse.

We'll have to ask George Miller if he has any new ideas for the cars that ate Paris, and if we will have a film made again about some road warrior in time!
This is good already ... I do wish that we made some small changes so that a post with 300 pages is not lost or wasted, and that there was a better link between the interviews and other information on the website, which gets wasted. These links are hiding a lot of information that would really help create the interviews and other information, some of the best on the internet and help make Wiki the stupid and poor idea and work that it is!
