Man my aunt was the biggest Betty White and Billy Ocean fan. I was into vinyl even as a kid and she’d let me sit there and either listen to her play the records or let me play them. My vinyl collection damn near mirrors hers and my mom’s. You won’t care about the old school music if you’re not exposed to it.
when i was in high school the white stoner kids liked those bands. i never liked phish but as a musician i can respect their abilities. they can play their asses off, but it just feels so... soulless? theyre just bland. grateful dead were a lot better IMO. im not crazy about jam bands, but their long-form shows and extended improv reminds me a lot of jazz. i respect it. 'dark star' is a pretty cool song (no 2 live versions are the same)
if the youth are retarded, its because of our generationthis new gen shyt is terrible. no wonder so many of the youth are retarded.
negros were really in that young thug album thread saying that dookie was good
I remember in the blog Stuff White People Like blog, one of the entries was white people liking black music genres and black artists that black people cooled on. I don't how whites felt about Parliament Funkadelic back in their heyday but you'll see white folks feeling out on it nowadays in certain musical circleswhen i was in high school the white stoner kids liked those bands. i never liked phish but as a musician i can respect their abilities. they can play their asses off, but it just feels so... soulless? theyre just bland. grateful dead were a lot better IMO. im not crazy about jam bands, but their long-form shows and extended improv reminds me a lot of jazz. i respect it.

apparently in the 90s after jerry garcia died, a lot of white people felt 'lost' and ended up... at p-funk shows
but i guess i can kind of see why they'd latch onto a band like that. in their respective days, both bands were 'events' that traveled the country playing for millions of dedicated followers, some who even followed the band city to city. im certain those bands crossed paths, and i wonder what they thought of each other
It's a different era and them good ol' days aint coming back. There is just too much distractions, vs back in the day, you only had bet or mtv raps to see rap videos. There was quality vs quantity now.
It's a definite decline. Any older person with a set of working ears should know this, but too many older people in our generation try to fit in with the young folks lol.
