What concerns me is the pervasive mundane sameness of modern music.
My first 45 was Born Too Late by the Poni Tails. As I got a little older, I was hip to Elvis and the Beach Boys and the Beatles, but I also liked folk (Kingston Trio, P,P & M) and listened to a jazz radio station. My parents would put Broadway musicals and classical music on the HiFi, and I was taken to classical concerts. I even got into Indian ragas in college (!).
If young people today aren’t exposed to the rich variety of good music, then I’m afraid it will die.
