I just heard a comment on the radio yesterday concerning Jim Morrison's father telling him he couldn't sing and had no business wasting his time with music. Consider his father almost certainly was comparing him to big band singers like Sinatra or Bing Crosby. Of course Jim Morrison was never that kind of singer.

This is all generational. My grandmother hated the 40's big bands, you know the ones that all us jazzers think are the greatest like Count Basie, Glen Miller, etc, etc. She hated that stuff because she was one generation earlier. She was from the Roaring 20's Flapper era. Flapper dancing had nothing to do with big band swing.

We all know and love what we grew up listening to in high school and college. That simple. Younger people are already in their same rut. They don't think so yet but they already are. Ten years from now they're still going to be listening to the same classic stuff (classic to them) they were listening to when they were in high school.

Of course most of us can't stand Drake. So what? That's why we're not the ones to try to get Biab to sound modern. My question is is PG going to be able to bring those younger people into the fold or is Biab going to gradually die along with all of us?
