Random Music Insight.

IMO 

What's missing in general music today is the poetic sense, the revolutionary attribute and the political power it holds. Back in the 60's, 70's, 80's./ You had people changing how other's think, act and feel. Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, The Clash, Crass, Billy Bragg and countless others who have had so much impact not only in their respective fields of music but in culture and how everything is perceived as well. Conventional society has really fucking fucked us over by dumbing down and brain washing everybody to accept radio programmin as the be all and all one stop shop for their musical tastes and that really friggin bugs me man, cause as a kid these days you can't hear music that really means something unless you have an awesome parent,uncle friend etc. and that's pretty rare. We need more people like Allen Ginsberg, Jim Morrison, jello Biafra. Outcasts, poets, Vagabonds, free spirits and thinking men and women.

But no. The plummettng quality of mainstream music over the last 2 decades is just painful to be present, to experience and see as it influences everything around us. Kids are dumber,dress shittier, moral values change ideals and aspirations become shallow(everything else does these days, only the pockets of politicians are deep as ever)  I'm sure there's no direct correlation between music and other aspects of living. but I'm sure a 12 year old kid who looks up to Eve Libertine or Poly Styrene growing up in a violent environment over Britney Spears or Vannessa Hudgens will turn out much better than another who idolizes the latter. This can't be helped since people have been more and more tolerant on what MTV, V & 101.1 Stations shove through their ears.

As always I hope for a struggling artist,poet,deadbeat,burnout or anybody to tap into something and change the flow, the world needs it right now to, as Led Zeppelin puts it on an epic fantasy themed track "Bring The Balaaaance Bacckkkk! " 

Haha....
