lol Funny thing is I've been to see Metallica twice and LOVED it and will go again the next chance I get! I went to the opening of the EMP and they had a TON of groups there. I've seen Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, The Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Kid Rock and many more live in concert. Totally appreciated all of them and their talent. I just like the early rock the best. I think the thing young people don't have a clue about is the VARIETY of music that was on the AM POP stations back in the '70's. When you tuned to your local POP station in the '70's you could hear anything from Roy Clark to the Rolling Stones to Carly Simon to Kiss to Neil Sedaka to Nazareth to Neil Diamond on the same station. You got an appreciation for a variety of music and there was no SIRUS or net to turn to so that you could listen to "The only thing I like to hear" station. I think it made for a more eclectic nation. It's easier to get a click going and limit yourself when you don't have to hear others interests and thoughts. Music expresses interests and thoughts.

I'm on my soapbox again...
