Nice little PC commentary, but "here we go again" like Hell !    Too "old"? 
"Don't know how?" Since WHEN do ears forget "how" to listen, or the brain to 
appreciate?  You, in fact, are the spectacularly, stupidly wrong one.   The 
making and appreciation of popular music has been declining, if not already 
dead, for decades.  The cr*p being foisted on everyone today is nothing but 
ignorant garbage, and utterly devoid of culture, history, sensitivity, and 
education.  It IS bad, and it IS trash .
