Tin Can user Grahame Smith wants to know how people in their twenties and thirties feel about music that was made forty plus years ago...
I’m interested to know how today’s young people feel about music made before they were born. Say 60 and 70s music?
I love all sorts of bands from 60s right up to today’s artists… but I wonder how people feel about say The Rolling Stones. They still sell more concert tickets than any other band and that includes U2, but what do you younger music fans think of them?
Forty years ago Woodstock happened, and although I’m not quite old enough to know much about that , we all know Jimi Hendrix, to me the greatest guitar player ever, and a woman who I have listened to ever since I can remember, Janis Joplin. If you’re in your twenties or thirties what do you think of Janis and Jimi. Have you got a album or cd or mp3 of their work?
Of course I could go on forever but I hope you see what I’m getting at.
I have been going to gigs now for around 32 years, I love seeing all the big artists but you can’t beat going to a small venue and seeing a new group for the first time coming out wet with sweat, ears buzzing. But why do younger music fans look at me and my friends like we should be at home and have no right to be there?
Rock till you drop ...that’s what I think!
