mm, well, more like umm, good music?   are they gonna start saying old people 
can't rock again? go to a springsteen concert, hes currently touring. "geezer 
rock" huh?    what about the "garage rock" scene that's starting to get 
mainstream appeal? that could be another cause of why rap and hip hop are going 
downhill. actually, I don't think rap is going downhill at all. 50 cent? eminem? 
I don't think so.    i'm not a big fan of the kind of rock staind and bands 
like them are feeding me. boring stuff really. gimme the white stripes and all 
those bands anytime! ha.  just my opinion. 

by the way, we're talking about if there wasn't a who, there wouldn't be a 
Led zeppelin. very true but also if there wasn't a who, there wouldn't be a punk 
rock. in 1965, you couldn't get as "punk" as "my generation" (the stones' 
"satisfaction" came out a year later and the velvets' first album came out in 67) 
there also wouldn't have been an MC5 either. they took that instrument 
smashing up to the next level and even THEIR frontman had big hair.   think about 
it.
