What, who, is that of yours?

That touched me, specially the thing about sixties music. I'm 57 now, but I can't get that music out of my system, and because of that, I have brought it to the open to everyone, and by that I mean that I have been doing that music (at home, streets, parks and subways) and writing in that style now for ever..Is the music I started with and the only one that has heart as far as I'm concerned.

As the world changes the music changes, it becomes more cynical, more agressive, less about love and more about hate, or it becomes so bland it has to have a neck breaking dance routine, so people focus more one that and not notice the lyrics and music stinks. The sixties style music doesn,t have to die, I encourage other writers and performers to keep it alive. When I play that music I notice the people feeling it, and they express to me how grateful they are, with smiles, money or stopping their rush to talk to me for a while.


Rapid consolation is not a common term, in fact I may have invented in the moment. A consolation is what consoles you ( makes you forget, and feel good, despite) when things go bad or things are geting to you...a rapid consolation would be a quick fix, what takes you out very fast(rapid). out of your gloomy mood you may find yourself in at a ramdom moment; for some it's alcohol, a joint, sex, a tv show, friends showing up. While those are the most popular,they may not always be available.

 

I am 30 years younger than you, obviously didnt get to see the 60s (in this life anyway), and I feel the EXACT same way as you do about music from that era. My attitude about music today is also the same. My friend and I the other day were flipping through the radio, just to hear what's on it. It pretty much was the two of us shaking our heads and going "what in the hell has happened to music?" not only is it stale and lacking heart, its vulgar! It literally hurts my ears! And they all seem to sing about the same things. Booty, cash money ya'll, and how much of a badass the singer thinks of themself.

The music from the 60s does something to me - it gives me a feeling that I cannot get anywhere else.........born to late <sigh>.

ps..sorry for going off topic.......

No at all, I apreciate this subject and even thought of opening a thread about it.
We can still listen to John lennon as if he had just made that recording, and
that is why we are lucky that there is so much good music to be played still, so much so that we don't even have to turn on the radio or ever go to those horrible tv channels that play what goes disrespectfully by the name 'music'.

Everytime I open up a music book by the Beatles or Rollings stones, or anyone of that era, I get very overwhelmed as to how many songs I can still learn, memorize perform and record at home. I recently had a new music partner about my age come to jam, and we did "it's only love" "in my life', "I've just seen a face" and "ruby tuesday", and others using keyboard and guitar and drums from the keyboard, for later to peforming together outside, but I made a cd of the jam, and with all the mistakes involved in rehearsing still there, I can't explain how much joy one feels listening to it.

The music is kept alive and nothing created today has to replace it, at least in your own home.

It's a good thing that old music has not been illegalized or we'd be carrying posters saying "legalize the sixties music".
