Continuing with the edits today and looking into the eyes of those songs that are old enough to be known and enjoyed by everyone, I begin to wonder, in the age of long-tail niche marketing and ” I only listen to bands that don’t exist yet” cool-ness if our kids will have common culture in the future, or even if we will. On the upside, the barriers of entry to creating and distributing new ideas, new music, new energy are almost non-existent. On the downside, our culture is fixated on consumption of information (and everything else) at an ever increasing rate. To the point that we can’t possibly manage the barrage of incoming, let alone complete a thought without it being interrupted, truncated, and dismissed. ADD isn’t hyper-activity; it’s information overload. A very inorganic living. In programming terms, ‘garbage in, garbage out.”
