pic to the album cover you mentioned.
the last gen that understood music and its impact on culture, society,politics and reflective of the times were the boomers and the Gen x people born from 67-72..after that up to now..its not about ‘artistic ability and contributions to music..its about CORPORATION GREED AND THOSE WHO LOOK AT PROFITI OVER EXPRESSION!!..But HOPE springs eternal and everything is recycled and radio stations are returning to “Rock Bloks” and replaying “oldies” in 20 and 30 minute ‘flashbacks” and reintroducing what was to generations born since 1990..and that shows a return is underway!!
