It was a hell of a year of great music, and I have always been a fan of The Ramones since I saw them at CBGB’s in Manhattan…

Dear diary, I really do not want to use the phrase «we’re in the age of mediocrity», but…

Lauren Bacall said that back in the 1990’s in some interview referring to the lack of talent, taste and quality in Hollywood. And I certainly do agree with her and believe that the age of mediocrity has continued (worsened) in these 2020’s.

I am an artist and a poet and a lover of music, but I cannot listen to today’s music at all. I used to follow all the bands and solo artists from the 60’s all the way to the mid 90’s and then in the year 2000 it all changed. No more bands to follow, no more talented singers to listen to. All was rubbish. In this day and age people applaud the most uninspiring, boring and lame performers ever. How can people forget what the rock/pop and jazz scene were just a few decades ago?

Where are today’s Lennon & McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, and all the other great bands that really played music and had a message in their songs? Nowadays you have dancing divas with a chorus line singing songs without a message or meaning. Or you have talent-less singers who are revered, followed, enriched and thought of as phenomenal, when in reality they don’t even know what the hell they are doing.

I would not trade an album like Sgt. Pepper’s or Dark Side of the Moon for the entire career of any of these «spectacle» performers of today.

So I will modify Bacall’s statement and say that we are in the age of shite as far as music goes. Chuck Berry had said «Roll Over Beethoven» when rock and roll was gaining ground, now I would say that all our great rockers that are in that great band in the sky must roll over and cover their ears. Thank God we do not have to listen to the rubbish they call great music today. We can still enjoy the good one from the age of progress, creativity and taste by looking through our vinyl’s, CD’s or in the music platforms available, including YouTube.
