Remember what you like!....This may help!

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Great tune. They don't make 'em like that anymore! I will take this over Nicki Minaj or Maroon 5 any day.

Amen to that, but you left out "Lady Gaga" she makes me "GAG GAG"

What happened to the days when it helped to have some "Musical Ability". Like Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Clapton or B.B King, (showing my age). One good thing is the music I listen to is now in the cheap bins at "Half Price Books".

This music reminds me to those days when life was still uncomplicated. Summers seemed to be endless and I was sure it would remain like that for the rest of my life.

Thanks for bringing back the memories to that beautiful period in my life.

I guess every generation complains about the music their kids listen to. I'm sure your grandparents had the same reaction when your parents started listening to Elvis and the like, just as your parents in turn did when you started listening to all that "long-haired hippie stuff"

. I have found that every generation produces at least some good music. Since we're a bunch of grumpy old men throwing lyrics around

, I'm reminded of this song:

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm gonna drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of
Well, but time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister
But boring stories of glory days

they do, you just have to avoid the "pop"ular radio stations and "music" charts and listen to the rock stuff

Allthough to be fair .. some of the pop stuff isnt all that bad

It may not be as flashy or comercialized as pop or 'modern' country, but that is a good thing. I would hate to see somthing that is a rich, deep, powerful, and historical artform be treated like modern day 'flash in the pan' comercialized pop music.

There is hope, there are young musicians who are playing the blues and keeping it alive, playing on small independent labels. Some musicians have just a webcam and a youtube account, but there is definite talent, not just in blues but in lots of music forms.

Especially with the passing of Doc Watson this past Tuesday.

Hey beana51:

1977 was a great year for music. It was during the height of the popular FM Radio AOR format (Album Oriented Rock) and "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas is an excellant example. I was listening to a lot of FM radio in Los Angeles at the time, KMET and KLOS mostly. Many a Saturday night spent with friends and a big jug of cheap California wine, watching somebody roll up fat doobie so we could all get baked and listen to the Dr. Demento show when it came on.
