old at 22 yer breaking me up here

:wink: laugh laugh laugh

maybe yer taste has changed some

and those old songs kust bring back memories of good times

heck i remember buying the new songs on 45s

yer post did make me think of Johnny Cash's song tho

The old man turned off the radio
Said, "Where did all of the old songs go
Kids sure play funny music these days
They play it in the strangest ways"
Said, "it looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child"
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
Are trying to be heard above your noise?
And the lonely voice of youth cries "What is truth?"

A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?"
"son, that's when people fight and die"
The little boy of three says "Daddy, why?"
A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
"What is truth?"

A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with the book says "Raise your hand"
"Repeat after me, I solemnly swear"
The man looked down at his long hair
And although the young man solemnly swore
Nobody seems to hear anymore
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair
And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"

The young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
The young man speaking in the city square
Is trying to tell somebody that he cares
Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
Are going to be the leaders in a little while
This old world's wakin' to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way
You better help the voice of youth find
"What is truth/"

There are many good songs out there. You just have to know where to find them. Who are some of your favorite singers and groups?

The problem with finding good music is it depends on how much you've been exposed to and like already. The broader your listening base the better chance you have of finding something new you like. Personally, my favorite genre is death metal but there's scant few bands popping up these days I enjoy. Imitation is an unfortunate byproduct of success, and eventually it can be next to impossible to find true originals amongst the sea of replicas. My advice to you is to start poking around in other genres. Rap, jazz, blues... search all over. And check out Pandora.com if you're not aware of it already. Free internet radio based on your listening tastes. Hope that helps
