well you got me there your only a year younger than me. Leeds UK i assume as in "Live at Leeds"? the punk thing never took off here in the USA like it did in the UK, and never did anything for me either. and yes the rebelion thing is nothing new, was going on in the 20s with jazz at the time. becomes more popular with the young if it offends the elders. yes the stones were rebelion in the 60s by after the 70s they were old hat, sorta wish they had hung it up after emotional rescue. but don't you think hip hop is rebellion? i agree with you that the "industry" munipulates music for commercial gain and the art generally suffers as a result, although this is nothing new the degree of it has magnified as time has gone on. In fact if you look into Classical music the same was there as well, in the middle ages the church controlled the music, then kings and princes, then the rich upper class, as they were the ones commissioning artists and pieces. There is a lot of early 70s rock that i love, but after that it slowly became as you say primarily "disposable" and "distracting", and the number of artists i liked slowed to a trickle by the mid-80s. every now and then i hit new one i like (Midnight Oil, Bjork), but i begin to wonder if its worth the effort of searching. so now i tend to either go into the obscure or very old. Listening to Philip Glass now... i only care about the quality of the music and does it do anything for me, the politics behind it are not important to me, and i dont really care if the music is new and came out last week or a thousand years ago, if i like it is all that matters. i never really understood the facination with new or whats "in".
