""You IMO hit on a major element of what I think is the problem- Prior to 1970, I think people were able to separate the music from the politics and judge them separately....... But something changed in the 1970s...... People started using non-musical biases to judge the music as music, and it's been all downhill ever since.""
So, you think that music is there strictly for entertainment and not a part of any kind of social commentary, or educational tool, or any kind of dissemination of political, educational, or socio-economic learning tool?
If so, - i think exactly the opposite. Especially in the USA where we have one of the worst, and most biased, press-corp and corrupt corporate controlled media in the world, - it used-to-be very important to me that we had an alternative, and this punk-rock, and the post-punk-rock, - educational-media-news-through-rock vehicle was a good way to get it.
With the fact that music lost its relevance as entertainment, and importance to counter the biases of the press, and the worsening of the biases of the media; things have gotten really bad: (read, American Idol).
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
