I mean hell most of the beatles are dead, david bowie is dead, Dio is dead, Robbin Williams dead, christopher lee dead...like ahhh who the f**k am i supposed to look up to now, they're all dead. Why does everyone keep dying...I mean f**k at least I got to see Dio and was able to get my brother a ticket to before he died, otherwise we would have never seen him.

But yeah when I got the tickets I wasn't sure there would be another chance to see him live, but I mean he died doing the tour so we pretty much saw one of his last shows at red rocks in colorado and it was f*****g epic. but damn I feel like the world is worse off without him I mean I really miss Dio. He was just an epic part to the story of metal, I mean he invented the devil horns sign being a metal thing..he's the one who started the metal hand symbol. So I mean whenever you see this

That is what Dio created and metalheads around the world use it.

I feel the same, i feel like i am dead too with some part of them.

You can still look up to them and enjoy their music. Death is a part of life, we all have to go sometime. Hendrix, SRV, Chris Cornell, Glen Fry......the list could go on and on........are all dead but have influenced my musical style in such great ways. Their bodies are dead but the music will live on.

George Harrison, John Lennon, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison.

Sigh.

I regularly try to find new music, and yeah, they kinda don't make it like that anymore, except as ironic reenactment.
which is okay, I guess. It's not sound for the 21st century.

reading 21st century news, Ithink the 21st century sounds more like this:



I fell more like part of this historic moment listening to chuck person than when listening to the stuff my parents liked, really. There hasn't been much new music this century that brought into the present moment, rather than taking me on a nostalgia trip. and yeah, music was better back then. so were films, worker's rights and wealth inequality and cost of living. oh, and the air didn't contain plastic yet. and all I got was a youtube clip and the option to replay it until the landlord/investment company kicks me out.
you need to listen to music for times in which the air you breathe contains plastic.

Bob Hope, Jack Benny, George Burns, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Mahalia Jackson, The Andrews Sisters, Billy Holiday, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and His Comets, Bo Diddley, Rudy Valens, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, Frankie Avalon, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Bobby Rydell, Connie Francis, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Fabian Forte, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Bill Monroe, Eddy Arnold, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Jim Reeves, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Chet Atkins, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, The Kingston TrioJimmy Hendrix, Kitty Wells, and the late-great Johnny Cash...

(Yeah, I included a few comedians, but I miss those people, too.)

there's a bunch of young talented artists on bandcamp, soundcloud and elsewhere begging to be discovered...

I listen to a lot of the older music from 1900s to the 1970s. A lot of great performers have passed away. I remember the day that Pete Quaife of The Kinks passed away. That really hit me in the core of my heart. I remember the day that George Harrison of The Beatles passed away. I was very upset. I remember when I found out that Dusty Springfield passed away. I dreamed that it happened two days before I found out. I knew that Jimi Hendrix passed away at a very young age when I was in my teens, but I still looked up to him. It didn't matter to me that he was no longer part of this world. I was a hippie who needed someone to look up to, and he happened to be the one. My two favourite Monkees have passed away. Davy Jones and Peter Tork. I still look up to Peter because we're both Aspies. I dread the day that another Kink will pass away. I will not be telling my mum about that passing. I don't need the cold shoulder all over again.
