I'm sitting here listening to iTunes. I have a bunch of playlists that I made when the mood struck me. One of the playlists I made consists of music from the 70s and 80s, which happens to be my favorite time period for pop music. Yeah, I know... I'm old.
Still, I can't get over how good some of this shit is. I really think the music business has become a lot more about packaging than actual talent. The talented folks aren't necessarily the ones on stage. They're the ones coming up with songs that sell and images that others will think is cool. How I miss the days before music videos, when a person could be very ordinary looking and still rock the house.

From the No Nukes concert in 1979... The album that accompanies this is just awesome!
Bruce Springsteen at the same show...
Carole King and James Taylor at The Troubadour in 2010 singing a classic song...
A little Jim Croce...
Okay... this is from 1969, but still...
I usually like a little mellow music on Sundays, but it's fun to hear what comes up randomly. I'm so glad I was around when music was still awesome. (Yes, I'm old.)
