All generations look at the ones that come after and shake their heads. Since Greece was the shining light of the world, that is how it has been...and will likely always be.
On our last Music Friday post, we referenced a TV show that aired through the 1970s called The Midnight Special. Those that lived through that era never missed a show. You couldn't. Recording it to a "video cartridge" was pretty much only available to the rich at that point in our evolution.
There was no internet. There was no satellite radio. Only a few communities had terrestrial radio stations that would experiment with new, unproven music (and I, luckily, had the chance to work at one). In those days, The Midnight Special and Rock Concert were pretty much the only way we saw new bands in concert.
Is that why music meant so much more to those of us in the '70s? Because it was so rare? And, while I know that Millennials love their music...I just don't sense the same passion. Is it because it's so easy to find and free as well?
Just wondering...
Remembering The Midnight Special on this Music Friday, here's another great clip from a painfully young Aerosmith with the kick ass "Train Kept a Rollin'."
