Is there some switch that clicks on in the brain of a 30- or 40-year-old that makes them unable to assimilate any new music?
I just don't get it. Give the average 30/40-year-old an iPod -- a device that can hold thousands if not tens of thousands of songs -- and they'll fill it with the same Springsteen, Zeppelin, Talking Heads or whatever else they've been playing since 33 1/3 RPM vinyl was the top end of music technology.
There's nothing wrong with any of those bands: they were (and, in some cases, are) great. But a hell of a lot has happened since the Boss cranked out the River, and some of it has been good.
Even if you're not into popular music, don't you want to hear something different? How about a little jazz, or even some classical? Don't your ears get bored?
