what has happened to music in the last few years. Were are all the bands gone that actually have something to say, something of relevance? I remember back in the day you has people like Dylan and Morrison in the 60's and 70's, along with a whole loads of protest singers. Infact back then if you had an acoustic guitar you were a protest singer. Then along came the whole punk movement with rebelling against who knows what, but at least they were trying to prove a point, then in the 80's and 90's you had Morrissey and Rage Against the machine trying to prove a point through music.
But today what do you have? I mean all the punk bands are just completely self obsessed, is it just a sign of the general malaise with society? Music used to men something, who can forget Geldof and the guy from ultravox during band aid / live aid. No what do we have, a whole concert against global warming that probably used up more fossil fuel to put on than is used to heat a medium sized town for a year. Well done to all involved. Isn't it true that the youth follow what the bands say, or do bands just follow what the people want?
