Subject: RE: 'It's all right to like...'
Yesterday Evening I was taken (somewhat reluctantly) to see the stage version of "Saturday Night Fever"
I was 15 when the movie came out & its all-pervasive soundtrack epitomised everything I despised in popular music at that time.
What I heard last night was a colllection of songs which were very well crafted & had ,without exception, endured in the public consciousness for far longer than most of the music I favoured in 1977.
Perhaps we all find ourselves more receptive to other people's ideas on "Good Music" as we mature emotionally & culturally?
