"Bitter" is the name for a pretty good kind of beer.

There's probably at least as much unfairness against older performers as there ever is against young ones. Even in this thread there have probably been a lot more insults aimed at people for being old than there is for being young.

That kind of thinking and that kind of talk are a distraction. The problem isn't age versus youth, it's that people misuse the levers control they have been entrusted with.

But looked at positively, this is the process by which new music venues get opened up, and new combinations of people get to use them. And in time these new channels tend to silt up. That's how a delta gets built up over time.
