Subject: RE: Were we ever that young?
Look folks, I'm talking about those three chord wonders who sing about their love life and other trivial crap. I've know a lot of very young musicians, Gordon Bok, 21 Dave Mallett, 28, these people had something to say that was worth saying even though they were young at the time. I do encourage potential, but never encourage what strikes me as self indulgent tripe.I've been in the music loop for more years than many of you have been alive, and I've seen too many cases where kids are pushed to perform on stage way before they are ready, and that's when they stop growing. Arrested development.
Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself. And, my opinion is as good as yours.
