Subject: RE: Age and being excited by music
Maybe it isn't you - it's the music?
I do think the ability (or readiness) to be excited by new stuff gets less as your years get more. I think of it as natural, though I do regret it sometimes. At least part of the reason must be, though, that with most new stuff you've heard better stuff before. It's years since anything new really bowled me over. The last ones to do that were James Keelaghan, about five years ago (when I was forty)(I've cooled down since ...), then there was Mick West's first CD. But even with most of the bands I enjoy I tend to think they used to be better. - Maybe it's age after all! And there's nowt you can do about it, so enjoy things while you can ... - Susanne
