I can't find a lot to argue with there, Grimmy.

If I'm honest I prefer old songs because I find them more exciting and and stimulating to my imagination. On the other hand I find much of today's popular culture banal and stupid in the extreme (ie. 'dumbed down') and many new songs that I hear are not much better. Nevertheless, there are some good song writers around and I would be the first to applaud their achievements.
