Subject: RE: BS: Do you hate silence?
"Another problem is that old folks don't like us young people's music. It will always be like that. They think if we're not playing THEIR kind of music, we'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back to Georgia."
To expand a bit on Bill D's comment: Mbo,seriously, what do you expect "us young folks" to be playing and singing when you become "us old folks"? Part of thinking as you are thinking is a result of being young; as you get older, you will suddenly realize that the people you're talking to remember very well indeed what it was like to be young, and it will suddenly occur to you that in actual years you're not that far away from being their age. As I read somewhere, no matter how long you may live, the longest half of your life will always be the first 20 years. My message, probably, is that it may behoove you to become just a tad less sure of yourself when it comes to your opinions.
And truly, no offense meant...Ebbie
