I think this stuff needs to come back.
I've noticed that some of the technology opens the way for lots of
mediocrity. But I equate that with democracy. There's still great stuff
made, and the institution of art/music doesn't belong to anyone. There was
lots of putrid rock put out in the 60's and 70's that was quickly
forgotten. I guess the technology of guitar amps and Moog synths really
killed creativity.
But really, Elton mouths off about random stuff on a regular basis. In my
professional estimation, he doesn't really care either way. People say crap
like that sitting in all-night diners in the middle of nowhere and who
cares; this is just the same deal but from someone who used to be
"important."
