Good music is good music. Sounds like its time to dig into the genre a bit for you. There are always some bands you havent heard of, always some new music in that style you like, you have to look around. You tube, google searches. is the hey day ovcer? yes? but new music always comes out, you have to be on the lookout and search for it.
Music, the industry, the scene, the players, the styles, arent what they were when you were my age, or when either of us were 18. it will never be like that again. Live music is all but gone, but can be found. southern rock isnt gone, its just not in the front seat.
dont self antiquate. i have too many older colleges who do. they refuse to listen to the new, to search out what they like, and learn something about themselves musically, and dwell on what happened in thier youth, or the hey day of music that i totally missed out on...
that is their choice! great music still exists- GO OUT AND FIND IT!
i hear youve retired, bought a great new house in an area filled with fishing opportunities. you gonna sit on your rear end and not throw a few in that great looking pond up the street, just cause it isnt the 100 fish day you had in the Adirondacks a decade ago? HELL NO!!! and if any of us found out you did that, we'd find you and snap you out of it. do the same with the tunes!!!!

When I come home stinking like fish, I know I`ve had a good day....
Yup I miss Blackfoot and still enjoy hearing Train train and "fly away". Gotta crank it up when "Green grass and high tides" comes on every once in a blue moon. Sprinkle in some early Molly Hatchet and call it a party. Seems the "classic rock" stations have forgotten all about southern rock.
As Mike said I've moved on from trying to hear music that was great in my day. Still enjoy the old stuff for sure but Have been listening to 104.1 for a while. I don't like everything on there but do enough a lot of it. Don't agree with the opinions of the DJs either just need to hear something different. Can't be that tied to the past. Can't forget it but can't dwell in it either.
Ct public radio is a graveyard,...and it's overgrown and the tombstones are falling over.awful.or it's like decaf coffee...why bother....yeayea I'm a hot mess.my tirades are legendary...male menopause".Don Henley must die..."
Conrad,don't know if I have told this story before,if I have forgive the ramblings of a alcohol induced pre dementia dumbass.me and the wenches honeymoon in Saranac in the Adirondacks,driving through town I see "Mojo Nixon" live in a small bar ,TONITE...he was the official favorite musician for the Olympic ski team,stationed and practicing nearby.he came all the way up,put on a one man show...very limited acess,called in a favor and got us in,it was sick,depraved and awsome.maybe a 100 people...needless to say I had a bit to much and my new wife had to drive us back to the hotel,on the water and we did bass fish the next day... sorry about your sails,get a motor.
O bass,took your advice...went looking and listening,stuck my foot in the pool,...Rory Kelley,out of north carolina,Kings never sleep,killer album....also HayMarket Riot..i got a fn parking ticket for my dinosaur..
