Family Of The Year - The Princess and The Pea (feat. Willy Mason)

I came to a really sad realization the other night, I was watching a documentary that showed a clip of the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles performing, girls were literally passing out while screaming so loud their voice is probably still hoarse to this day. Right then I realized that no contemporary band will ever get a reception like that again, does it take a repressed age to recieve such an ovation? Dont get me wrong, I see bands get the screaming girl thing all the time, but its different now - it lacks the same intensity as wildly screaming teens in the 1950s, an almost involuntary state that only shows itself when you truly desire something. This got me thinking more and I started wondering if shit like justin bieber was our modern day beatle? If that's the current state of music I want nothing to do with it,the two states of music always boggle my mind, music: which is what you hear places like KCRW, stereo gum, and here - then there's Music which panders to the teenage heart with mommy and daddy's credit card in a paper envelope in their pocket. -- See that folks? there's more going on in my head than just dick jokes. I almost deleted this because there's really no point to state, but that would go against what left as rain is, were just dudes talking about what we think about bullshit - That's what gives this little niche on the internet a soul.
