[R. Mahaffey]

I think your question is very interesting because I’ve spent a lot of time wondering how young people can’t like the music of my generation. The lyrics and melodies created by the artists of that day capsulized not only the times (which were so unique), but also the experiences and the rhythms going on – the rhythms of the night, falling in love, feeling good, striving for peace and idealism, learning things you never imagined, basically just a feeling of ‘coming together’. And for me, no drugs were involved. (Having said that, I can answer my own above question, because the times and experiences of the youth today are definitely not parallel to those of yesterday.) I am a 55-year-old woman who still listens heartily to classic rock and am back ‘in the moment’ for a moment as I’m sure everyone who gets the privilege to age feels about the music of their youth, but ours was special I think. Remembering keenly all the feelings of my youth when a certain song comes on is my present-day joy as I stare into these God-awful computers! Incidentally, I attended the Led Zepplin concert in Miami when I was 22 but was too afraid to stay for the entire thing due to the fact it was my first concert. There is much to be found in the music, so keep listening…
