Music memories
I know there's a thread somewhere about favourite music.. but I think this is a little different.
I'm creating a playlist on Spotify to get me and mine to Cornwall and back in a few weeks time.. its currently at 8 hours 27minutes..Pavorotti, Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, AC/DC and the Pogues to give you a flavour of the diversity of my taste.
As I'm doing this I'm hit with memories that resonate with me.. Pavarotti totally killing Nessun Dorma on a warm summers evening at the 3 tenors concert at the world cup in 1990, Freddie Mercury obliterating everyone else at Live Aid, Johnny Cash singing Hurt in his closed down museum, John Denver belting out Eagle and Hawk, and others who will never add to their library Cass Elliot, Glen Campbell, Karen Carpenter, Jim Morrison etc etc etc
I sat in my garden tonight listening to my young neighbours blasting out repetitive electro dance music with no vocals.. (I'm tolerant, I've been there, windows rolled down in the car, radio full blast and yep as most of you old farts know you actually had to roll them down with a handle and fit a radio and aerial yourself)
In 30-40 years time will my young neighbours have any music memories?
