Back in the seventies, it's safe to say the that music told us something about the artists' personally. Today, with most bands you can't tell whether they are coming or going. Honesty isn't respected today like it was years ago, and there just isn't enough creative freedom. There's no easy way to way it.

Years ago, "musicians" put their hearts on the line, and their less than perfect point of view for the better of their compositions. Today, a lot the music is too safe, and "rockstars" feelk the need to follow a certain poattern to achieve success. Too many "rock stars today" they don't think in terms of longevity, which is sad, because they aren't liuving up to their true potential as "musicians." I'm not disgruntled fan who's constantly waiting for the past to repeat itself, I just wish that intergity went along with success today as it did years ago..
