Yes this may be true. But wouldn't you say the state of rock and roll is
particularly horrible at the moment? I know I'm pointing out the obvious
observation. I was originally trying to make the correllation between this
current state of rock and roll and how that relates to the ecomonic boom of
the late 90's. And trying to speculate that the recession that Bush will be
ushering in will hopefully spawn something more inspiring. I was hoping to
discuss the future of rock and roll. I suppose I wasn't clear enough. I'll
admit I'm not the greatest communicator via email...

So if I get this right, you believe George W. Bush is the reason the economy
is about to take a downturn, and that recessions by nature cause good music.
If we are due for a recession I believe most liberals and conservatives
alike will likely blame any downturn on mass over- speculation in the
technology sector and above average rising energy costs. As far as music
goes I believe a good economy was a principle reason that mod was able to
flourish. Now I do agree poverty is extremely beneficial if you're a blues
musician.

Do you need to assert your utmost authority at every turn and go for the
jugular at the slightest hint of someone's lesser thought out points? Not
everyone has had your twenty or so years of exposure to music and
involvement in the mod scene. Why not turn people on more to the things
you're listening to and have experienced? There must be more that you're
listening to than just the two groups you mentioned before.

I agree Dan is sometimes abrasive but you still seem to be ignorant to the
misinformation of your first post and are only setting yourself up for
further "punishment" by trying to CYA after the fact. I have seen Dan be
quite civilized even when answering innocent questions about "basic subject
matter". However, if you want to get him to respond to you just write and
essay like your first post espousing some philosophy that is obviously
flawed in it's logic.
