I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
This genre of music seems to want to push people into a certain time slot, which is unfortunate.
Good rock music always tends to be around.
I think that with the success of, like, VH1's 'Behind The Music' and stuff like that, the fact that it's so successful, it's clear that people are interested in rock lives.
Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.
I don't understand some of the music I hear on MTV or the radio, because they don't mention the times we live in. They have nothing to do with nothing.
My audience is the baby-boomers, the bulk of the population. This is also a group that is being ignored by most record companies because they're not the Top 40 hit singles market. They forget these people still listen to music.
When you look at what we can call the golden era of concept albums, which starts in the mid or late '60s and ends maybe in the early '80s, it's an interesting time for music. You see all these very established and popular acts and bands and artists that were somehow on the top of their game but really trying to experiment.
I just don't get that new hot music. I don't know anything about all these groups like U2.
Rock music is niche.
