and i'm a fan of great pop music... i just dont hear the majority of pop music in this generation being of that class. lennon/mccartney, MJ, classic prince... exceptions rather than the rule imo

i fully subscribe to great pop being a mastercraft unto itself and that jazz has in almost every stage of its evolution had the extremes of pandering band wagon jumpers and explorative purists.

when i see younger listeners go out and lose it to a sick improvised band/vibe, it's a reminder that the energy and what that translates doesnt belong in any one time or place
