where I'm real tired of the angst, sturm and drang in music; the superficial pop productions; the anger in r&b. I like optimism. Life and getting old is depressing enough.
Listen to the lyrics of this song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onb1CrGRkvY
The best is yet to come..... how much more optimistic can you get. You reach an age where you need that optimism.
Or this one (when women sounded like women and not little girls):

I start thinking about how many kids were conceived in the back of a '57 Chevy with Elvis on the radio vs. the number of kids conceived while listening to Death Metal, Hip Hop (yeah, like the misogynistic or just simply angry lyrics are going to get me in the mood), modern Pop where many of the acts are a lot of mediocre dancing + mediocre vocals that you can go see if you've got $125 + parking, and I could go on and on and on and on. I think Western Civilization peaked in 1967 and it's been downhill since.
