Yep. Just popped into my mind today as I sat down to read “An American Dream” again to reminisce about a time when that concept could be considered something that was at least remotely based in reality… Real lyricists become more scarce with each new generation, but that’s why I’m so grateful for the ability to listen to damn near anything I could ever think of wanting to hear in seconds! Fuck, from Dave Brubeck to The Browning to Jaco Pastorious to Strauss to The Disco Biscuits and nearly everything I didn’t list is available too. I never imagined that this would be the future of music when I was a wee lad in the early 80’s.
