I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! I have been a fan of both old and new and nothing gives me greater joy than cross-generational appreciation for the other's music. I listen to Supremes, Blondie, Weezer and Drake as if they were all contemporaries. Music, (the notes, the lyrics, the feelings behind the songs) knows no age. On paper, the words to "Baby Love" by the Supremes are as eternal as "No Tears Left To Cry" by Ariana Grande. If you were shown lyrics from two different songs and you didn't know the artists, you couldn't tell the writers' ages by words alone. And that's why I scratch my head trying to figure out why older acts' new songs can't be played on Top 40 radio with younger artists' songs. This shows there doesn't need to be that divide.
