Help!

Just watching the Beatles Anthology with Jess, and while we were watching one of their old concerts from the 60s, I made a comment about how I wish I had a time machine. And Jess made the good point that our kids wouldn’t want to come to our current time period. That made me so annoyed, not at Jessica of course because she was telling the truth, but I realized there really isn’t one artist/band of our generation. There are alot that have come from the generation before us that are still popular today, like I don’t consider Madonna from my time period since I wasn’t even born when she came out with her first single, so I don’t think that can count. I’m not saying there are some great bands out now, but there is nothing close that comes to The Beatles, Who, Stones, etc. They are such monsters of the music industry, that nothing else really is a fair comparison. It could be due to the fact that these bands were the forefathers of the rock movement (well I guess they wouldn’t be, you could argue that the blues masters of the 40s and 50s were the forefathers since they were the ones that were being covered by the bands above.)

I think our generation needs to get a move on.
