Such a cliche

Sitting in a bar, enjoying music with some friends, celebrating the birthday. Then you realise the music is from a station that woke up quite a while ago on the other side of the bed from "hip", and landed right square in the middle of "dull". And the one person at the table below twenty years of age is bored.

Is this what getting older means? Does it really boil down to such a cliche?

See a pattern? Some call it lesbo-rock/folk, i prefer to call it folk/pop alternative :)

While the songs all have good tunes, part of what makes them special are the lyrics. Poetic is the only word that comes to mind. I recall sitting in at a performance by a singer-songwriter who had just started out in the industry. She wasn't bad, but it gave me a much greater appreciation for the craft and artistry of people like Tracy and Sarah.

Do you pay more attention to the lyrics or tune of a song?

Ever cried cos a song was too too good? Or gotten swept up in a song on the spur of the moment. I have.
