actually, for what its worth, i know about music that is much more interesting and much more emotionally involving to me now than i had any idea existed when i was 17-23.
rock was never the best music i listened to.
for example, it was hard to get worked up about the dead when i already knew later coltrane.
rock was one option among many. and it is an option that has simply stagnated, that i lost interest in.
no nostalgia for it.
and still less for being 17-23.
