Bowie> I've heard that reaction from a few people also. Jon Rogers, who directed and produced the live footage of me in the video, said the song reminded him of Tears For Fears and Bowie. Any similarity was not intentional, although I find the comparison flattering. Great music is great music. Every song (in the sense of something you can register with the U.S. copyright office) must have an arrangement -- it may not be the first arrangement, the last arrangement, or the best arrangement, but there must be an arrangement. That arrangement is musical gold if it lends itself to adaptation by others who can really make it shine. Anyways, Buck Dharma unconsciously channeling his inner Roland Orzabel is fantastic. (Hmmm, you two guys should....) |

For a fleeting moment when I first heard the line “End of every song” melody, I thought of Duran Duran “Ordinary World” but now I don’t hear it. |

I'm partial to Rio. The chorus is sweet.

Just listened to Ordinary World for the first time. Really like it! Save A Prayer was always my favorite Duran Duran song but this could possibly replaced.

Save a Prayer, Rio, Ordinary World…my top 3. I didn’t like 80’s music nearly as much back then, as I do now.

Though Ordinary World came out in…’93, I think? That whole record is good, very diverse, but I love it. May have been because of where I was at that particular time in my life.

Maybe pop music has gotten continually more crappy as the years progressed. Or maybe, just get off my lawn. I wonder if younger people have similar reverence for their grooves and jams from the 90's, 00's, 10's and 20's. It does seem like music isn't as an important entertainment to today's ears as it was to grandpa Buck's. |

Grand pa Buck and most of the rest of us actually had to get up and go to the record store or sell your future to the Columbia Record and tape club. Today some of the music and paying for it is mindless. |

It really does seem like a generational loop though, as you age out of what's hip you stop keeping track of popular culture, and I'll probably find myself in 2054 asking, "do these kids really appreciate music like we did in the 2010s?!" |

Their tastes are quite different, too, and with the magic of Spotify they've both discovered older music that they love. Matthew has quite the classic rock playlist on Spotify, and is still stoked from the Childish Gambino concert he went to this week. Daniel loves Janet Jackson and Charlie XCX, and his favorite BOC tracks are Shooting Shark and Perfect Water. Quite the taste spectrum. |

Like Rob's kids my 31 yr old daughter and 29 yr old son run the gamut as far as what they like. And they're quick to agree or disagree with my opinions whichever way it goes....trying to say they're honest about it. There's newer stuff of theirs I just can't listen to, but they've turned me onto a lot of new music I like. And I'm most proud to say they are both BOC fans...even turning their friends their age onto BOC as well. It makes for fun and interesting get togethers say where Cindy and I and their friends are all invited over for something. And you've got three generations talking about BOC being such a great band! (Well I may be indoctrinating the grandbabies but they do like it!). Bottom line is at least some from the current generation are very much into their music...and I'm happy to say at least some of the music of their parents...more than I would have expected...

I reflexively was about to answer “as a young person” and forgot I’m going to turn 40 and maybe don’t have the perspective being looked for lol. But I also didn’t start listening to contemporary music until I was a teenager anyway, and just listened to my dad’s 70’s rock, R&B and soul records and classical music mostly. So what I grew up with predated me by at least a decade anyway. |

It does seem like music isn't as an important entertainment to today's ears as it was to grandpa Buck's. My adult children (36 and 33) love music but both recognize that I grew up during the golden age of pop music. I have older brothers, so I was heavily influenced with 50’s and 60’s top 40 and 70’s album rock. My sense is that the quality dropped off starting with disco and new wave, then rap and hip hop. Now, if one loves that stuff, then they could argue that music just got better and better. But I beg to differ. To me, the best years for pop music were 66-67-68. |
