IVIV music

[malignd at aol.com]

In the sixties we all gave up hootenannies and round singing and glee 
clubs and doo wop on the corner and church choirs for records?  This 
was in the sixties!?  I'm so out of it ...

lnherent Vice, the big drop in music quality came at some point in the 
60s when we abandoned making our own music and 
performing/listening/singing to it in groups and for free, and instead 
started isolating ourselves with headphones and privately stimulating 
ourselves with music that we pay for.
