Why does music of the last 100 years suck?

What he's really up to:

Bwaaaah! Dammit Bobby!

Andre Segovia was born in the 19th century and had respect for the Masters before him. By "music of the last 100 years," I mean contemporary forms of music separate from classical-rock, blues, country, certain jazz. . . basically anything devoid of good harmony.

You guys should read some of the comments Segovia made about rock music and electric guitar in general.

I may be young, and I may not be very wise, but wisdom is neither a product nor an entitlement of age. Wisdom is passed on by the previous generations down through the ages.


If Segovia said one thing, and you say another, I'd rather side with Segovia.


(Ozzy Osbourne died today. RIP)

Segovia was great, but it doesn't make everything he said saintly. His observations were likely as much envy of the MUCH greater commercial success of amplified popular music as they were informed judgments - which is understandable. Must suck to see people with less skill earn millions when you earn thousands. That's the way it goes with popular music though.

I see you are posting from the UAE; are you the son of a sheik or an emir?

Pretty sure he said he was from Argentina, and U.A.E. was some "clever" thing in Spanish he thought up. I think Joe banned him for trolling, btw.
