I'm 64, raised on rock 'n roll of the '50s, early '60s variety. And it's about all I've listended to since.
There was some good stuff in the '70s and '80s but for the most part, I stopped buying and listening to current music about 1970 when it turned into so much noise. In particular, I could not stand one single minute of Heavy Metal and related shit.
So here comes BudSr with a post in Rugger's All Clan member meeting and with it a vid of Ozzy Osbourne singing "Changes." Now all I know about this whack job is that he bit the head off a bat or something, and killed off millions of brain cells with heavy drug use. I watched the TV series on his home life because it was some funny shit, so, I thought what the hell, I'll click on that vid to see what this guy sounded like - never heard him before.
What I expected was some loser out of tune screaming at people. But what I heard was a great voice, a lot of passion, and very, very surprising to me, a song I really liked. I played it twice. Then I played it again.
I now realize I probably missed out on a lot of good music during those decades by refusing to listen to it. And so I'm going to pay more attention to some of this stuff, at least with a more open mind. And thanks BudSr for turning me onto it. I prob. won't like most of what Ozzy and contemporaries did but that song was captivating. Or maybe I'm just regressing due to old age...
