If you think the state of musical creativity is healthy, and that today's songwriters are synthesizing past influences to build something harder, better, faster, stronger ... that's 'cause you're dumb. At least, so says today's Bigmouth...I often think throughout the centuries people have gotten stupider -- you can see it in art, actually. No one can paint anymore like they used to paint in the Middle Ages. I think the same has happened with music. No one can write songs like they did in the '60s, 'cause I guess people don't care as much or something. There's a kind of spirit that existed there that doesn't quite seem to exist now in songwriting or anything else. I guess people aren't as hungry as they were then.
Name that proponent of the devolution theory, take the jump to see if you're right. But if you were born after the '60s, don't bother, stupid.
