Technology and the demise of live music



There were so many great bands and music which came out in the 70 and 80's..........it was quite a different world then.  No computers, internet, video games and gaming consoles. When people wanted entertainment they went out to see a band live, and the culture of live music was alive and kicking. Sadly this is what is missing from todays culture, as technological self entertainment has usurped the live music scene as the preferred option for cultural interaction......and not to mention poker machines replacing the areas that used to be for live entertainment. Nevertheless, many great bands from those years are 'reuniting' and getting back on the road.
Its a strange world we live in as technology expands exponentially. Strange but still good. Its an exciting time to be alive right now. Be good to each other. Its all we've got. - SR
