Comment:

Just another tribute/meditation on the art of the "pop song". Where did it go? Well, it was clearly in full throttle in the 1970s, weaving itself in between Kent State, Watergate and the bicentennial. The dearth of the genre can be traced to many things, such as sophisticated radio programming technology, impatience on the part of the radio industry to cultivate and develop product, but mostly, I think, because record companies and the radio industries are now run and managed by MBAs who know zilch about music but plenty about profit. As with most thngs, capitalism eventually cannibalizes anything and everything precious to itself. A plague upon their kingdom for all I care at this point...Of course, some would argue that many of these tracks represent a bloated, outdated era that needs no such re-visit. I disagree. Just sit back and listen to the music...
