I have always wanted to go back and re-examine rock music. To return to the old albums and bands of my youth. To listen to the old music with more experienced ears. How will Jefferson Airplane sound to my 50-plus year old ears? What about Jimi Hendrix? Will the beatles still be fresh and exciting? Are the Rolling Stones still bad boys? How will this all pan out?
I will go back and give the old albums new listens. I will examine each in its own context and time. I will look at all kinds of music like soul, acid rock, folk rock, surf music, garage, progressive, grunge, fusion, jazz and whatever you can think of. I will re-listen to the British Invasion, the undergound music, Woodstock, protest music and so many more. I can't wait to put on my Sennheiser headphones and crank up Jethro Tull, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Donavan, the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, Sonny and Cher, Phil Spector and countless others.
So fasten your seatbelts and grad a tight hold onto your seats. This should be something. And I can assure you that this journey will, like the music itself, be fun.
