I'm sure they do; I'll admit I'm something of an old crusty when it comes to music. I'm sure that there is probably a mass market in the underground rave market (is that word passe yet?), but I'll admit not knowing a great deal about it - these bones weren't built for dancin'. I'll admit a longing for the early days of the 80s when experimentation was cool - the Police the Art of Noise, King Crimson. Nowadays most popular music seems so ... old. And as regards guitar players, I find it sad that most of my guitar "heroes" form two distinct sets - British from pre-1980 (Summers, Fripp, Holdsworth, Mike Oldfield etc) and US post-1980 (Torn, Frizell etc)... Michael Old beyond his 27 years.
