When I'm out of ideas, I take a walk to the beach, and study the sea, which is never the same, always restless, always playing out its intensely complex beautiful story, with sounds for added pleasure.

I used to from 1959-1965.
It's the greatest feeling in the world - when it happens.

It provides a VAST increase of choice which is balanced, I think, by an increased difficulty of finding what you like. When I was young there were only pop, rock, R&B, country, trad, jazz, classical genres. The industry won't change. It'll still BE either the MAFIA, or people who think they are. They will still be clueless as to the meaning or the making of ART.

Yes, when the cow jumps over the moon. That day.
