I am impressed with your self-analysis and thoughtful interpretation. When people impose an internal limit is when deterioration takes hold. As for me, I make it a mission for improving my self each day. I am older than most people but it’s not an impediment for growth, in fact, its an advantage as I now have the time and money to act on all those wildass ideas I possessed at a earlier time in my life... such as expanding my appreciation of music that I previously avoided, taking chances because I no longer care what others think, and purposefully putting myself in a challenging situation so that I can understand the core of my actions and reactions.

You provided some excellent insight with your thought out article... thanks.

Now, let’s go into the abyss with Sid Vicious and Mike Ness, it will be a fun ride!

Thank you very much, IP. I agree with every word you said in terms of imposing internal limits. I think it’s great that you’re taking advantage of your well-earned time and resources to indulge in your interests and continue to evolve. What else was all your hard work for anyway, right?

I hadn’t thought about that song for a long time. Actually maybe never. You coordinated it into a thoughtful piece though so good on you. Of course your analysis is spot on. I’m a Boomer but still find you uncommonly insightful. 😊

It’s never too late and it’s our personal choice to become stuck in ruts (music or otherwise). 💕 While I remain fond of the music I grew up with, there is still SO much great music being made.

Excellent article, Sonny.

Thanks so much, Sheila. And I’m with you 100%. While there’s tons of great stuff from our past to revisit, there’s plenty of amazing work today that people of all tastes can learn from and be inspired by. It’s completely up to us to evolve over time. Only our apathy can stop us!
