Poor old Bob...I never got him.

The "good old days"(the 60's) were something...6 channel mono Shure Vocalmasters...no monitors...no compression...a reverb and maby an Echoplex...high impedance 585's were the standard. 2" tape and a 4 track board.

It was a step in the progression of an art form. To say that music went down the tubes is evidence of senility on old Bob's part. But, he's probably too rich to really give a damn. To discount the significance and talent of Foreplay, John Mayer, Corine Baliey Ray and a host of others is just stupid.

As far as recording technique and equipment goes, that's the state of the art today. It will be different next year. The thing is, music is changing and there's a new batch of real talent each year. At least that's the way I see it.

As far as biggotry...it's still there, but in
a less obvious form, sometimes. And that may be more dangerous and damaging.

Old Bob should be glad he was a product of the 60's folk era. He wouldn't have a shot today.

He has a bad case of "sour grapes".
