re: I do get to see both Roger Waters and Steely Dan this summer though...

Never saw Steely Dan... past my time I guess. But I like them.

re: There are still a few good young bands out there --

There was an explosion of great bands in the late 60's early 70's. It was a great time for music... but I suspect it was also a great time for angst. And that's what made for the creativity.

A big part of that was probably Vietnam... why that isn't repeating with Iraq, I don't know. Why don't the kids care?

PS I saw Led Zeppelin in their fist US tour... they were a back up band, if you can believe it (Kinetic Playground in Chicago, backing up Richie Havens).
