The best music yet to come?
>>I certainly think some of the best music ever written lies in our past, but I'm far from depressed...
I pretty much agree with this. Rock hit its artisan peak in 1973 and 1974. Jazz hit its artisan peak a few years later.
Having said that, I'm somewhat of a Fripp disciple in that no one creates music. Music is a language all its own in all of its nearly infinite possibilities. No one creates the music because it already exists both in theory and in possibility. Only the most hardheaded idiot thinks they came up with something clever or whatever because ultimately they think they are doing something which already exists. Sorry, some people don't like looking at things that way. Just the same, the honest person who is channelling or playing the music can certainly add his or her own stamp or signature to what they are playing.
I know.
