Fine statement. I´m a bit sorry for the DJ generation. We old ones (ha ha)
listened to songs in our youth that half the world listens to still today
(because today there are only few songs of similar quality), and we can
play them on piano, on gittar on the beach or even hum when working.
Poor children who must share their favourite music with daddy...   ;-)
Or - lucky children, they can access almost every album existing at once.
Remember it took 20 years for the next Steely Dan album.

Good night,
