Some good stuff there.
Seventies music was brilliant.
Of course, everybody thinks that the music from their teens was brilliant.
Probably the hormones.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Yes, but music is shit now Piggy.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Contemporary pop music is dreadful today and tbh probably always has been. I very rarely listen to the music I loved in the 70's and 80's. I'd prefer not to be stuck in a time loop and have my ears treated to something that doesn't just wash over me in a nostagic haze
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.
