Whither Music?

I bought a Pink Floyd cd today. That requires an oily explanation. Spurred by Jonathan Coe and Tony Euler, there have been murmurs of interest in progressive rock and a general overview of popular music from the 1970s for some time now.

Dismissive sweeps which eject entire decades are a fool's hobby, Early in my adult life I was allowed to appreciate much of the singer-songwriter idiom from that much maligned decade of my birth: Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Lou Reed and of course Bowie were the phalanx of my exposure.

I have a corresponding interest in films from the late 1930s through WWII which will likely benefit from some proper formatting in establishing the syllogism of meaning in the dust of my faculties.
