I heard a band play Sunday night. I don't even know what they called themselves. They were all in their early 20's I guess. I think they played more than one song, but I can't be sure. To me, it sounded like one long jam with no discernable melody to the song. I'm not saying they weren't talented. They obviously knew their way around their instruments. What got to me was their choice of music. No variety gets boring pretty quickly to me.
Actually, the whole jam band movement is lost on me. Maybe it's because I'm older than the average fan of the genre. Maybe it's because I don't use drugs. Whatever the reason, I have no use for ten minute guitar solos that don't advance the melody of the song.
Do you know what the Grateful Dead fan said when he ran out of dope? "Hey, this music sucks."
