That Dying Fall

Its strange how people's taste in music change. Was just corresponding with a friend in Orkut. Haven't met him for a good 5 years or more, and it was interesting to see how his musical tastes have gone in a certain traectory...not surprising given what he was listning to then...he's listening to The Clash, Talevision, The Smiths (the intelligent punks) ...a logical progression from The Beatles, Stones and the Who which he used to listen to then...still does probably. I started out in roughly the same place and now listen toThe Band, Blind Willie McTell, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly (bluesmen), cool jazz and generally old trad American stuff (a Jack Kerouac heritage) and then stuff like Paul Weller, Traffic, etc. I guess musical geneologies manifest themselves in people in ways music critics will never be able to put their fingers on...
