I'm constantly reminded of how the world has changed during my lifetime. When I was young we wrote letters as a matter of course. Computers were the size of a room. As a teenager I played Pong Tennis on TV with my older brothers on the family TV set. We considered it state of the art. People communicated on a regular basis by writing letters which they took loving care of the creation of. Went and purchased an envelope and stamp for and posted lovingly. Now people get together and split up online without ever having actually met ...
I've worken upthis morning and listened to Doors and Peter Gabriel albums on my record player. Old school! Strange how everybodyis going back to old school. And no wonder. Now I'm listening to Band of Horses ' Everything All The Time' on Spotify on my TV screen. I can't remember which year it came out so I check it on my phone. I don't wish to become one of those 'when I was young' types. But you had to work harder back then.That's for sure.
Band of Horses are one of the pack that clearly yearn for those olden, golden days. In their minds they are touring the States in support of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in 1971.. The record's OK. We all yearn for simplicity I'd say.
