Gregg Allman said that kids today know his records alongside of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, whereas when he was growing up we never listened to Tommy Dorsey or Benny Goodman. My nephews and nieces and their friends all have very wide ranges of music from different eras and genres on their Spotify playlists. In the 80's , the head bangers would have never had Journey in their record collection, whereas today, my nephew, has them in with Iron Maiden and Tool. How is new technology like streaming is forming different audiences which enables people's tastes to roam freer?john fremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505620790054721035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597761046378693913.post-8987272474284836622015-09-06T08:31:00.750-07:002015-09-06T08:31:00.750-07:00I remember back in the 1980's a roommate of mi...I remember back in the 1980's a roommate of mine completely perplexed of how one person could have cassette tapes of U2, Prince, Van Halen, Run-DMC and Robert Cray sitting alongside of tapes of country like Bob Wills, <br />and Dwight Yoakam and classic soul from Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. I was also enjoyed the soundtrack Madonna's Who's That Girl? and Debbie Gibson. My roommate was convinced that my tapes were somebody else's because there was no way anyone could really like all of those different musical styles! john fremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505620790054721035noreply@blogger.com
