"America and Chicago (early stuff). I loved them as a kid. But when I went back as an adult I was amazed at how bad the lyrics were."I find that to be the case with *all* rock lyrics. The lyrics of Dylan, The Beatles, Stones, The Who, et al., ring dated and shallow, likewise their music. To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, when it comes to musical sophistication, there's no there, there. That's why a hundred years hence people will still be listening to Ellington, Miles Davis, Bach and Beethoven but not Led Zep. Sophisticated rock music is an oxymoron. It can dazzle a seventeen-year-old but most of us grow up to cultivate a more demanding musical palate, if you will.
