My favorite Music

I am in love with the sixties. for lily, it’s the roaring twenties, but for me, it’s the sixties. I love camelot (as the reign of the kennedys was often called), the hippies, the protests, and the major turning points in racial equality. But most of all, i love the music. the beatles, of course, are very high up on my list of favorite musicians. there’s no doubt about it - they were amazing. but my other all-time favorites include Crosby, stills, nash, and young (csn&Y), the kinks, david bowie, buddy holly + the crickets, and the rolling stones - my absolute favorite being Neil young, an absolutely amazing folk singer from the late sixties and early seventies, and a former member of csn&y and buffalo springfield. this is kind of a crazy mash-up, but i just can’t help loving everything. today’s music is so… well, it’s not all horrible, but to me it all sounds the same. and i don’t listen to much of today’s music, except one person you would never expect… eminem! Seriously! i listen to the clean versions, of course. I don’t know why I love eminem, he’s just so talented. a lot of people write off rap because it’s so vulgar, and a lot of it is. some rappers sing absolutely awful songs and somehow get paid for it. you have to try and block out all that crap (the cussing and the grossness, you know??) and listen to the song behind it. sometimes it’s a lot deeper than you think.
