Pirate Radio

OK. Personal opinion here… but… the first half of this movie was written by a 10 year old boy for an 8 year old boy [well, British humor… you know. What can a person expect? Outside of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (the books. The 1st and 3rd books.) Red Dwarf, Dr. Who, the Avengers, Sherlock Holmes… The Brits would have nothing to show for themselves on the literary front ;-P]

But the last half hour or so… lots of mid 60s music. Lot of love of good old Rock & Roll, and LPs, and Music with a capital M. I was literally going to just stop watching the movie entirely but I am glad I didn’t [I kind of expected a documentary-style semi-fictional account of some very interesting times… instead what we get is a parody].

Funny, when I hear a lot of 60s music [okay, a little early 70s too] I wonder what we would really miss is we just lopped off the last 45 years of music altogether. Sometimes I do not feel this way… But… seriously – is what we have these days is a wasteland with a few oasis scattered about here and there? Or am I just a product of my generation? [or are the people who disagree just a product of THEIR generation and all music really HAS been pale derivatives and shadows of 60s music since then?]
