WHAT'S WRONG WITH TODAY'S MUSIC? - Eugene M Walter - June 1968

Eugene M Walter

Does music have a purpose? How can you recognize GOOD music? Here's the truth about "psychedelic," protest-rock, pop-rock and similar types of modern music. "I'm a goin' outta myyyyyyyy HEAD!" wails a voice from the radio to the beat of a nerve wracking pandemonium that seems designed to drive the shocked listener insane, too. A quick flick of the dial and a singing group is heard. But the raucous noise emitted by the "singers" is no match for the loud, odious din coming from the instruments. The words are completely lost - which may not be regrettable - and the whole tumult sounds more like bad static than music. You turn the dial again. This time you can scarcely believe your ears. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
