Might be doxxed, but then again, meh. This isn’t that hot of a topic.
My godfather is Guy Gelso.
>literally who?
He’s the drummer for an 80’s rock band called Zebra. They had two hits in the early 80’s. They were New Orleans answer to Led Zeplin.checknout “Who’s behind the Door” and “Tell me what you want.”
Anyway, guy was really close friends with my mom’s family, having grown up in the same neighborhood. He was in a band with my uncles, and they remained friends until both of my uncles passed.
These people didn’t just get together with a case of beer and fart around in someone’s garage, jamming to the latest top ten hits. They practiced the living hell out of playing. And not just random songs, but drills and pieces of music that didn’t quite fit a particular song. They put as many hours into playing instruments that modern kids put into video games.
It’s understandable, as every other aspect of the boomers life was guaranteed. Job? Wife? Family? House? Car? Healthcare? It was all a given, so leisure time could actually be focused on. Sure, people still do that, but not nearly as many.
Music has become a refined, processed commodity. It really hasn’t changed in the last 15 or 20 years, especially pop music. “Poker Face” came out in 2008 but if it was released today it would fit right in with everything else. Would Zebra fit in with Nirvana or Soundgarden?
