When we first got here, we were surprised to hear hard rock in the town squares. Zep, Stones, Skynyrd etc… I’m sure that stuff was abrasive to some people at first. Times change, demographics change, tastes change. I like the station, but not every song. And I think I’ve always felt that way about any station I ever listened to.

That gesture often has nothing to do with what they're shouting about. What do younger people find appealing about it? To me it seems it's a protest against music, against harmony because it's tone deaf, which is the opposite of music. Sure, our music sometimes became more noise than music, too -- think the acid rock of Pink Floyd. I went to a Pink Floyd concert in the early-70's and sat near the front row and it was so loud I thought my ear drums were going to burst and I had to move back it was so painful. Music is supposed to soothe the savage beast. Rap just brings it out. Quote:

The only time I hear the villages station is when I’m in the squares and that’s more then enough . I’ve been hearing the chant “there’s no good music anymore “ since the 40’s and those people are always wrong .there is always good new music to be found if your open to it ,not only in USA but so much international music and so many ways to hear it , I use satellite and Pandora , but there are other ways ,yes I still like to listen to the crooners and big bands , the jazz greats and the 50’s golden oldies , but I also enjoy quite a lot of new music including a younger generation of jazz artists , some rap which is just an extension of jazz, Caribbean music , lots of Latin and international music , maybe if people stopped chanting 2 things I’ve never said “ there’s no good music anymore “ and “ that’s the way we always did it” they might have more fun in there life , I’m 83 still enjoying new sights, new sounds , new foods and always ready to embrace the future and the new things it will offer .

Church music
Good old church hymns for the most part are gone as well. Sad
QUOTE=PugMom;2087159]i think the point is we are getting old. gone are the days of decent rock & roll, & I too, am a tad surprised @ playing rap. but i was curious as to what song exactly. maybe it could pass for R&B, because i've heard lots of that. basically, rap sucks & we are safe from nothing anymore!! :duck:[/QUOTE] |
If you do not listen to Rap how did you know it was a Rap song? I do not believe it was real Rap. Doubt that WVLG was playing Tupac, Big Daddy Kane or any hard rappers. Probably Salt & Peppa, Nellie or worst of all The Black Eyed Peas all notorious hard rapper thugs. Started in the early 60's with music and have enjoyed many genres in my 65 years. Was told I was going to be a murderer because I listened to Steppenwolf, funny that did not happen. Times change and music follows changing demographics of who go to concerts and buy music. Can not believe that one song overrides the majority of songs you hear. Like not going to a restaurant that serves an item on the menu that you do not like. Oh well pay for a streaming service and only listen to the one channel you like.

If you moved here in 1992 at age 55 you're hopefully 85 now, so you'd have been born pre WWII and listened to big band,the famous crooners, country and western, early rock n roll, r&b, etc. If you moved here in 2022 at age 55 you'd have been born in the Woodstock era and grew up listening to hard rock, punk, disco, pop, new country, grunge and yes, even rap. The station programs for the demo. Unfortunately you're on the side of the demo where there are less and less of you every day. |
