    Not a valid comparison, I feel. I may be hindsight, but rap and electronic music came from vibrant underground scenes and to many critics and music fans of the time was seen as at …

    This. GP is just old. I'm 51 one now and almost everyone I know seems to think the same thing. Unless you work at it, music later in life will never evoke the same emotions as thos…

    Lol, I never in a million years expected my project to get 100 users never mind the tens of thousands it now has. Sometimes others make the decision for you ;) it's still your baby…
