I am deeply ashamed to admit that I never got around to exploring his output during his life.  That being typed, I just picked up Safe As Milk today.  I think a very long and verrrrrry intense love affair is blooming.

RIP.

They do ... and are out there ... but a board like this one has to be open to it, and appreciate it ... and we have to do more to make sure the new artists can get respect and some credit.
 
But it can't happen when we are stuck on the oldies and defining the oldies ... instead of turning our ears more towards the newbies!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
