Talent or tradition?

chiy6b8u8aesdy_ Monday saw the announcement of what many are calling the concert of the century, which century is not clear. Maxim branded it “‘OLDCHELLA’ mega concert.

I just don’t get it. I admit, apart from McCartney, mostly from his Beatles era stuff, I was never a fan of any of these bands. Among our joint collection of some 20,000 albums, singles, and digital files, we only have around 100 from these artists, and the majority are Beatles.

Hopefully the ridiculously price includes insurance in case any of them die on stage during performances. Seriously, I don’t get this fascination with old bands. I understand they got ripped off by record companies when they were kids, and are now broke(not) and need supporting, but heck most of this lot are British and they get pensions, and free medical care for life…

There are a ton of young bands out there you can help with $1,000… have a look on kickstarter and Indiegogo etc. Become a producer, help create the next generation of bands, leave a legacy instead of putting more money into some rich pop stars who don’t need it.

I did this back in 2014 and would/will do it again, I was Executive Producer for Toyface first ever full album, Follow the rules of the trainwreck.

Support emerging artists, you know “oldchella” won’t really live up to your expectations.
