Music of the Future

I picked up a magazine yesterday called "Future Music". Needless to say, the future music sounds a bit computery. People have asked "There was Jazz, Rock, Rap... What comes next?" The answer is silence. In our future, our timeline, there is no music. People are too busy searching for food & fuel to get familiar with a gitar.

John Titor said that our day of the megastar is soon over. How true that is... See Future Music Prediction.

In the near future, there is the sound of silence as people stop picking up a fiddle or banging on a drum. One question for you. In the good old days of 1776 there was the good old drummer boy. Do you remember any drummer boys in Iraq, on either side?

The drummer boy was there to motivate the men. We still have the phrase, "The drums of war."

One man once said "You can't have a war without a drummer boy." Well, you can. I seriously doubt the Indians had drummer boys. The ancient Greeks played harps into battle. In my grandfather's time people sang songs as they harvested crops, but you do not see the Mexican workers in the fields singing songs now do you? Times change...
