'Seven Ages Of Rock'

[Rammpants]

Yep, I think part of the reason why certain periods/styles remain so culturally dominant is surely down to the extent it was documented. The lasting appeal of baby boomer generation 'classic' rock (and everything else that's followed) goes hand in hand with the emergence of not just better technology, not just wider access to that technology, but also an emerging self-awareness by that generation of it's own (debatable) importance.

Just watched the show and I thought it was much drearier than its premise - and it's not just the technology. Wheeling out Charles Shaar fucking arse twat smug twat Murray again. And he was the consultant. You know you're in trouble when he's your main source. Keith Altham, Roger Daltrey, Barry Miles and half a dozen of the obvious suspects. Didn't seem to be anything new in there at all. And sticking Hendrix at the heart of it seemed gimmicky at best.

I'll still watch the rest of them of course.
