.by the time Buckingham/Nicks showed up, I had lost interest in them.
Hear hear.
The effort to PR-push their romance was such a blatant coverup of the self-destructive behavior typical in the recording industry (which was affecting that band's members bigtime)...that was causing damage to so many musicians/band members.
I always feel a slight chill reflecting on how many people have been coached systematically to reflect nostalgically on popular music from the '50s on. It is to be considered the "soundtrack of their lives," but those producing it were such degenerates, finding/promoting and destroying the entertainers they literally treated as slaves. And coaching the young and innocent to align with that, and behave that way.
Had a friend whose dream was to be a recording engineer. He made it happen. He left after about two years, seeing what went on inside the big recording studios.
And now these celebrities are trotted out with social, philosophical, political, etc. pronouncements...as though they know anything about anything other than being a cog rewarded by evildoers for doing evil.
Remember how Ian Stewart got passed over as the pianist/keyboardist for The Rolling Stones because, despite his incredible music talent, he was a "square" guy, a family man, who refused drugs and alcohol and sexual degeneracy, and wore polo shirts, and when the band was off whoring and self-destroying, he was looking for whatever the best local golf courses were? Recording studio pronounced him presenting "the wrong image."
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The hippy movement was a psyop against the American people and this nation. So were most of the ism's they have pushed. It all started in the early sixties right along with the changes to the immigration act. I don't think those two events were a coincidence. I think that was when "their" war on America began in earnest although they were at work long before the sixties.
My teacher had an interesting point on exactly what you're saying. He was born in 1920 and taught his entire career at a military college (40+ years). He observed on several occasions how popular music used to consist of genres, but everyone listened to them in common. It wasn't till Frank Sinatra in the 1940s--he said--that music was created and marketed specifically for an age-based group (I think they were called "bobbysoxers," for the socks the girls wore), and from there popular music became a divisive commerical force to drive wedges between family members.
By the 1950s that was well along with promotion of of degeneracy (beatnik, hood, and sexual frenzy subcultures). Then as you say by the early 1960s, it was being lined up with various other policy and opinion projects to create "age demographics."
I always hated that stuff. Just an excuse to drive family members against one another, as my teacher said. The idea that I have more in common with someone because of the accident of our birth-year, than with someone 20 years older or younger in my family...it's despicable. A potent weapon though, for those seeking control.
