Am I in the Children's/Juniors section? U don't know Leonard Cohen, OMG!!
Question: I feel like if there were a Juniors section of Y!A like there are in department stores...... this would be it!
I'm surrounded by Miley Cyrus fans and people who don't know who Leonard Cohen is!
Help! I think I'm drowning in a sea of uneducated music aficionados!
Teens: Resist what media shoves down your throat and tells you is good! Media are money grubbing whores that will sell you anything and you won’t even know they’ve done it. Don’t be like one of the NKOTB fans of my era, who now realize the error of their ways. Be conscious, do not sleep walk though this world! Seek good, innovative, creative music to enhance your lives.

Answer: No, you're in Entertainment & Music! Thanks for asking. :-)
I heard something about him touring soon, whoever he is. :-)
What about Leon Redbone, Dr. John, Leon Russell, Shawn Phillips, Ry Cooder, Lowell George, John Mayall, Peter Green, Sid Barrett, Leo Kottke, arrrgh!
There I go depressing myself again, get enough of that from outside, gotta quit! Bye now! Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Did some checking. Tour dates in Canada and Europe have been announced Beginning May 11th New Brunswick working his way across Canada all of May and June, then Ireland, England, back to Quebec, then England. July and August all over Europe. No U.S. dates announced yet.
Also supposed to release a new studio album by the end of the year.
wth and who is leaonard whatever?
calm down there buddy...you can lead the sheeple to music; but you can't make 'emappreciate good music...
leonard cohen is fantastic...you and i know it (along with many many other people)...so let's just relax and listen to 'bird on a wire', 'famous blue raincoat, 'first we take manhattan' and all the rest, k?...
c'mon...i'll buy the first round...
You have only seen the tip of the iceberg. It is astonishing how many teens today have never heard an opera, or classical music, or chamber music, are amazed to learn that in a ballet there is no dialogue, etc.etc.etc. They are indeed growing up with blinkers on, and more's the pity as the current crop of 'musicians' certainly doesn't have much to recommend it.
They probably have no clue who Frank Zappa is either.
You may very well be in the Miley Cyrus section! Personally, I cannot stand her and cringe when I hear one of her songs somewhere.
I prefer band, big bang & swing music. Perferably from the early 1900's. This is where it all began. All I have to say is Bessie Smith, Lena Horne, Count Bassie & Ella Fitzgerald...
