post twenty-six:music meaning.

I may have posted about this earlier, but I think musicians need to write with feeling instead of trying to one-up each other, like they did in the late sixties. The Doors tried to one-up Pink Floyd, who tried to beat Hendrix, who tried to beat The Beatles, who tried to one-up The Beach Boys, who also tried to one up The Beatles.
Music seems like it was more of a competition than anything, and while the business is very competitive, I don't think that you can have music without putting some kind of feeling into it. Because when you try to be better than someone else and lose the true meaning of song lyrics, it ends up being less music and more noise.
