I was listening to my John Prine album from 1971 and realized how much comfort music has been to me throughout my life especially going back to touchstone music during tough times.
So I got to wondering about what the touchstone albums / artists for Millennials / GenZ and other American generations will be in 40 to 50 years. I'll ask my adult children, but they grew up listening to my old albums, so there might be a lot of overlap with my tastes.
Also I wondered about my friends who have been in the USA a long time, but not until they were in their late 40's. Do they have memorable music and artists from their young adult years that they go back and listen to? I mean, does somebody from say, Malaysia or Japan have music from their native country that is important to them? Will a musician from their country ever get the kind of send-up that John Prine has received in the media this week?
