MAGAs do not want to share the world with anyone else. Not sharing is the point of the movement
Nous mentioned the soundtrack by which his students live. I have the impression that people form their musical tastes early and tend to stick fairly closely for the rest of their lives.
That's my experience. I have expanded by learning new artists, but the sound is all in the country/rock/folk/blues range.
It seems bizarre now but when I was in high school, parties consisted of groups of young people in someone's apartment near campus, stoned and silent while listening intently to music. That's how I heard Abraxis, Abbey Road, American Beauty, Volunteers.
The idea of getting together at someone's home to listen to records seems utterly incongruent now.
Times change.
I was standing in the grocery the other day when I heard Mick Jagger wailing, "You're enough to make a dead man come!" And I thought, "In about ten years, that will be nursing home music."

Well, I've gone from having no clue who he was to having a great deal of respect! Thank you for all the insights, LJ. That's said, I don't like the music. If there wasn't a video to watch, I think the music would be repetitious to the point of boredom or annoyance--but that's my reaction to the sound, not to BB as a person, his lyrics, or the message.
