The age range of good bands and their audiences where I live is enormous.
Rick, you are dead on with this assessment of Thee Current Times.
Ten years ago, I couldn't stand pretty much any band from the twin cities, and for the past six years I've been curating a three-day festival every year featuring anywhere from 20-30 interesting acts from my area alone, and every year the amount of good music we have to leave off the festival due to time constraints only grows. I know it's like this in other places too.
Age feels like it matters less now than it ever has, too, which is great. Some of our "best friend bands" are nearly young enough to be our kids, and I feel zero division.
