WTF,I just don't get it

[Nzoner]

So I went out last night with 4 other guys ,all much younger than I,for our city's annual Mardi Gras party.We went to 4 different bars and at every single bar it was nothing but hip-hop,hip-hop-and more hip-hop.

Now granted I'm 44 and I saw more than a few people in my age range at each of the bars but what I don't get is wtf is up with these DJ's who play nothing but hip-hop?

I understand the bulk of your customers are into it but there are some of us who would like a little old school or even new rock thrown in from time to time.

Even when I requested a song,it's like,"I don't know man,I'll see if I can get to it."

As a former mobile DJ myself I always let my customers pick the music and although I didn't always agree with what they wanted to hear it wasn't my place not to play what a customer wanted.

I'll stop rambling now,it's just I really hate to think about quitting going out but this is getting really old and maybe therein lies my answer as I'm getting older too and it's either deal with the new or open my own rock-n-roll bar.

What I hate is on rock night... they'll throw in hip hop. On country night, they'll throw in hip hop. But on hip hop night - it's NOTHING but hip hop. ****ers.

Amen. Whatever happened to the good old days when you had good old American rock and roll like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and others.

I am glad that our American forefathers weren't lazy and learned how play guitar, because without guys like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page what little American Rock and Roll we have left, might not be here at all.

Vedera is made up of younger folks but their music really attracts music lovers of all ages. They call it "indie" and pop rock. All I know is, it's really good stuff. (IMO)

They are playing at Starlight Theatre on May 1st, opening for the Fray.

Their next CD is being released by Epic records this summer and the samples I've heard are as good as the stuff on "Weight of an Empty Room".

They are the fastest rising, hottest band out of the Kansas City area. Check 'em out.
