your statement has many exceptions. It may be true that many of my my my generation (the same as Roger Daltry) have lost their critical faculties, but not necessarily have I.
Question Mr. Late: seen any Marlon Brandos lately? How about Elizabeth Taylors? OK, how about Lawrence Oliviers? Pacinos? De Niros?
By the way, many of the same things that floated my boat as a young man still do: women; sailboats; film, etc.
Yeah, you can say every generation disrespects the art or cultural offerings of the ones that follow, but sometimes such negativity has merit. Painting after Jackson Pollock. "Serious" music composition post-Stravinsky, Mahler. Strauss. Film, post-Kubrick, Bertollucci; Altman. Rock, post-70's (pick your poison there...). Ballet post Balanchine, Martha Stewart, Nureyev, Baryshnikov..well, you get the idea. The idea that the productivity of all generations is somehow equal is interesting, but not borne out.
