[bomp] Re: Neil Young Admits Music Can't Change World

[hoodoo3005@xxxxxxx]

At a certain point, music was such a huge focus for so many kids 
that it had a huge amount of power to influence their thinking.  Now, other 
forms of entertainment vie for people's attention.  Example:  Cell phones, 
IMing, texting, YouTube, Facebook (trust me, most of my high school students 
no longer bother with MySpace), and games, to name a few.  These things did 
not exist at that point in time.  So while music is still all-important to a 
few kids, it's only part of what influences them.


While I agree with you, I don't know if I'd call IMing, texting and cell phones "entertainment."
