I recently hired a millenial who has a passion for all things music. Her 50’s something parents introduced her to their era of late 70’s classic rock but I have had the pleasure of taking her backward another decade. She is very enthusiastic and willing to put up with my stories of seeing Hendrix, Big Brother, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, the Who, Moody Blues, John Mayall and countless others in concert ( I was the music editor for my high school newspaper) and we have spent hours spinning vinyl together. Not only has this allowed me to re- visit some albums I have not listened to in years but we have dug deeper into some discography I never heard back then. As a quid pro quo, she has introduced me to many new performers she has discovered playing the smaller venues in our area.
It is called Classic Rock for a reason - it can still be new and interesting to an entirely new generation of listeners.
