Well to be honest I suppose pop ceased to qualify as music sometime in the late 70s early 80s, the same could be said of quite a lot of classical in the same period.

To my mid pop died when they started manufacturing groups. In the old days kids learned to sing at school and at church. They got hold of old guitars and taught themselves or if they were lucky took piano lesson. Maybe they played in a school or boys brigade band. They in effect took an apprenticeship. Nowadays they shove a mic in the their hands and tell them they are great. I am not even going to go into rap.

I was talking about a time when you had the Fleetwoods,
the Beach Boys, Rick Nelson, Round Robin, Leslie Gore, and
more old favorites of the late 50s and early 60s. Even the
country music of that day consisted of Loretta Lynn, Patsy
Cline and even Marty Robbins. I cried when Marty Robbins
died thirty years ago.

Not so Teddy, although divorce can be a consequence thereof!

I miss the days when children would aotomatically call adults Mr or Mrs rather than assume it is alright to use their christian names. Favoured adults would be addresses with the honorary title of Uncle or Auntie. As childrem we would no more address an adult in such a familiar fashion as most children do nowadays as fly to the moon. Still, I suppose good manners are out of fashion.

teddy, I suppose it all comes back to respect, the old saying 'familiarity breeds contempt' is pretty close to the mark as are the majority of old sayings that are born out of experience a few spring to mind:
spare the rod and spoil the child
a Leopard can't change its spots
give me a child until 5 years old and I have him for life etc
I mentioned this one before [a father in NZ was prosecuted for flicking his sons ear when the child "about 6 years old" had ridden his small bike onto a road when told not to] the Courts now admit they were wrong to prosecute, be interesting to see what happens I think the Father is taking action but who knows what if anything will happen.

Anyone remember when Doctors would visit you at home. When listening to your troubles was part of their brief, because it might uncover the underlying problem. When you did not have to dial a premium rate number to get through to the surgery. When necessary drugs were available, because you had paid into the NHS all your life and were therefore entitled to them. And when nurses nursed, instead of pushing pieces of paper around. Beam me up Mr Scott. I am ready for liftoff.

This is for anyone who, like me, used to listen to Radio Luxumberg.

When in the RAF I spent 30 months in the middle east, used to listen to Voice of America every evening, 2 hours of big band and jazz.
