"Nor is there anything exclusively antipodean in this sudden hankering for bygone eras."
And so David Cohen writes about what he sees as wrong with today's music press, in
the "UA Syndrome and death of rock'n'roll mags."
Addendum: Well, David, I suspected an arts piece in a business magazine might not look generously at certain (anti-consumer) bygone eras and I understand the lack of warm and fuzzy longing. You're tired of hearing about them. But maybe, just maybe, some of those people and the culture they created had something significant going on, even though they didn't have the cash register ka-ching of cell phones and ring tones.
