1. Oh, they are not alone. I never really paid close attention to lyrics until more recently

-now that it is so easy to have them come up on Spotify or wherever.

But even more are the songs for which the lyrics and the meaning are incomprehensible. When you try to Google it to see what has been revealed by the singer/songwriter, they claimed to have taken a simple idea and wrapped it around a lot of complexity, so they don't even know today.

But, hey... Journey (and all these bands) had melody, good vocals, and could play their damned instruments (rather than push a digital button to try to generate it)... I just love how the GEN-Z "record producers" who have YouTube channels listen to some of the music of the past, hear a flute (or something else), and refuse to believe they actually brought in those performers for the piece. Geebus.

Oh, well. Stupid lyrics... Yeah, maybe, but listen to the crap coming out today.
