I used to listen to Bonnie Raitt back in the late sixties. She would play for fraternity parties at UCLA. She follows Pete Seger and Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. I wonder why young people today listen to Gangsta or Rap music. Woody Guthrie and the like lead the way for labor and the anti-war movement. I am surprised that young people are so apathetic. It will be there world. They need to united and become aware of what is really at stake - their future.

Not all young people are listening to Gangsta music or Britney Spears. Some are listening to James McMurtry, son of novelist and screenwriter, Larry McMurtry, of "Lonesome Dove" and "Brokeback Mountain" fame. James can reach right out and grab real life and put it into a song. Modern-day Americana at its best.
