Ive noticed the band ads are calling for 90's/2K's and beyond. What happened to 60's/70's/80's lol ?

The last band I started in 2011 was playing hard rock and alternative from the 90s and later. We were early. We were basically the only band in the STL area doing that shit exclusively. When I shut that band down in 2016, about a year later those bands playing that shit were all over.

It was only a matter of time until the regular drunk fucks in bars stopped wanting to hear more Skynard.

Not sure how many cover bands are operating in your area but here there is many. It's not that I don't like sublime, it's that I get sick of bands that all seem to draw from the same set list that can't be more than a 100 various songs, all of which have been covered to death. Basically, Fleetwood Mac and Sublime. I reject bands that cover all the same music and of course it's always material whose technical demands are lowest common denominator.
 
been doing my retirement numbers for awhile, one of the monte carlo simulators I use is called "rich, broke or dead".

you have to put your age, and how long you expect to live, and it creates an interactive grid that you can check probability percentage values at each age for: above current value, at current value, below current value, broke, dead. As I go up the age, the probability of death increases and is larger than all the other values starting at around 70 years old.

very sobering. probably less than 25 years to go

not as many "traditional" cover bands as ill call them, the bars would rather pay a DJ. there is a huge jam, neo-funk and grateful dead scene here though where everyone plays PRS's and the hippie chicks love coke.

I hate jam bands, neo funk, and grateful dead tributes. All tributes suck actually but there is a lot of that junk here too. I call jam bands go-nowhere music. The same people who criticize blues for being three chords then go play two chord songs with no lyrics in them. :LOL:
