Of course you were first in my\nthoughts when I read the news.  I have been sharing bits and pieces of what\nyou wrote with co-workers all week and the praise for him is universal. \ud83d\ude04\n\nI fear we are entering a time of great loss... As the baby-boomers age, and\nthat post-war fueled creative culture bomb looses more and more of it's\nmembership, it will become so very apparent as to the many contributions\nthey made. No doubt I am colored by bias, but it seems to me that the\ngenerations since just don't burn with the intensity of those born in the\nshadow of war.  The last guy who I asked \"Do you play?\" answered that he had\na full Reaktor rig at home that he had been taking lessons online to learn.\n\nNot to say that EDM isn't creative or anything like that - I've been doing\nthat shit for decades and it is absolutely (or accidentally?) a creative\nendeavor, but it's a far more solitary one.\n\nBut I do wonder what it will be like in 10-20 years... with the Stones doing\ntheir \"Century\" Tour and all... at least nearly everyone involved in\npolitics will be dead by then!<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 11:01 AM To: Kevin Subject: Re: Thoughts on Keith Emerson Thanks for sharing that tribute Kevin.
