I just said i never encountered it before till that movie and that was only last year. It is FOREIGN to me. That does not mean i like or dislike. It is foreign to me. It is as distant as the dinosaurs are to me. And i am allowed to like what you consider poison. No one need to insult what they do not like.
It was something of an acquired taste so your reaction didn't surprise me at all. I don't think that psychedelic music will stand the test of time because it was a product of very specific set of circumstances. Neither did the reaction of Eric the Obtuse since he always tends to get defensive about that era.
Silly thing is he obviously assumes i hate it. I don't. There is a difference between foreign and hating. I am detached from it. It is an odd sound to me. Does not mean i hate it. I have not decided yet It may as well be Chinese music as neither sound makes sense no influenced me. I do not think he will understand that though. He lived in different times and that generational bridge will never be crossed for him to understand my position. He cannot say i have not tried it and he cannot say i did not like one of the posts of that music he made. To me that music is just different and a bit of a question mark for me. I am not going around though saying his music is poison. Not insulting it one bit. That is the difference. I just occasionally say no not into it and then i move on. No insulting of what he likes, no insults of the songs, or the era they are from.
Its a Prophet thing. They have received the Word of God and so the rest of us must conform. They always were nasty little tyrants. Eric the Obtuse is not nearly as enlightened as he thinks. Can't really distinguish facts from subjective taste.
The seventies to me always had a surreal quality to it even if though I didn't use any of the common recreational pharmaceuticals. It was a decade I would just as soon done without.
