A bit of a Devils Adocate question, yes.

Scene's always seem to burn bright initially, wether they be scene's based around Rock 'n' Roll or whatever.

They are generally run by a group of 'right time, right place' people with enough diligence/insanity regards the music as to cut a new hole in the music scene.

They are on top of the music, they hold sway on the dancefloor, they (due to their understanding of the scene - after all, it is they who basically run it) choose the soundtrack for the devotee's/dancers/bedroom collectors life.

Then comes the point of maturity for us followers.

That moment when people question the information they haved lived their night-life by.

"What about the B Side?" of such a thing - "Why did that get played?", "I've found this by them and it's much better than that, that 'suchabody' is playing!" etc etc

Basically I think I'm asking - are scene's better when run by the 'lunatic fringe' that give their all to furthering said scene? Before us sheep stick our well-thought out second rate views in, after the fact?

This is a tongue in cheek thread lads btw, don't take me too seriously now will you?

hi Barry,yes i think the scene should be run by a central office,by an appointed council.

That would stop interfering busy bodies finding and playing toons that are not approved.

tongue firmly in cheek,tin hat on.

I think you make you point well Barry. IMO it might well have been more exciting at the time (because of our youth as well as it being new) but the scene is now pretty much perfected and has been for years. It's easy to think back and cringe at some of the records that were played early on. The theme tune to Hawaii 5-0 came on the tv the other day and I said to my wife it's hard to believe that we danced to this...typically she denied it! I think with far more records now accessed and new recording medias available it's never been better...but I'd still prefer to be 15 again hearing it for the 1st time. Ade

Blimey, do you mean IT ISN'T????????????????????????

I think all these scenes are doomed to enjoy the most knowledge and best music long after the peak (in terms of popularity, atmosphere etc.) is over.

But that depends on what your best times depend on. I reckon i have as much of a laugh when I go out as any mod in 1964, or soulie at wigan in 1975 etc. so who cares?

Would be nice to experience a scene in it's prime though. I guess i did with that whole house scene though and i dont remember nights out as being better than now.

But Ade, as a piece of music, I still like it.

To move on musically, you really need to listen to things for what they are.
