We recently came across this insightful op-ed in the Huffington Post entitled "The Generation That Killed Rock 'n Roll" by author/singer-songwriter Nathan Harden.  The title is what initially caught our eye, but the author’s arguments and conclusion is what make it a compelling read.  For example, take this excerpt:

Today, fewer artists are being offered record deals; and new artists are being set aside if they fail to achieve quick success. As a result, the music of an entire generation is being muffled. Many of today's would-be Dylans and Springsteens remain lost in obscurity. We will never hear their songs.

We encourage folks to check out the entire piece and consider what they're missing out on.
