The new talent is there, but there are too few vehicles for artists.
Go back and look at 1960s and 1950s and even 1970s newspapers and check the TV listings. So many variety shows.
Now all we have is American Idol, which is mostly gab & hype, and people doing others' songs, usually not especially well.
Attend folk and blues and jazz festivals, and you'll find talented artists, young and old, who are doing incredible original stuff with a few covers along the way.
Support live music!

A Robbie Krieger interview
Q - One hundred years from now, people will still be playing and listening to "Light My Fire". It's a rock classic. As the writer of that song, how doe*s that make you feel?
A - It's really a great feeling to have written a classic. I think I owe a big debt to Jose Feliciano because he is actually the one, when he did it, everybody started doing it. He did a whole different arrangement on it.

@kclemas This is one of those times when the amateur camera work actually ADDS to the proceedings; I watch this video and feel like I'm THERE. Same for the whistling. Thanks for recording and uploading.

How cool!!!! At 1:41, right in the middle of a solo rife, he tunes the guitar!!!! I love this version.
-
I think this might be my favorite performance of Jose Feliciano and so recent . . .

Why do people press that darn 'dislike' button? It really puzzles me!

@kclemas I like the whistling, it adds to the excitement and enables listeners to get the feel of what was taking place. I may move to Phoenix. Spent last winter there. Loved it. You may want to check out a live version of Ohio by Crosby Stills Nash and Young performed in Canada. The camera person was cheering sometimes. But it really added to the song. (sometimes it works out!!!)

jim morrison would be proud!!

This would have been so good if only the camera person had had the sense to use a tripod. As it is, it's a good way to lose your appetite.

WOW ! That's really different than the original recording! But I think its even better. Jose could never play anything the "wrong" way, he just takes them "up a notch."
this is my favorite of this song. I bet I have listened to it a few times a week over the past year.
