It's still around, you just have to find it. As a plus, many of the hippies now bathe regularly.

But if you want music that expresses emotion best, you should look into opera or at least showtunes.

Must be looking at the wrong places, because most of the girls I see on the streets want at least $20 . (Not that I know from personal experience, but I do work in a probation office so I know about what's going on).

As far as showtunes, I got hooked when I first heard the main title to Star Wars on the radio. Some dj played it (I'm talking about the original combined Version with the main title and the ending credits), and I've been hooked on John Williams ever since. There are other good composers, namely Jerry Goldsmith and every once in awhile James Horner, but I've managed to collect almost everything Williams has done on CD. Not too crazy about his 60's and early 70's stuff, which has a lot of jazzy stuff going on. I can't wait to hear what he's going to do for Star Wars 3, and maybe Indiana Jones 4 (if they ever get around to doing it).
