Pop culture and music from the 80s and 90s.

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

At first, I was a bit perplexed by today’s topic but realised that given my age, I spent a lot of time thinking about things from the past.

I am a bit of an expert on Australian Music from the 80s and 90s and in particular, I know a lot about Neil Finn, both in Crowded House, Split Enz and his solo career. I don’t think I live in the past and nor does Neil Finn live in the past. Neil has kept up with how technology impacts how Music is made today, he has embraced modern technology and used it to his advantage, recording an album online and having a world wide radio show, when all the world was in the grips of lockdown. I listened to all this.

I am aware of modern pop culture, but am less influenced by it and tend to embrace what I find fits in with my personality and interests, but ignore what I feel to be irrelevant in the modern world 🌎

So yes, somewhat I think more about the past, but not to such extent that I ignore the present.
