When did music die?

When did music die?
Was it when we lost Chubby?
Or when the jazz age ended?
Is it the fault of rock?
Or maybe it was punk?
Or possibly grunge?
Can we blame the kids?
Or maybe the media?
Could it be the government?
Let’s go to the beginning.
To classical and jazz.
What ruined those?
Was it Ol’ blue eyes?
Or the King?
Maybe it’s farther on.
Maybe its guitar riffs.
Or maybe even rap.
Or could it be, Just maybe,
It was never ruined
Just changed
Think about the Beetles
Think about the Stones
Think about your favorites
Now think about the future
What happens next?
What exciting things lie ahead?
New and different ever changing
Music didn’t die
It’s just changed
It’s grown and change
So embrace the future
But never, ever forget your roots!
