All I know is that the next 10 years are going to be excruciatingly painful for fans of rock'n'roll. I dread checking the news some mornings out of fear that someone I love will have departed overnight.

That is a terrible piece of writing. Newspapers are going downhill.

When you think of dying artists think also how many great artists are being born but we don't know them yet.

If this writer is any indication of the mentality and talent of those who are about to take over, those yet-unborn artists will never become known. People without talent will reign supreme, and critics who write in sentence fragments will be praising them.

This article might be morbid and poorly written but the author does have a point. There will be a time when the artists we love from the 1960s and 1970s won't be here anymore. And it'll be soon. It's weird to think about but that's life. We're not immortal. Look at the jazz greats from the classic era, the blues greats, they're all gone (with an exception of a small few). Is it really bad taste to remind us that they will pass away one day or the more we think about it and accept it will that help us cushion the sadness when it does happen?

You represent a universal for all generations point of view which is called "juvenoia" ie. presumption that the next generation is worse than the previous one. It's been known since acient times.
