Well, technically the answer is a yes, given I am already in the last year of my twenties. And as I progress downhill (physically that is) on my human lifetime, I do realise the subtle changes in my taste and appreciation for things.
Like how I have come to appreciate the finer things in life, such as learning not to run a mad rat race and to take a breather every now and then. Or how the old, crummy-looking shophousees at Amoy Street and Joo Chiat washed me with a wave of deep appreciation for its cultural and architectural beauty and heritage.
I guess it applies even for music. As with every generation, we’ll say that the music of the yesteryears (be it decades ago or just a few years ago) rocks so much more than a lot of the music of today. And though I’ve not heard the songs of this iconic man, the chance has come for me to hear a glimpse of the classic songs of P. Ramlee through Rosli Mansor’s intepretation.
Hey, it is free so why not head down to check it out? And then I’ll be tempted to go chill out the rest of my Sunday…
