\"\"<\/a>I have waited patiently for Vinyl <\/em>to start showing on HBO. I mean Scorsese and Mick Jagger, together \u2013 wow! The billboards advertising it said \u201cHe didn\u2019t see the future, he heard it.\u201d So, it\u2019s been on for a while now – it gets good reviews \u2013 but, where is that new music. Not sure how this can happen. If they are supposed to make some kind of new music \u2013 even if it is supposed to be new to the 1970\u2019s or something, where is it? Sad to watch a series with so much potential go down the drain. I mean Scorsese is a great director. He didn\u2019t need Mick to come up with these stories, he could have gotten anyone. Mick. however could have come up with some great new music. I wish I could have these old farts read my stuff and listen to some of my music. I could keep the story going while infusing some kind of musical innovation. Oh, I didn’t mean to come across like that. Pick anyone else who is interested in the more musical side of things.<\/p>\n

As a last word, I need to say that I am pretty much as old as those two, but I haven\u2019t yet become ossified. Bottom line: if you expect some kind of mob related Scorsese kind of show: keep on watching, you\u2019ll get all of that. On the other hand, if you expected this show to be more musically exciting, don\u2019t waste your time. All I can say at this point is that I have wasted nine hours of my time waiting for a worthwhile musical moment and I do not intend to spend a minute more. So long Vinyl<\/em>, I hope they snip the rest of your episodes soon, so that I will not be tempted to watch any new ones (LOL \u2013 NFW.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
