Concetta M. Tomaino: The big question is as we get older do we get set in our ways? Even in our choice of, of the music that we listen to.

John Lambert: A lot of people try to recreate their youth, I think, and so they liked something when they were young and they're still looking for that kind of music over and over again, because they kind of want to relive those memories. Where as I find the young people are just really out there all over the place being exposed to stuff and checking out new stuff.

Anthony DeCurtis: When you're twenty you just want to know everything. You know it's all new it's all the first time - that's exciting and that's great, but when you get older you want to spend time with the things that you do enjoy. Like, you know, I know, you know I'm going to spend a certain amount of time listening to Bob Dylan. You know, because that stuff is important to me and its, its remained sustaining to me.

Concetta M. Tomaino: As youngsters we form neurologically these responses to the things that we like. We actually get a chemical change in our brain when we hear a piece of music that we enjoy. As we get older we know what music it is that gives us the most pleasure. We're going to choose to listen to that music again and again, because we get that peak experience without a lot of work.

Man 1: There's very few artists on the airways today that I listen to. Yes, a band like Yes, nobody writes like that anymore.

John Lambert: Every single generation clings to the belief that their music was THE music and that there hasn't been good music since.

Concetta M. Tomaino: It's our natural tendency to stay the same, but it shouldn't be inevitable. Novelty and, and challenge is what keeps the brain in its peak performance the same way exercise would be. You know something that you need to do to keep your, your muscles in peak performance. Umm the brain needs new things otherwise it really gets, the brain gets set in its ways.

Anthony DeCurtis: Look, music changed my life when I was a kid you know, that was, you know I was listening to rock and roll, then the Beatles arrived and I never looked back. I mean I made that my whole life, so, that's not going to happen to me again, you know that, you know that kind of, that kind of transformation comes to you once in a life time, but you feel that spark again when you hear something that you enjoy and something that's exciting you know you get that sense of that's why I fell in love with this, you know it's like a person, you know its just you fall in love the first time only one time, but every time you fall in love after that umm you, you reencounter that, that renewal, that sense of being alive.
