Moving with the times can be hard. Especially in the world of music, things change fast. New technology is constantly popping up, bringing new capabilities and possibilities, new sounds and styles. Society changes, too, as different eras float into view, reacting to whatever is happening in the world. The hardest task for a music maker is to keep up, but even as music fans too, it can be tricky, Roger Waters knows that well.
Being able to keep up is a sign of true greatness. The best acts in music history seem to have managed to stay forever relevant. The Rolling Stones still have fans desperate to see them live, Paul McCartney still remains one of the world’s finest songwriters, David Bowie managed to evolve time and time again throughout his career to keep his art fresh, exciting and bringing in new intrigue. It’s a skill that runs alongside their talent.
