The top 2 coolest rock songs of all times:

1. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones.
2. Debaser by Pixies.

Number 2 was delivered by (what was to be) a balding fat man, so that's a plus in my book.

Doing back to school shopping with my kids, I was surprised by how many 80s and 90s music acts were available on tshirts. NWA, Van Halen, Slayer, Arrested Development. My son picked up the Ice Cube and Slayer shirts.

I agree and disagree.
<a lot of ignorable nonsense typing by me deleted>
What I mostly agree with is the closing that says, "If you’re a lover of good music, there’s still plenty being made out there today – you just have to know where to find it."

That's really the bottom line. If a listener is lazy and unwilling to do the work necessary to discover good music, the listener will listen to crappy music. If listening to good music is important enough to the listener, there is more good music currently being produced than anyone could make the time to listen to.

Students at Private Universities Pirate Much More Than Their Public Counterparts * TorrentFreak

Private universities in the US are more expensive than public ones and tend to attract 'wealthier' students. On average, these students should be able to afford legal streaming services, which they do. However, at the same time, new research shows that these students are also more likely to pirate.

Maybe they're so broke paying for private education that they have less money for movies/music?
