Hey man. I wonder why The Monks only made one album? Must have been because of illegal file sharing back in the 60's.

Your comment is a logical fallacy. Computers did not exist in the 60s.

"I wonder why those cavemen stopped singing?"--illegal downloads:

...doesn't work, bro.


Different world...different reasons. Most likely a poor marketing strategy. The fact that people bought Neil Young or Bob Dylan albums tells me that it's not that the music sucked. Crappy music sells millions of copies every day.

My comment was a sarcastic remark.

Funnily enough computers did exist in the 60's, if you know the history of them...

I have a PhD in literature with a minor in philosophy. I've taken a few university level history classes in my day. The difference in technology between now and the 60s is like comparing a plastic ice scraper to a Go-Pro digital camera.



The World Wide Web did not exist.

Well...you compared them when you used The Monks example in reference to "illegal downloads in the 60s."

It's called juxtaposition.

Of course I know what technology in the 60's was like compared to now, I was just being absurd.
