>>Thinking about the Who, I have this terrible vision of the world

20 years from now. Back in the sixties and seventies rock groups
were considered in much the same light as dance music of today,
i.e. subversive, leading the youth astray, etc. These days, they
have become the establishment. Do you think the same thing will
happen to dance music in the coming decades with something else
becoming the underground? Imagine parents telling their kids
"Why don't you listen to that nice band Hallucinogen instead of
wasting your time on this modern rubbish?". Huge outcries when
Radio 1 ban Hardfloor songs as being "boring and outdated".

Frightening thought..<<

Doug,

20 years time the concept of 'music' will probably be outta date...... kids
will sit in a virtual rave machine, fill up with designer, safe, substances,
plug in nutrient leads, and prepare to party continuously with their virtual
friends for weeks at a time. There will be virtual doormen in the cyber-rave
whose job is to give out free refill substances and plur to the vibe. Virtual
doormen will clamour to give out the most and best vibes, competing in their
friendly competition where the 'best vibe doorman' as voted by all (if they
want to) receive huggs from all ravers on their way out.  

Rave police will visit at frequent intervals to ensure that everyvirtualone
is happy and people who look miserable will be escorted out in cotton wool
stretchers to be paid attention and loved by the Sargeant back at the
station. Said miserable people, once cured by Seargent Loving Nice Vibe will
be immediately escorted back to the rave by rave police and hugged by all.

The music played will of course be goa trance.

At the end of the rave (or when the kids have had enough) they will emerge
from the machine feeling 100 times better and more loving, respectful,
understanding and refreshed as when they went in. All ravers will have a
personal robot (called mean piddler) which will automatically wind back rave
time so that time spent in the rave is not spent at all.
