Other than that...like I said....it is so over. There will be no more Haight/Ashburys, no more CBGB/New York/London '77s, no more Seattle Grunges, No more LA Punk, No more Stax, or 60s Detroit, no more Gram Parsons, no more early 21st century Garage revival. I have a hard time believing that anything like those things will happen again. No more organic scenes blowing up into the mainstream.

Check out the 'new folk underground' spearheaded by Devendra Banhart. Now I'm no woolly folkie and normally like my music dissonant and blasting, but some of these people write some damn good songs. Devendra himself looks like he's just crawled from underneath a pile of disgarded organic potato peelings at Glastonbury festival, but writes some incredible songs.
