Musical creativity at a low...

I dont know whats happening with us...people i mean...we all seem to function in the same way, its just that we have different procedures for carrying out those functions...not avery fascinating sentence but the point here is that musical ceativity seems to have been hit hard in the funny bone and its reeling under it. its very ironic that in an age where music, musicality, freedom of thought and expression is so fantastically AVAILABLE for all to tear a sizable chunk out of it and run away, we have people dispensing crap in the name of `music'...the meaning of that word has gone through some serious changes in the last few years....even with beethoven's symphony playing in front of me right now, if i pick up my guitar and try to compose something i'll probably tear it and throw it away or just hate it tomorrow. mabye im to blame...or mabye ALL the possible good music has already been made and were just left with the little bits at the edges tha no one cares about. is it really so hard?? i mean did bach, paganini have this much trouble coming up with stuff?? did they also pull their hair out over the frusration? did they also feel like mabye this isnt what god intendedme to do with my time...whatever it is, peoples' musical creativity HAS started to suck...mabye its because its the high standards set by their predecesors....I'd love to hear anyone else's views!
