Things change and people change. The cattle market side of life will always have to go somewhere and its best that they go to a place where those with fledgling brains will find something new that will broaden their horizons. Its all there in Ibiza from Jazz music, clubbing, artists, fashionistas, professional mentalism, AA guru, anti-christ, holistic whatsist, sculpture, weekend messiahs, gay mujahaddin, crazy furniture, the works.
Musical tastes are changing (the record companies are shoving guitar bands on kids again because theyre cheap and easy (Did you know that they only promote to events where the age group is at least 15 to 22 ? - creepy huh?)- remember when Disco Sucked then we all discovered house music, got blissy, and went on from there, until then the big labels moved in and capitalised on it, because we let them, and the beautiful got prescious about themselves once more. Now we go to the l'elephant, KM5 and Blue Marlin and have grown tastebuds and Space books names for style rather than substance (giggle). But now we can see more and more real musicians at all of these places with people going to see them. Well Ibiza's island economy has grown and changed good luck to all, but will they keep their character? Its mighty mighty expensive place and relies upon a single generation to fuel its curiosties. Hopefully there will always remain a mix. So long as i can go there and do what I want when i want, without travelling more than an hour, always find new people places and sounds, which is why i go, I think it will alsways be a popular place. Besides, a bit more of this lousy UK weather and everyone over 35 will go on a moisture induced nostagia trip and the terraces will be rammed even more than ever.
