The 4th Golden Age of Rock: 1998-99 – The Aftermath

In which the Curmudgeons recite and (sometimes furiously) shout an epilogue to the end of the 1990s. Napster, Woodstock '99, and the consolidation of radio ownership all happened during this period, and nothing has quite been the same since. But, hey, we did get a great Red Hot Chili Peppers record and the debuts of The White Stripes and System of a Down. So that's cool...
