Agreed, although I do understand his frustration that he'll never see a lot of his favourite bands live.
But then that's true whenever you were born. When I was his age, I was annoyed that I'd missed seeing the Smiths, Jesus and Marychain, Clash, Sex Pistols, Velvets, Stone Roses, etc etc live. But if I'd seen them, I'd be pissed that I never saw the Beatles.
But seriously, now is by far the best time to be a music fan, ever. Go back 15 or 20 years, so much good music was out of print. Or unavailable in your town. Or you'd never heard of it, and had no way of hearing about it. Since then we've had a massive number of re-issues of good old stuff on CD. We've got the net which makes it a gazillion times easier to find out about stuff, and to get your hands on it (legally or otherwise).
