Create Every Day

I was listening to the radio this morning in the car, and I realized: there are a ton of really catchy songs out there that are really missed the boat.  I listened to the first 30 seconds of a song that was really good.  Then the second 30 seconds repeated the first.  And the third.  And the fourth.  By the end of the song I was totally turned off.

Is it just me, or is that happening more than it used to?  Very few of the older rock songs don’t do that.  I might suspect that it’s just because I only know the good music from the previous decades, but the fact is that I can’t think of any recent songs that don’t repeat themselves.  Where is the story telling?  I miss it.
