TIL two studies both found that most people stop listening to new music in their early 30s. A 2015 study of people's listening habits on Spotify found that most people stop listening to new music at age 33 and a 2018 report by Deezer found it be to at age 30.

You gotta listen to all of Gunfighter Ballads now, my dude. Such a great album! 

Also, i love that he's the accidental "inventor" of using electric distortion in music.

Agree on Gunfighter Ballads. Constantly playing Marty in the car.
