It's a bit narrow minded to assume that the guy would stop listening to new music and cease seeking it out.
I don't think it's narrow minded at all, because older people generally listen to less new music than newer people. Of COURSE there are exceptions. But what would make him one of them? His older brother certainly isn't. The fact that he was a wild man in his younger years, is that what would make him the exception? Most older men I know who were wild men in the '70s listen to (drum roll...) the same music they did then. They're cheering for the Zeppelin, Stones or whatever they loved in their glory years. Might Dennis have been one of the exceptions, sure. Maybe he'd be into Kanye West. Maybe he'd be into Enya. Maybe he'd be into the Dixie Chicks. Maybe he'd be into the sound of his own farts--we don't know. But it seems to me that my "narrow-minded" supposition is more likely true than people just naming bands
they happen to like, or naming bands
they think remind them of Dennis, and projecting that onto a guy who has been dead for twenty-odd years and who would be in his sixties if he weren't underwater. Clearly, nobody has the right answer, though. That much is obvious and should be assumed.
