Music has always been equally fantastic. The way it's advertised/exposed to the youth has been immensely degraded. Due to the fact music is largely sold as commodity first, artistic expression second. Live costs have gone through the roof as everything does, and live music is really hurting. I don't think it's very profitable to tour at all for most bands. A lot of really good bands tank fairly quickly due to these expenses, and since bands themselves don't get as big as they used to, then that's a major issue.
However, the major plus side is that most good bands are not playing in Arenas but bars rather so you rarely pay more than 20$ to see one.
I'd say music itself especially in the underground is fantastic at the moment, though. Just not exposed.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
