Hey Hey. My My.: Where Did The Music Go?

Where Did the Music Go? is a poetic protest, a cultural autopsy, and the most data-driven love letter ever written to rock ’n’ roll. Written from the wreckage of a life — in a van, at rock bottom — this book begins with a gut feeling: that something is missing in music today, and we’re not crazy to think so. What follows is the most ambitious AI-powered investigation ever assembled outside the music industry, using a 200-agent research team to dissect the anatomy of genius, the collapse of complexity, and the hollowing out of what once moved us to tears, rage, or transcendence. This is not nostalgia — it’s evidence. It’s memory backed by metrics.

From Hendrix to TikTok, from the fall of the bridge to the rise of the loop, Where Did the Music Go? maps the soul of music’s golden era and dares to measure its loss. With a revolutionary tool called SONGPRINT™, the book scores thousands of tracks for their emotional, lyrical, and structural DNA — and reveals a canon of genius that still stuns. It’s part memoir, part science, and part call to arms for anyone who ever believed that a song could change a life. If you’ve ever whispered they don’t make music like they used to, this book answers: here’s why — and here’s what we do next.

Anchoring the entire book to a song that declared rock ’n’ roll would never die — only for us to now question that very truth — gives the story emotional depth and generational heartbreak.
