Yup. Priceless how ignorant some folks are.
Music IS powerful. It unites people like no other thing.
BUT, you "are what you eat". Listen to garbage you become a big pile of it!
The fact that our Canadian loudmouth thinks all music since the 50's and 60's is garbage just reveals his own ignorance.
He must not be able to discern good musical art from garbage. THAT'S on him!!
Let's see. Last night's listening (in order) was.
1. Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers "Native Heart"
2. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit -- "Reunion"
3. Robert Plant -- "Mighty Rearranger"
ALL extremely wonderful and ALL expressions of a joyful noise. ART, not crap.
The night before was even better (4 discs, not 3)
1. Glen Phillips --- "Mr. Lemons"
2. Amanda Shires --- "To The Sunset"
3. The Pretenders -- "Breaking Up The Concrete"
4. Drive By Truckers -- "The Unraveling"
The new DBT's (Patterson Hood LIVES in Portland!!) is thematically all about NOW in America! The unraveling of our democracy.
Every right winger everywhere should listen to it. Carefully!!
IF they can handle the truth! Because it nails their stupidity and OURS as a Country and as a people.
I'd bet significant money that our Canadian pal hasn't the intelligence our courage to know of and listen to ANY of these poets/artists.
I'll end this rant with a lyric from an old song written by my friend Danny O'Keefe.
He wrote this in the early 1970's (after all the turmoils and riots, etc of 1968).
It's from a song entitled "Runaway"
The line goes--------- "Our children will lead us, or leave us behind"
I've always held that line with me..........all these years.
I've tried to heed it. Mostly it's worked well.
Seen more riots in one year, than in all the 70's.
The noise pollution I refer to is Death Metal, Heavy Metal, and other satanic-inspired ear/mind poison. Gangster rap on the list.
Never said good lyrics don't exist. Try to see my point, instead of cherry pick the comment// Man, we are even programmed by commercials. Or why do so many younger women think they are fat? (5-8 and 130-135 is not fat, but perrfect)
p.s. I have no idea why this is. I actually learned to type ten finger style back in high school, on a Manual Remington! 30-35wpm and don't look at the k bd. Now I type like a dyslexic. Every sentence has at least one word with the letters reversed. HENCE: much editing. Drives me NUTS.
BTW L bob,
I am going to look up and play some of those clips. Might even add some of my own, 2 from 90's back to 60's as nobody else was here in the 50's (just guess)
I played the last 4 your posted. Can't say I hated it. But.. can't say anything good about it, either. Perhaps that is is somewhat harmless.. or is it? It still isn't MUSIC
Not a big secular music fan anyhow, but I will post a few in a new frame
