Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Neil Young....sorry folks, his singing is terrible.

@troutbum 

l thought Neil Young’s voice was marginally better when he grew older

It was just a typo on Mark's part I'm sure, but I called it out jokingly because he was calling out someone else's error. No harm intended.

Tastes were acquired,by accidental exposure at critical times, by training, by education,by attention to some aspects of any multidimensional events as music and songs...

Tastes are never right or wrong , they are meaningful habits or meaningless one...

We kept our tastes because they are part of our being, as a luggage is indication of our origin, destination and intentions...

We must educate ourselves...

We must think about what we like and dislike and why...

Sometimes our taste reflect a good intuition about  aesthetics and meanings sometimes they reflect our ignorance...

We will never understand our biases, innate or acquired, if we do not  extend our scope of attention...

Music and speech are yogas....Not only leisure... Black or light yogas...

The effect of sounds on our own beings is so huge  we cannot be conscious of it without meditation...

 Thoughtless tastes  will stay at worst meaningless or at best  pleasurable habits....

We cannot change all our tastes and it is not the goal, but we can change our own attention level...

We can ask why is it such.... To begin with....

”Idle hands do the devils work”

A very true quote, but it can equally apply to those batting for the other camp.

l think we are both on here as we are not currently toiling earnestly and do-gooding.

It is a Bank Holiday here in the UK but as usual it is also raining. I must sign off now. The last resort is to watch “The Ten Commandments” on TV again for quite possibly the tenth time. At least it is guaranteed to generate a good laugh at Charlton Heston’s beard.

Great musical score by Elmer Bernstein, but the over acting by Edward (Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico”) G. Robinson, playing Dathan is a performance that “l just can’t watch”
