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

@mylogic , this is off the track of your OP, but kind of pertains to me trying to describe why I do not like the music I do not like.

Anyway, back in the '90s and through some of the '00s my dad would come a couple of thousand miles to visit us for Thanksgiving.  Before he retired in '87 he was an art teacher and it was not just a job for a paycheck for him--he truly appreciated art. A true appreciation. (Go figure how the son of immigrants and who served in the Navy near the end of WW2 and worked for the railroad in Montana in the '40s while attending college would be an artsy guy, because I can't.)  Anyway, I have almost zero appreciation for art beyond 'that picture is kind of pretty,' but seeing as how there is a world class museum near where we now live, I'd always take him there each time he visited, and he told me that it had some of the best art galleries he'd ever checked out.  I would have preferred to look at Dinasaur bones or classic airplanes and stuff like that, but he would spend all day in the different galleries practically studying the exhibits.  I remember once there was an exhibit of some Dutch guy (not Van Gough) he felt really privileged to have seen and I also remember he enjoyed looking at the Jackson Pollack stuff, and honestly it did nothing for me, so I generally kicked back and checked out eye candy.  I will say that I had to appreciate some of the stuff that came out of, I think, the Renascence period--the minute incredible detail they put into those huge paintings must have taken forever.   Regardless, I just could not understand what made most of that stuff art worthy.  

I remember once there was an Andy Warhol exhibit we were looking at, and it included a case of tomato soup, and on that I guess I started badgering him and wouldn't let up.  Basically:  "What makes that art and why would they put it in a museum and why would anyone go out of their way to a museum to look at it?"

He expressed annoyance or irritation or frustration with me, but he could not answer my question.  Although I am sure that there is an answer.  But he couldn't explain it.

FYI ... Just so you know, yes, I was there. I joined. I went. So don’t tell me I don’t know what a draft dodger is and don’t make stupid attempts at changing the definition. 

@gdaddy1 , you are ridiculous and you do not know what a draft dodger is.  But if you are hung up on the definition of a word that actually has no formally recognized definition (unlike draft resistance or draft evasion or draft avoidance) then I guess that makes you a draft dodger because you avoided the draft by joining the navy. Like many other kids did during that time period.  Like the way GW Bush avoided the draft by getting jumped in front of a long line to join the TANG.  But I am not going call you or them draft dodgers.

Although Bruce is mistaken about the use of a word that is not a legal term and has no legal definition, Bruce is brutally honest about what he did in 1968, unlike Cadet Bonespurs who "had a very strong letter."  Before that, Fat Donnie lied and claimed he had a lottery number ’the likes of which no one had ever seen before.’

And seeing as how talking your way out of the draft wasn’t incredibly easy during the Vietnam War, no one except those who were in the room during that physical truly know what went down, regardless of what Bruce’s misguided guilt compels him to say.  And if he would have passed the physical and not been 4-Fed?  He says he wasn’t going to go, but since that didn’t happen no one will ever know since quite often people say one thing, but when push actually comes to shove they take a different course of action.

Go ask your best friend, Google... here’s the answer... "Yes, Bruce Springsteen was a "stone-cold draft dodger" who avoided the Vietnam War draft. He admitted to using various tactics to avoid military service, including claiming to be high on LSD and exhibiting erratic behavior during his induction physical."

And thanks for including part of the quote that I provided in my previous post and coming off as if you are the great discoverer of the truth.  Give me a break.

So continue on with your snowflake rage against Bruce and keep pumping yourself up with your nationalistic pride.

Nothing says old and out of touch like listing all the music you hate. I don’t mean this lightly. No coincidence you see the high end audio industry dying off with its community members and why the youth or women seldom take on the interest. Look what would be awaiting, tired old has beens gate keeping their status quo, not quite the rebel that led you to fall in love with your music in the first place.  Knocking music, an artist or entire genres is to miss the entire point of music. For all the stuff you like there is an entire generation before you that said your music was crap. That is not to say there is stuff I don’t like but I can appreciate artistic effort behind it. Many modern music is far more advanced then the older music. If you think it’s all electronics then your clueless. Most music you hold so dear wasn’t even written by the artist who made the music, bands were slapped together by record labels and people ignorantly think this was the golden age of music. This is nothing more than an admission the art, technology, creativity has passed you by and you no longer recognize it when you hear it. 

Thanks for your wisdom @daniel25 . Without you we wouldn't realize how pathetic we are.

@daniel25 You have absolutely no idea how ignorant you are.

As they say "ignorance is bliss and to be retarded is sublime".
