| Is blasphemous Music ok? @akgwhiz That Norm quote was a joke, and I quoted it as a joke. The joke is intended to mock those who act as apologists for murderous campaigns of any sort. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the statement, “religion is the worst thing ever,” is on... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @akgwhiz I can’t resist quoting the great Norm Macdonald: ”600 or 6 million, it’s still terrible.” | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away Btw, my “imagine such a thing” comment on Smokey was completely sarcastic. The guy’s a titan. | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away @bdp24 Allen Toussaint is another unheralded songwriter that gave us many great songs. As we all know, as preposterous as the list of undeniably great songs/tracks produced by the Motown label is (preposterous in its combination of quantity and q... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @larsman Lucky fella. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @whart I also find trendy ‘80s artifacts like gated drums, chorus-pedal-on-electric-guitar, and an often-garish use of synthesizers undesirable. I think could all point to trendy sounds from every other decade that we also find disagreeable. I ... | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away It’s ridiculous. And that above list are just the bigguns. As consequential as Goffin/King, Lennon/McCartney, Smokey Robinson, Ashford/Simpson, Leiber/Stoller, Gamble/Huff, and Stevie Wonder, when you stack up the numbers like that. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @mikelavigne “basically”…nonsense. You named three uber-popular bands of the ‘70s (as if they constituted the totality of consequential popular music of that decade), besmirched an entire decade’s worth of great music (‘80s), and then capped it a... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @bdp24 Reading Keith’s autobiography, seeing/hearing his ignorant, self-important, dismissive statements in interviews going back some 50 years has not caused me to really care about his point of view. I could list 20-odd Stones songs I really li... | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away As profound an impact on popular music as anyone. Nerds who routinely read the fine print under the song titles of their 45s, who care about music, know who he was. Everyone else; not so much. Very unfortunate. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @bdp24 ”excessive vibrato singing.” Yup. Pretty much sums up how I’ve always felt about Joan Baez. A maudlin, namby-pamby overall tone and vibe, one that was a certain exploitation of a ‘60s trend hasn’t helped me like her much, either. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @bdp24 Danke. I think Frank is often hilarious. I also wish our youngsters took after someone like him who fought for free speech. You know, actual activism. In lieu of filing a complaint with the ADA, pressuring local businesses/institutions ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @thecarpathian People were referencing Zappa. ”If God made us in his image he must be kinda dumb and a little ugly on the side.” ”Who Needs the Peace Corps?” - “Oh, my hair’s getting good in the back!” | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? I always wonder if God’s hair is getting good in the back. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @bdp24 Indeed. I’ve shown/enjoyed-the-experience-of-rewatching tons of movies (certainly more plausible during a global pandemic) with my girlfriend the last couple years. It’s great. Talking about them afterwards, the whole bit. Taking her for a... |
