Politics and Religion

This is kinda like The Predator meets Andrew Dice Clay (lol)

Obviously this is the first I've heard of them. No doubt they've been around, they have an audience, and a niche in the music business. Looks like they're making money, and you know how I feel about that.

I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to music, like seeing the Beach Boys in concert recently, but  I did see an interesting group a few months in Santa Barbara. You would know the music if you seen the latest Acura commercial....Nick Waterhouse and the Tarots. Not sure if you like R&B.

I thought this would be a good way to break the "ahem", intense polarization here lately. Figure most people here like this kind of music; both albums classic masterpieces with not a bad song on them. If you say otherwise, you're a pussy--------;)

Album # 1 :

Funny thing-----Gen X'rs prefer "The White Album"
to "SP". "White Album is very good, but, IMO, not as good as "SP".

I think SP is probably the Beatles 5th best album.  Led Zep I is maybe their 4th best album.  Let it Bleed is pretty fuckin' awesome.

How you feel about "SP" is how I feel about "Exile on Main St"; good, but incredibly overrated. Even Jagger said it's overrated.

Paint it Black

"I see a red door and I want to Paint it Black"

It took me several tries to find the one with the guitar intro I wanted.  Flashpoint is probably the best Stones compliation live.


As to the Beatles:

2 years ago Paul McCartney put on a concert close to us, and he did a 3 hour sound check with a lot of great songs. The cops perimetered the park to keep people out, and McCartney told them to stand down and let everyone in free so we got to bring beer, dogs, and sit near the stage.

Then Saturday night, he had them let people in free at an angle from the stage where you were pretty close.  2 free concerts in back to back nights when tickets were going for several hundred. Not bad at all.

The Beatles actually considered seriously showing up on SNL when Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello)  pleaded for them to get back together.

With that in mind, here's my fave cut from that album; INCREDIBLE Page guitar work :

Be careful, he might tell us the Bee Gees were a little too wild for him. :)

The best rock album ever made? That's easy.

which just shows you even know LESS about rock than Middle-east politics, which many would find incredible.

Dude, go back to smoking your chronic-----:)

You mean cream puff #1 and cream puff #2? ;)

You know who would eat both those bands alive?

But mine is a lone opinion-----let's say what the
rest of the board has to say-------:)

Never use the words "taste" and "testicles" in the same sentence, not in this forum at least.

Meanwhile, also for the suggestion box:

All you of are just a bunch of washed up pot smoking useless white trash rejects from the 60s and 70s. I hate rock. It's loud and obnoxious.

Pria, now that I say that, yesterday I was visiting my sister on Exposition Blvd. You know the area I'm talking about? It's now become an art enclave of all things. I played some basketball with some of the local kids, and even though I hate rock, they were playing Jimi on their boombox. Did I like it? Let's say I wasn't going to question musical taste in that part of town.

So while all you little old pasty white rejects reminisce about smoking weed in your parents basement while listening to white rock music, give a little respect to Jimi. Even I will.

Funky street that runs thru W.L.A.-Palms & Culver City; kinda reminds me of Natl. Blvd.

As for Jimi, one of rock's greatest guitarists, but except for a few songs ( Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, Star Spangled banner at Woodstock ) could never get into his music.

One thing to keep in mind for everyone reading this: if you were a boomer growing up in L.A. in late 60's & 70's & never experimented with weed, you were considered a "social retard"; mostly EVERYONE I knew smoked it.

The Exposition I'm talking about is adjacent to MLK Blvd.

And to think I thought the stoners were white kids with long hair, bad skin, no social skills, couldn't get a date, no athletic ability, basically one bad day away from being a serial killer (lol).

SMiLE!  

Started by the Beach Boys in 1966 the recording sessions collapsed amid rancor and argument among the band in 1967.  

Over the next 37 years, the album attained a mythic reputation of a lost masterpiece; collectors avidly sought-out bootlegs of every song and out-take they could find from the sessions.  

In 2003, Brian Wilson finished SMiLE with new personnel, amid much approval from fans and critics.  Here's the results:
