Thank God for the age difference between Fonda and Penn. They might have produced offspring!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree aren't we. Hopefully there will always be enough non-revolutionary content for you to keep coming back! while ALL comments are gratefully received just once Greg (and you don't mind if i call you Greg do you?) it would be nice if you had something positive to say.

Well I think my positive attitude is evidenced in my expression of gratitude regarding two people i detest.

I will give you one point for the Johnny Mercer quote!

And oh how I'll cherish it!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask you...(prob a Zappa reference I fear...)What does NGWS stand for, i mean i have come up with a few, but i don't think that you would like them!

Ah! This could explain the animus; you aren't familiar with Mr Zappa's musical biography of me which celebrates my creative and excruciatingly hip nature are you? You really should give it a listen. I can upload it for you if you like.

I will give it a go if you want to put it up into the ether. Will warn you that while I didn't mind "..only in it for the money" I started listening to music seriously at a time when 'chops' were it seemed to me regarded above everything else (like emotion!) All my friends and there were some shit hot musicians in my class at school (Allan Thomson - bass, played with John Martyn for years and with Rick Wakeman, Jim Prime (Deacon Blue etc)The music that they played/listened to was prog in the extreme and to be honest left me for the most part stone cold. Zappa featured heavily and so while I was big fan of the Captain/Ry Cooder/Lowell George and others that had passed thru the 'Mothers' ranks, Zappa just didn't do it for me and as for his obsessive scatological/sexist side well I think I gave up on shit jokes when I was 'wee'(no pun intended!) Having said that there is a time & place for them and my 2 year old loves all things Winnie the Pooh & thinks that why did piglet go to the toilet. Cos he was looking for Pooh! to be the best joke ever!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that thank god punk came along when it did. Note that none of my friends got into it but they would play in a 'new wave' style if there was money to be made!
If you ever check out my Last FM widget you will notice that a lot of different styles of music are played here at 'Exile Towers' and Yes/Genesis/King Crimson etc still get played from time to time but Zappa?....sorry, but I will listen to GP NGWS if you go to the trouble of pointing it in my direction. (No pun intended!)

phew!
ReplyDeleteYour Françoise Hardy post came close to causing me to point in your/her direction.
I think I said before that I agree with you regarding Zappa's adolescent humor. I think the humor in this piece works well, although it breaks down a bit toward the end. I have always been bothered by the contradiction between his remarkable compositional skill, and the immaturity of his humor. Have you heard Boulez Conducts Zappa?
Thanx for that/dl-ing as I speak...
