No, Whipping post.If I had planned that raid on Usama's million dollar hovel, I would have planted a Les Paul and a bigass Marshall amp in his room for the photo op, and maybe some Ozzie posters. Let people think he spent his last years trying to nail Crazy Train.

It loses something when you have to watch a Bud Lite™ commercial first.
Brilliant.
I hate that VEVO crap. There isn't much that can ruin a Devo video, but if you have to watch one with a picture of Lady Gaga leering at you from the edge of the frame ...
What a hideous skank. She was a consultant on American Idol this year - she tried to counsel the country boy who eventually won the thing to be more nasty. He backed off from her like she was a leper and kissed a cross he was wearing around his neck. Funniest moment on the show, right up there with when Steven Tyler responded to an audition with something like "strike a fire and save the matches, fuck a duck and see what hatches".
Yes, I watch American Idol, but with my finger on the mute button.

Whoever made that video did an outstanding job combining the sky with the song - one of the very best I've seen whether professionally produced or not.

Lately, it seems to be classic rock. And that's fine with me. I don't usually even notice.
Though I did notice last week that it seemed to be all Stones all day.
But today, out of nowhere, three gals with whom I work,
all under 25, start asking me what this 'weird coffin piano music' was.
It was the fucking Doors, Light My Fire.

Ray Manzarec warped my mind at a very early age with his key board.
I had two speakers torn out of transistor radios, they were very small, and two traffic cones, I taped a speaker to the small end of each cone and then placed the large end on each ear and plugged them into my record changer, it was amazing.

Hard to be upset when people leave at 80 years old (more or less, both Leon and Leonard), especially when they contributed so much before going.
I bought a Leon album in the 70s because the cover featured a Rolls Royce hitched to a camping trailer. Great album. So was this one. Intro with the Japanese instruments - shakahuchi (I think) and snakeskin banjo, then the dobro - brilliant. I like the girl at around 1:18 : "Can I hear the other part, too?"

I saw him twice in the 70s, once at "The Warehouse", literally an abandoned warehouse on the NOLA waterfront with no amenities (no seating, no air conditioning, lots of spider webs), and once outdoors. At the warehouse it was a birthday of some sort for them or somebody in the band and they were presented with an enormous cake. They tore it up and threw it at the crowd, which threw it back at them. Outside, Lynyrd Skynyrd didn't show up and the other two bands, Geils and ZZ Top, played overtime to cover the gap. Musically, they met every expectation both times. Great high-energy band.

Seems down for the count. Everything passes . . .
As for the electric guitar, I prefer the upright bass -- accompanied by the saxophone and or the piano. All have more depth, aren't generally over-amped and don't need to be plugged in.

The decline of radio and then TV probably has more to do with it than anything else.
If the utes of the world were watching TV, all a guitar company would have do to is buy air time and run the above clip, and this one: https://www.youtube....?v=DgDy1SQ6hnw.
Neil the Neanderthal, yet all that enraptured pussy ...

I didn't take note of that. Maybe it's like those TV shows with intrepid explorers and/or morons exploring a haunted house.

Decline of TV and radio? No, more likely the growth of easier to use technologies. Learning to play the guitar requires work. Learning to sample someone else's work, perhaps not as much practice is required.

Watching those Neil Young videos, I thought, how could anybody not want to do that shaman's dance? It must be that nobody is watching them anymore. Most people probably saw Buddy Holly only on TV. The empowerment of the guitar hero was tied that medium. That's what I was trying to say. But of course, I've seen similar reactions from the audience for the guy who wears a light-up mouse head and does nothing but push buttons, up on a pedestal above the crowd. A different sort of priest. And I like it myself - it has its place. So yeah, maybe people are inspired to do that sort of performance now, because it looks easy. It's probably not, but for damn sure it's easier than playing a guitar. Shame of it is, neither Hey Hey My My nor Cinnamon Girl is technically difficult to play.

67 - I thought I heard 57 on the radio - that's where I heard the news. Should have known better - watching that TV show back in the day, it was obvious to me that "Keith" (David Cassidy) was older than I. So was his "sister" with the braces, to whom I had fantasies of doing things.

As I remember the ancient Chinese words don't include a tool at all, but potter's wheel was something they knew, as opposed to a lathe, which (as far as we know) they didn't. Either works as an analogy to the universe, I guess. Potter's wheel and lathe, yin and yang, chalice and blade.

I enjoyed it my ownself. Honestly, one of the most enjoyable aspects of my tenure as as assbinthe expert was all the translation, and the niceties thereof, such as to take or not take poetic liberty, as Le Guin apparently did with "lathe". It was nice to get back to Chinese, too.

How did Charles Manson's exit not make the cut? In November. Maybe nobody noticed. I heard about it two days ago. Maybe he was deemed unworthy; I know I read that no cemetery would take him. His mortal remains were put on ice while a legal fight probably develops over them. He's probably at a hootenanny in Hell, but there's still money in his name. Shit, he was probably more famous than anybody else who's been mentioned in this thread. Still, better off dead.

There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'

A lot of people think that Sharon Tate's house was chosen at random. It wasn't. Manson had met a record producer for the Beach Boys, who lived there. He had met at least one of the Beach Boys, too. Manson hoped these people would help him turn his music into money, and he was pissed off that it didn't happen. But the house had changed hands by the time Charlie sent his puppets over there.
Manson was furious when he found that Dennis Wilson had not only changed the lyrics but had listed himself as the sole composer, and at one point, [Manson] leaves a bullet and tells Wilson, ‘I know where you live. I know where your children are,'” said Jeff Guinn, the author of “MANSON: The Life and Times of Charles Manson.
