**** you have no idea how sad current music is ****
Imo, the only sad thing is how this thread has managed, for three or four years, to return over and over again to the same tired themes that are competely off the wall and not based on the reality of all that is widely considered truth in and about music. The "it's subjective" argument simply doesn't wash when it comes to very fundamental considerations about music and not simply preferred styles. Don't you two guys have something new to say? Needless to say, I don't agree with the comment about "how sad current music is" anymore than I agree with the idea that "most current music has no coherence or themes". Where's the substance to back up those comments? Now, although it should be obvious, I should point out that had I not been included in O-10's diatribe in a way that is inappropriate and at least a little provocative, I would have ignored and not responded to the commentary in the last seven posts or so eventhough I consider most of it no more than bs. Even worse, bs that ignores musical values and even a specific performance in order to make the commentary serve an e-social agenda.
O-10, as OP, and as an OP that wants a leadership role in the thread, imo, your style of leadership leaves a lot to be desired. Do you really think that I or anyone would be remotely interested in expressing an opinion about a performance that you have already panned without offering a single detail as to why you feel it needs to be panned.
**** Never the less, we continue to express our opinions and plod along. ****
And I just expressed mine. If you would prefer a more polite version in the future please consider the above and don't speak for me. "plod along"....exactly; sad.
Ghosthouse, if you're out there, check out the guitar player in the Blanchard clip; interesting player.
