It's all pretty funny, actually; especially your comments, Rok. Nicely done; sincerely. Sorry to disappoint you. Subtlety, nuance, good rhythm, good intonation, logic.....like good music. You know all about that, right? There's more than one way to win an argument besides low blows. Watch and learn, your winning record is not that good 😏. Sometimes I wonder what % of the 1.3 million views are for the soap opera instead of for the music. http://youtu.be/DCaa4YakNXU |
Frogman, first let me explain one thing where you have missunderstood my words, perhaps my english is not clear enough. I have said, that (only) in comparation, with your thoughts and expressions, made about music (where you have shoved knowledge and patience, together with abbility to explain things from their origins, or basics, up to their present state) your expressed views about some 'political' things, lack the same perspective (ergo,not so wide and deep as music ones) Furthermore, I did not want to offend you in any way or form, and if you felt that way, please forgive me. But, my initial reaction was on Rok's words where he have tried to justificate media propagnada (so called 'right' one) by saying that, on the other hand, many 'bad' things in your society comes beacuse of so called 'left' influences. You supported such 'argument', very fast and even added, that you (as society, or world in general?) should be very aware and on alert from dangers of communism. (not in these words, but in the general meaning) That kind of statement, imho, is incorrect on so many levels, not only by its contence (in fact, there is not much of it), but it dismisses the essence of proper meanings of 'left', 'right', 'truth' or 'propaganda', not to mention the part about 'boogeyman' (that is dead and burried for almost thirty years now) The fact, that it came from you (whom I consider educated and organised thinker) struck me much more than pure bluntness of said words . Now, I agree that this 'discussion' is silly and if perhaps if we put it in a right context and organise it by topics and true meanings (as we discuss music) we could all learn something for each other, or at least agree that we do not agree but in calm and friendly way. I must add, that I do not consider Orpheus as somebody who share 'my political views' simply because he has not stated any (and I certainly have not said anything about mine) But, his words (or provocation, maybe) was quite innocent, there was no need for me to answer it , from you, even less, I guess. You have written quite long post, (last time) on which I have choose not to answer, becuse of all things you have rightly stated now. If your words and intentions are true why did you feel the need to comment on such small remark from Orpheus, that was essencially addressed to me? By doing it, it may look that you consider me as someone under influence of 'media brainwashing', which I would object, simply because I think that I have not wrote anything that might contribute to such opinion. Of, course, if you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them if that will 'clear the air'. Rok already has the popcorns and if others would not mind, we could always take the time out and head for 'wrong turn' in our little thread. Hope we'll be back on tracks soon after. https://youtu.be/dqrF_9AceT4 |
Alex, Rok, and Frogman, there is nothing I hate worse than talking about "nothing"; therefore, I am going to give us something that's certainly worth talking about, and at the same time will indicate who has any knowledge of economics. http://wealthisbeingtranfered.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/wealth-is-being-transferred-from-us-to-them/ We can discuss this thread in full with no pretenses of avoiding anything. |
Just a reminder, this is Jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkUvZUTFUc An entire group of favorite players. Maybe The Frogman could talk about Sonny Rollins and his place in Jazz. He seems to me, to have sort of stayed above the fray, as pertained to his relations with other players. Is this my imagination, or another of my amazing brilliant insights? There seems to be something not quite right with his story, but certainly not his playing. Cheers |
