on The Real Christianity

May 30th 2007 08:53
Run 'em all off. Religious fundamentalists, subversionists, recidivists, so called "priests" or "fathers of the lambs", brainwashers, who don't have a clue what they're on about. Run 'em all off. Captors, cultists, sectarianists, even the people who categorically state that ther religion is not a religion. Run 'em all off, I say. Let the real Christians tell the world what it means. Good on you, God's Advocate. Oh, and disown homosexuality.

As soon as I come down I will add my (as always) expansive dribble...

But for now, read: DmD.

PS. Sorry for my absence but someone has come tragically close to realizing who I am so my future responses will be...perhaps non-existant...

Hey Voices, I wans't being disrespectful to you...Many apologies! (hope you can hear me grovelling)

Wot duz Over Loquatious meen???

Let's all be friends after we've outdone ourselves with our axes plugged into a Marshall stack in front of thousands of people, shall we?

Oh, and Bravo on the Crystal Gayle thing...Another talent that somehow slipped through my et totus musical capacity. Cheers, and bring more on. Ahh, memories...

First and foremost, let Home boy answer for himself.

Secondly, Voices, if you don't think McCartney is commercial, what is commercialism in your opinion...?

Thirdly, taste is the biggest thing in anyone's selection of anything, not just music. I happen to like seafood; I cannot stand escargot. That's my taste and I know everyone else has thiers. And yes, there are songs that Billy wrote that I don't particularly like. Yes folks, it is possible to be subjective.

If you wanna bag someone who has a lot more fame and money (you assume) than us, bag someone with NO talent! Shit, I do it all the time. There are plenty of them out there. But to say "I will personally sniff him out and snuff him out" is just plain uncalled for. So, you don't like that song? So what? That doesn't make him a child rapist. I don't like Metallica, G&R, Grinspoon, Slipknot, Slayer, Megadeth, Poison, The Sex Pistols and Ricky Martin but that doesn't mean I wanna sniff 'em out and snuff 'em out. That's just the wrong attitude to have.

I suppose "at the fear of bringing wrath upon myself" was a recognition of the shock-horror that you could have forseen from me, eh?

Yeah, fair enough, might not be everyone's cup of tea but you can do more for the dislike of the culmination of the individual's work (The Beatles) than the individual's culmination of works (McCartney, Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band, Harrison: The Dark Horse Years and of corse Lennon).

But then again, life's pretty straight without twisties and I cannot help it if some peoples opinions are rather shallow... Sorry Voices, you know I love you! Was referring to Homer with that last comment. Maybe we could help each other help the world when it comes to the appreciation of talent. If not, we could tell the naysayers to do it themselves...I'm SURE they are more than capable!

I'm sorry, but however tragic I cannot help bag people who bag people (with the exeption of Paris, Britney, Diddy, Fiddy Cent, et. al). Someone should write a book on how hard it is to nurture and use a talent. If you don't like someone, fine; just don't bag them unless you can do better. And I think I can speak eloquently of exactly what talent is...after reading my responses, Voices?

I'm gonna get nasty here, as a matter of fact. I'm not a genius, not a grammy winner, not a visionary but it FUCKIN' PISSES ME OFF when people bag artists without proper justification. Like I say, we all know who is and who isn't (read over my blog if you missed it the first time) but I do, however, realize that life's pretty straight without twisties. Sorry Homer, but you stirred up this bad boy's wasp nest and I'm gonna have to sting you.

Reply if you dare, Homie.

How's this for a shocker?

The very first song I can remember listening to (and asking Mum to repeat it for me so often that it eventually wore out) was The Boston Pops Orchestra's rendition of "Sabre Dance". I was in nappies.

From then on, my life was interspersed with Dad's Slim Dusty, The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Boxcar Willie, Wilf Carter et al. Mum was more of a Perry Como, Jim reeves, Marty Robbins and instrumental fan. Richard Clayderman, The Magic Organ, the afore mentioned Boston Pops, etc.

However, the one defining moment that forged every aspect of my life, musically, personally and socially, was of course, Billy Joel. I cannot put into words how true and profound this is. You'll hear this in MY music one day, I'm sure...

Then there's the cornerstone of every nutritional musical breakfast, "Like A Rolling Stone".

on Already? It's Only Been Three Years...PART TWO

Damn! I think I've met my creative writing match! Or collaborator...

Actually tonight I realised a long-forgotten boyhood dream. To be the lead singer/pianist/guitarist/saxophonist for a Rock band. I must get some AIC stuff in there.

You know what they all have in common? The grunge scene, I mean.

Niel Young.

Well, Voices, don't come see me, I'll only dissappoint you!!!

Hey another thing, if you've only got Billy's Greatest one and two, there's a whole lot more you're missing out on. Sorry to inundate you with my useless crap, but if you found Billy Joel "The Complete Collection" (4cd) he gives a Q&A (live) on disc 4. Also, Billy Joel "My Lives", boxed 4CD plus DVD, there's some absolutely priceless stuff in there, too. If not, go with The Stranger, 52nd Street, Songs In The Attic (Pre The Stranger; it's a live CD) and not to mention 12 Gardens Live. Fantasies and Delusions, his latest studio effort to date is another one I'd go for. Although Richard Joo is on the keys, it's pure Billy albeit in a Classical State Of Mind...

Oh, and have you managed to find the musical culmination of Layne's life and death by Stravinsky yet? It's ... you'll see. I had the pleasure of playing those movements I mentioned on Double Bass (ok and a lot more Classical stuff) but it's just sheer Layne. I remember thinking that somewhere along the line and you being you, have evoked a memory which I feel obliged to comment on...Enjoy!

Oh, an' if ya bug me enuff I'll let ya know when I'll be playin' in the States...

on What's the best TV show EVER?

October 29th 2006 10:50
Quite a few good ones up there, but for sheer comic value, you just can't go past Happy Days. I'm not from that era but I do appreciate it now. If you want to get into spin-offs, how about Mork and Mindy which spawned the great Robin Williams. Both Ron Howard and Henry Winkler have fantastic careers of thier own now, but it was hard to watch Henry after so many years of The Fonz. (Absolute Strangers).

West Wing was my personal favourite. I don't understand politics at all so it was an entertaining education for me. Plus, the all-star cast! Rob Lowe, Martin Sheen, Brad Whitworth, Alison Janney, Richard Schiff, Stockard Channing and I'm gonna marry "Donna"!!!
