Let me explain something to you jive turkeys.

All too often when I read YouTube comments on old music, a youngster will say some variation on "I love this music and it's from before I was born" or "This is my favourite band and I'm only 15 or whatever". That's great. Then, some jive turkey comes and says something like "Nobody cares about your age, snowflake.", "You think you're so special?" or "You must be proud of yourself."

Look here, bringing up one's age is not so much about the listener as it is a comment on the music. It's a compliment, not a brag. The listener is not trying to say that they are special, they are saying that the music is not merely nostalgia for old people, not a flash-in-the-pan fad, but is genuinely good music that has stood the test of time, still worth listening to. Dig?

I play the Dire Straits New York City concert on YouTube. Out of my MacBook Air into my deck through my system the sound is awesome. I don’t watch the video but listen to the concert. Also many other artists I enjoy.

YT has videos of people listening to a song for the first time. I watched many people reviewing the following video. The ones I hate are the ones where the reviewer does not know the age of the song or the original authors. That info will not affect the first impression of the performance.

Only a jive turkey would post a thread about music under the Digital Forum instead of the Music Forum. Dig?

Dig. (For those that thought “dig” was funny, I’m a musician. All the cats I work with use Dig as a regular part of the lexicon. It’s a thang. Really. You under dig?)
