«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not. I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...
I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway, i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...
And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius Bob Dylan Dylan...
Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...
I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...
As an aside, back in nineteen eighty and something I read Up And Down With The Rolling Stones (because the review in Playboy seemed interesting) which was theoretically authored by an "insider" and I remember the author claimed that Brown Sugar was referring to unrefined heroin. |
I had to do a google search because I’ve lost track of the years, but Justin Townes Earle’s first CD release was in 2008, and according to Wiki, he followed that with seven more. I admit that I haven’t heard everything that he did, but I listened to a public radio station that played his stuff and I thought that what I did hear was pretty good. And all of it from the 21st century. |
I here you Big Brother @mahgister, but this may surprise you. Today, Rap and (modern) R&B music is played not only on AM, FM internet (stations) streamers but also in different languages, all over the world. Rap and the so called (modern) R&B ain't going away. I come to audiogon with an open palette and try very hard not to be negative or combative in anyway. But sometimes...You gotta...Just, stand up...As Bob Marley would say. |
