«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 ...

Uhhh, I did NOT say I was a 70 year old boomer.. That was someone else and I think that post was taken down, maybe?

We were very fortunate, Dad served in WW2 and was able to get decent employment with the federal government and he had one of those I was think it was a Motorola console? I think they were called that? And he let my sisters play whatever they wanted, but that was only on Saturday, maybe Sunday, and when he was working during the day.

He wasn't hard on them he just liked to keep them busy around the house because they were his girls...It's funny cause I remember as a little kid Pops, had a lot of Frank Sinatra 78rpm's  he collected over the years as a young man.

@tyray , LOL!  I didn't shoot you those old Jim Croce lyrics because I thought you were a 70 YO 'boomer; I just thought, after reading your last post, that you might appreciate the sentiment.  

@devinplombier , funny that you should mention  Billie Eilish.  A few years ago I made a friend on another audio forum (a forum  that I never go to anymore) and he is not someone who I would imagine liking Billie Eilish.  A while back ago we touched base about some music and some vacuum tubes, and he recommended her to me.  I almost forgot about that.

@devinplombier

That you mention Billie Eilish, I think she is in a category all her own, to me...The only other person I can think of that even comes close to her writing skills at such a young age is her brother...

And her singing, I don’t think she knows how good she is, yet...Her phrasing is crazy...

I like what Sza does too. She kinda reminds mey of a thinking woman’s Josephine Baker...If one can imagine that.
