«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato

@mapman , +1 on The Bird's The Word.  I had that very same thought when I was recently watching a rerun of Full Metal Jacket on Flix.  An example of yester-year's lyrics that were not extremely good.

@immatthewj

I would confess not all that much. But in a way that makes my point. During the 60s and 70s you didn’t have to search high and low or put a great deal of effort into finding great songs. In fact, it was hard to miss them. All you had to do was turn on your radio (yes, we listened to the radio back then) and you couldn’t avoid hearing great songs.

Sure, I remember those days. But keep in mind that back then, record companies were largely run by people who were willing to take on a much broader variety of artists. [. . .]

@stuartk , I would agree with probably everything you typed in that post. However, I would point out that you should have addressed that post/reply to @ezwind instead of me. Not that I took offense or anything, just that the post that you were responding to was made by @ezwind .

As for me, in the mid ’90s I was introduced to a public radio station, 91.3 WYEP, that totally transformed my appreciation of music. And although I do not listen to the radio much anymore, what I have heard when I do listen makes me tfeel that there are still good artists writing lyrics in the 21st century.

?

Whats your point ?

Not necessary to apologize i do not understand your point anyway...

The use of chat gtp and A.I. is my main focus point about society right now...

I just begun to uncover the new "religion" aspect from it  from mathematics to society...

I am flabbergasted to say the least  ..

I wish you the best of year and the health necessary to enjoy life ...

@ezwind: The two times I saw Iris at The Troubadour, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop between songs. It was kind of uncomfortable. Iris didn’t speak much, and at one of the shows I think there were a few groups from churches in the audience, with their kids.

At the two shows here in Portland, Iris was having a lot more fun, and was actually quite funny. Lots of self-deprecating humor. God I love her so.

@slaw: I just picked up a coupla Secret Sisters albums at Music Millennium. All it takes for me is to see that T Bone Burnette produced. He or Buddy Miller. Has anyone else heard the Healing Tide album by the Gospel duo The War & Treaty (Michael and Tanya Trotter) that Buddy produced? Fantastic! Buddy (and his wife Julie) come from the Contemporary Christian music community. Coincidentally, so does T Bone.
