If Music Could Talk

You offered me two options with no alternative. Which puts you right up there with British politics in my book. So one day I vote team Heston the next team Doc. Not wanting to take sides and show favouritism to either of my younger brothers. A no vote at all is a vote for laziness and racists. :lol...

Did any of the women here read Sassy back in the day? I'm kind of curious whether it was regarded as true feminist resistance to the typical girly girl teen mags or fake subversion. I was a dedicated reader. I was probably a little old, but they usually had pretty good info on up and coming alterna...

On 20 June, the Yankees were 50-17; since then, 20-22. That's seven weeks of mediocrity. Just sayin' is all.

That was The Newlywed Game, but the same bizarre era.

Fake. Where's the glass of rosé?

I think you are doing that selective history thing we’ve been discussing, implying that pop music used to be less soulless. But again, listen to the songs that actually topped the charts in that time period and there is a ton of soulless dreck in the Motown era. Hell even within Motown. Right—that'...

This poll needs a Kajagoogoo option.

"White Feathers" I thought you being you would get conscientious pacifism. I mean c'mon man I'm seriously trying here.

What a hideous bargain, marrying pacifism to such limp music.

Following on from this—when studying popular music over time (the 1960s vs. today, let's say), there's a dynamic at play that I find interesting: if you think about it, there's no real reason why current pop music should suck.

To the person who changed their vote, do you know what you've done? Do you know what you've done?
