Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: We Built This City On Rock and Roll appreciation thread
Probably the only truly execrable genre I listen to is black metal. Also klezmer can be hokey and maudlin to some people, but I like it.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Wiggle - you can raise the dead
