The album is great. The orchestration really suits the songs.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

That is really good. I'm not always a fan of orchestral arrangements with rock/pop etc, but when it works, it tends to really work!

Back to the days when the PMRC were promoting censorship, Dee Snider's stepped up to the plate. He's with the good folks.

Yeah not a fan of the music but yeah he's at least not turned into a conservative dbag in his latter years.

Hello,

Agreed. Twisted Sister was Long Island rock (I'm sorry if you're from Long Island) but what I've read from him since those days has generally been good.. His point about cherry-picking is well-taken.

Sister in law got married this weekend. There was A LOT of modern country at the wedding which is just terrible and I've complained about it here enough. But during the groom/mother dance, someone next to me said, "Oh, it's Morgan Wallen!" and my immediate thought was "I know him because he was too liberal with the use of the n-word." And then I noticed a few black people in attendance.

I needed to vent about this somewhere because I feel like I complain about my wife's family's love of modern country too much to my wife. The lack of awareness about Wallen was bothersome to me.
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.

I'm not familiar with Wallen but may I just say, lol: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/l ... 253959002/

You gotta be a real piece of shit to get kicked out of Kid Rock's restaurant, I imagine.

Modern country music is the bottom of the american barrel, culture-wise.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

In an age where everybody is getting pretty liberal with that word, it's hard to keep track of standouts. I've never heard of him.

Neither have I. I don't feel the least bit bad about my ignorance.

He's huge in the country world apparently. Looks like he's won country artist/album of the year on the CMAs the last couple years.

Naturally because everything's awful, after his n-word controversy, his album says skyrocketed. In fairness, he did donate a decent amount of money to black causes following the surge in album sales. At least they realized how bad those optics were.

Oh yeah, I think I remember that news cycle now.

My guess is they like most sensible people dont know who the fuck he is and just recognized it as the bad music it is.
