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: The KISS thread
Mainstream art and culture was surely at one of its lowest troughs circa 2002. What a horrible time for the mainstream.
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

Mainstream rock was pretty awful from like 99-02. 02 was the last year before White Stripes/Strokes/etc. brought things back to good for a few years. The pop/R&B isn't too bad on this list though.

Re: The KISS thread
Also, did anyone else assume KISS was from Detroit? Same reason I thought Huey Lewis/News was from Cleveland.

No, because I read my first KISS biog at the age of 10.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Is the mainstream ever not awful, or boring/unchallenging. I mean that's the nature of the beast right? Budweiser, McDonald's, vanilla, etc...matedog wrote: ↑05 Apr 2022, 10:52amhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard ... es_of_2002
