love patty

Love, love this song!

Back to the subject at hand - this song and Ms. Patty Griffin. Both wonderful, BTW.

lol. I'm not sure if it's worth, respond to you, but one last time, here goes:
I believe that you are a "good guy", but you're a joke round ( in a good way), dedicate yourself to humorous comments.
And, you remember: "is not only blind who can not see, more blind is the one that doesn´t want to see ..."

C1: I appreciate your genuine comments, when I can understand them, which is not very often. I do read them though. I honestly think I am about the only one who does. We need more people commenting like you. Believe me, we agree on a lot more than you may realize. But I don't think this is the place for images like yours, and the lyrics, and the little factoid/announcement/infomercials/links and repostings from journals, which are excessive. Could you at least not post the credits/copyright memos at the bottom of these? Any moron with an iPhone can take these pictures you post. I am all in favor of copyrights for creative content, but the idea that anyone stands to profit from these photos of struggling artists is laughable. Besides, why exactly do you post the copyright? Surely you are not protecting the financial interests of the performing artists themselves. Shouldn’t their images belong to them, and not some parasitic photographer? Why the hell should I care about the economic interests of some photographer who takes an unauthorized photo at a concert? No one would pay me one cent for any of these images.


And for the people whining about this discussion taking place. Buzz the fuck off! I have had it up to here with whiners who hate discussions on a comment board. Fuck Off.

When i read the long speeches (sometimes not bad) on this site, i am happy to write only: nice ,or comment, when i really know something about the song. I dont want to discuss. I want to hear the music. Amen!

You do not need to go further ... I have also already thought so ...

I 'm probably the most "anti-advertising", "anti-celebrity", "anti-star", that you may find , when discussing the topic music , and everything that is related to music.
For me , the concept of " artistic merit " and " commercial merit " are perfectly defined and separated , when analyzing an artistic musical work, though compatible and coexist together.
Obviously I understand that this contrasts sharply with and diverge the nature of the business and organization of the music industry , where everything , music / art , and business, with a whole roll , and even if accepted, that is the only way that makes sense . But it is not .

That success is based on artistic merit , based on taste and adherence to this musical work , regardless of the success achieved on sale.

The merit-based commercial success , is also based on a component like , but it is mandatory condition to be sold on a large scale .

And therein lies the fundamental contradiction : that is to obtain and enforce commercial success , uses mechanisms promotional aggregates industry in order to induce and create advantage in a given musical work in order to obtain the maximum profit. Creating what they calls " music that is trendy ."
While it is relegated by default , artists and genres more elaborate , but which are not potentially interesting to come to generate sales .

About my response to Horstman: I just direct "I replied to the letter," but I confess I have not used a lot of patience, and not used the "mass of polish words," obviously we are not here concerned people themselves, but what they say in their quality of this radio commentators. As few as.

About the images , links, drawings , "r eviews of background ," i put here , there is nothing commercial or promotional , much less advertising, is an inestimable benefit , to create " visual identification ties" , biographic , pedagogic character, if desired, with the artists , which in my personal perspective, of recognized merit beyond the average.
You do not think , not even close, not even remotely , that all common people has access to artists , as you have. They have not .
And you do not doubt it , that only listen " airplaylist" couple of hours daily is sufficient . Not at all. Because the dinosaurs of the music business , take a big advantage with the integrated control of their broadcast media - image , video.tv , newspaper -magazine, " corporate rags". So.

I do a drawing for you: if you ask in any street of the western world, to an anonymous, for example, who is Justin Timberlake? Who is Gillian Welch ? Who is Patty Griffin? Who is Neil Young?, you'll be amazed.
Patty who? I know a Patty, but is my neighbor the 4th left.
Neil Young? let me see, what u say? Liliane?
Gillian Welsh? who? Raquel Welch? ...
Justin Timberlake? there will be many more people to hit the target .....
What makes the difference?

comment "on board": specifically, does not exist. The closest thing is a "chat" giant, with allusions and commentary, instant character as part of a rolling platform, open to the entire community, style similar to "Twitter".

Review : critical analysis or building on a theme based on taste, sensitivity , acceptance or rejection based on facts (quote or external collection of information ) , which may or may not contain , and be assisted with external links , photos , cartoons , drawings , video , and more .

You focus on a certain point, "if we had five or 10 other people who posted?", "Or about 20 or 30 other?". This is the point. Only a very small number around the RP is "dare" to comment, interact, why? (and many of them are known among themselves)
Therefore should be more members to make it all up, it would be "icing on the cake"
Why are the remaining few thousand, I think, do not feel motivated to do this? This is what should be of concern and a goal. It is to let the opinion of a few prevail by a whole can not be conclusive; which opinion and feedback, of the other thousands of listeners about airplay ? It would be interesting to know , and even then more support for RP .

The comment board is for comments, not advertising. I know many people like your posts. I ask those people this: what if we had 5 or 10 other people who posted the same "comments" that you post? What about 20 or 30 other? The comment board would no longer be a comment board. It would become Rolling Stone or Spin, two corporate rags that I avoid on purpose because they're, uh, corporate rags. I am not denying the quality of your 1000s of bandwidth sucking images or advertisements. It's the quantity. As for your pathetic insults, spare me, you are a world class bore and I could not care less.

this would pair nicely with Richard Thompson's Walking the Long Miles Home

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS...AWESOME!

horstman:

It's unbelievable samples of "rare bird" that landed here.
1nd - surely you're knocking on the wrong door, is that I do not write for people of low profile, to me you "come in a kart."
2nd - Your feedback is somewhat obtuse and polluted, and even unfair, about comments i do here, in a passionate way, a logic-free and disinterested (and even no commercial).
3nd - You look like a fool of, sleepwalking, oblivious to reality, envious, who can not discern the principles and values that are contained in what I write. Also I'm not going to demand that you try to do, possibly because time would be lost, but you try to do something positive, instead of you walking here want to bore people.
