Italian Concerto whatever

I was thinking earlier that even though sometimes I hear something that absolutely repulses me (like Johnny Cash singing I'm on Fire), it doesn't necessarily mean I would like it removed from the playlist.

I feel like this about some songs on the review-channel and then vote Thumbs up.

I might not really like that song, let alone buy it, but think it would be a good contribution to have a large fresh variety and surprising sounds.

A channel only playing my favourite music-taste would be kinda boring after a while. Hey, I even dig those occasional cartoonish Dolly Parton or Bette Middler on RP - as long as it is played rarely. ;-)

And it won't drive me away from RP. Actually I agree with you about country music, I understand Cash is an American icon, and I respect that. It's just not for me, is all.

Of course, I'm left to wonder why it is playing over here. It's been in the playlist for a long time.

You people need to look before uploading! <-X

Not that I haven't been guilty of that faux pax, once. 8-<

The trouble with country as a "genre" is that it's boundaries are so blurred. Whatever is the current Nashville commodity is usually quite objectionable to me; however country and folk are intertwined in places where some great songwriters live. Classic example: John Prine.

Aside from that I was just joking, I actually might have confused it in the rush with the other Cash-song played just a couple of minutes earlier "I'm leaving now". :-)

I like quite a bit from Cash - especially his live prison albums. (And I am always grateful when Bill occasionally throws in a song as country almost never gets played over here)

Oops. Sorry. It is known that I am NOT a Cash fan. But this Springsteen piece has some real deep associations for me, and I cannot abide what Cash did with it. Then again, there's no accounting for taste!

Nice to see some support for Ben Christophers - The Hooded Kiss - uploaded that back in November, and my upload success rate is pretty miserable so far! Might improve my stats if it makes it to the hallowed playlist!
