Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home
(Oct 19, 2011 - 02:05)
Bill, I humbly request that you open your mind to other tracks on all the albums that you play. Great choice of artist, always the SAME track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
(Oct 19, 2011 - 01:05)
How so right you are..keep up the good work. Cynaera wrote:

I love - and will always love - Harrison's music. But I read Clapton's biography, and he has a big, empty place in him that refuses to acknowledge his mistakes, other peoples' successes, and any hint of happiness. He's like a traveler, walking through life, observing events, sometimes even being part of those events, but not giving praise or blame, or anything. Neutral.

IMO, Harrison is the more "human" of the two. Clapton is genius on guitar, but Harrison was genius on life and love. Neither of which impacts the music, I guess, but I'd rather hear a bad song by Harrison than a good song by Clapton, based on what I know now.

If you don't get it now, then let's just be polite and say you weren't there then. Music is part context, part, music, part lyrics. As a participant of the time, these guys were exquisite poets who could say it better than anyone else. And this applies to most of the icons of that time. And who understands poets fer godssakes! Well, we did, at least our own poets.

I love this whole album. Although the politics are different from those where I live, in the details they are pretty common human issues, and it fires up the rebel inside.

Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits did a good song once. They have recycled that song many dozens of times since. If you've heard Sultans of Swing, you've heard their (his) repertoire.
