| toterola (Further) | Posted: Jan 05, 2013 - 19:48 I saw Booker T. play live with the Drive-By Truckers at Coachella in 2009. One of the single best musical memories of my life. |
| kysmet (Central Florida) | Posted: Jan 05, 2013 - 19:44 I rated this an 8? WTH? 10! And I'm not nearly old enough to be thinking about a retirement home yet.  |

To be honest I just want to make sure my kids put me in one that allows sex, drugs and rock and roll until I can't do it any more. |

| buddy | Posted: Jul 17, 2012 - 01:05 Yer thinkin' too much. This is the cool you were looking for, my Padawan. Is cool, was cool, and ever shall be cool. It surrounds us, goes through us, and binds us together with the force of everlasting cool-cattiness. Ya dig?          |

I could also say that about classical music. My relationship with classical is sifting through hundreds upon hundreds of songs before I find one or two I like. But when I find that one I like, it makes it all worth the time. So much classical sounds the same though. Music must be free from any rules, dogma, constraints, styles, theories, etc... When it is constricted by these dominant modes, it suffers into stagnation. We are right now in the greatest age of musical creativity, and I seriously mean that. Well, you know that "good" is still a subjective judgment, but I'm not sure I've ever heard R&B called "stuffy" before. I know what you're getting at about stagnation of creativity, which can be true, particularly within specific genres of music (such as R&B, or chamber music), but all music is not constricted by styles and theories - it is often structured and defined by them, sort of like grammar or color theory - where even defying or altering traditional conventions is still acknowledging them. Just about every song that you (or anyone) have rated a "10" is still based on very old concepts of music theory and melodic and harmonic principals, unless John Cage's "4' 33" ", or something like that, is on the playlist. Obviously, rules and dogma could be called "constrictive" though. It could, potentially, be "the greatest age of musical creativity" in some ways, but I guess it depends on who one asks, and one wouldn't really know until the future. |

I saw the Cream in London in 1967 and Fleetwood Mac at the Manor House pub in 1966. Then there was Hendrix. Those of us that grew up in this period were lucky indeed. Thumbs up! |
