No question.

What would be today's equivalent?

Cardi B and 6ix9ine

The Now and Then release by The Beatles is damn good.

Even if it is AI-generated.

How much of it is AI? I saw Paul and Ringo playing instruments for it.

It was something about separating Lennon's voice from the original bad recording via AI.

Regardless, I liked it.

It beats everything on the current music chart.

I wonder what this does.

White cockney half dead band might not register with today's American music listener.

I wonder what this does.

According to YouTube, #9 on trending music. About 7 million views in about a week. Interesting.

In case you didn't know, Muse's bass player is amazing.

Most impressive version of that song I have ever seen, and I absolutely LOVE that song.

My goodness I wish I had his skills. That is a devastating bass line. Downright relentless. Never really listened to Muse before, I am a big Tool fan, and a lot of the old guys like Stanley Clarke, and Jeff Berkin, but he is a stone cold badass.

Just because she did the halftime show yesterday and it reminded me of how impressed I was with this video of her playing guitar with long nails.

She was also so pretty when she was young.

Wat? You've never seen the Prince version?

No I don't believe I have, but Ill find it and have a listen. I have a ton of respect for Prince as a musician for sure, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if his was better, dude was a genius.

Holy shit. That is amazing.

 

[Bipo]

I saw a good Cash impersonator a few months back. Can't let yourself stay in his grand daddy's shadow. Do your own thing. Hank Jr and Hank 3 are great examples.

I'll do the work for you.

I had found it, just wouldn't play on the shitty satellite connection here on the rig. When the weather clears a bit it probably will though. I appreciate it.

CSB time.

When I was about 16-17, I was giving my grandma a ride back home from an appointment in town. (she lived about 25 miles out of town) I started to change the radio station to something I thought she'd prefer, but she told me to go ahead and listen to what I wanted to. I didn't want to play anything too hard for her, so I put in a cassette tape of Van Halen. Of course, the first song to play was Panama. She said she thought it was a pretty catchy toon. Until this part...

Yeah, we're running a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat coming off it.
I reach down, between my legs...
Ease the seat back.

Her eyes got pretty big, but she didn't say anything. I quietly turned it off and put it on the country station.

Sorry grandma.


Funny how times change to what is shocking and what isn't. I wonder what my grandparents would think of today's music. WAP might have stroked them out.

Yep. Just think back to Ed Sullivan banning the Doors for saying higher. 15 years later Van Halen has those lines which are much worse. Nowadays they're practically boning on the radio.
