Whenever I see a Brian Eno album posted in the “What Are You Spinning Now?” thread, my first thought is: “Brilliant and creative artist whose positive influence on contemporary music is incalculable.” And my immediate second thought: “B.D.S. asshat.” It is a case of “I like the music, but not the …

Bootzilla, no personal offense or judgement intended towards you, my apologies if it came off that way. When I used that term it was just in reference to the current internet climate where seemingly no public figure can escape the wrath of being called out by someone who’s offended by a belief, stat…

@Photon46 : I did not take offense or think for one second that your prior post was directed at me. No apologies necessary, but thanks. I simply wanted to draw the PUBLIC/PRIVATE distinction expressly, because there are posts in this thread that seem to lump everything together and conclude that we…

Not related, but they dropped my girl friends portrait off the Land O’ Lakes butter packaging. Now, that my friends, that’s a pisahua! My point, which I will eventually get too, is if one is to be PC, please make it worthwhile! Let’s stop hunger, wars, pandemics and many great challenges. Chas

I’m a big fan of The Fall as well and have been since I first heard there music in ‘82. And while I would have gladly shared a pint with MES, I would have never wanted him as a house guest.

After this has gone back and forth now for so long, I’ll reiterate my earlier thought - that, simply put, I support artists whose artistic expressions I enjoy. Call me an ostrich if you must, but I feel no need to learn about any of their socio-political views, or personal foibles, that might otherw…

You would be wrong. Even Joni Mitchell wrote a song about it.

[image] aangen: You would be wrong. Even Joni Mitchell wrote a song about it Even if the 1994 Joni Mitchell song to which you refer – “Not to Blame” – was supposed to be about Jackson Browne, it would not be proof of anything. And in the same year that the song was released, Joni expressly d…

My Interesting observation about Joni, Jackson and Daryl, the latter two ‘may’ have inspired the song. The song, not the reason for writing it, is the only element here that is certain. The circumstances concerning those people are not certain.

I had heard rumors about him and Hannah, but admit that, based solely on limited media coverage, I chose to think that her credibility suffered. That may have been blindness on my part - reading Mitchell’s lyrics just now, her song seems a damning indictment, for sure, though it appears to focus on …

Funny that you mention Jackson Browne. In another thread on this forum, someone claimed he was a wife beater. I had not heard that allegation before, so I Googled it. After reading a detailed overview of the incident in question, I posted a response in semi-defense of Browne:
