From Brahms ' late works, jazz elder statesmen such as Sonny Rollins to Jaki Leibzeit of Can, Raja Ram of Shpongle, Brian Eno. etc.. they can continue working so long as they produce good sounds- and they often do- but them their music did not depend on mass appeal or adolescent fantasies so your point is still taken.<br />md if it is fueled by genuine emotion- rage for example - such as the reformed Iggy and the stooges- it can be valid as well-I would rather my kids saw something real and unchoreographed like that then a perfectly choreographed Lady Gaga showAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-20937206018615055632012-10-08T17:09:57.494-04:002012-10-08T17:09:57.494-04:00Got to disagree Law: All that would buy him is a s...Got to disagree Law: All that would buy him is a suit telling him what he can and can't write.

Nowadays, I just post here on the blog when the mood or topic strikes me. I'm much happier this way. <br /><br />Cheers!Bill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-54675474109597022612012-10-06T10:15:57.588-04:002012-10-06T10:15:57.588-04:00Hi Bill it's L4L.

Bravo, and well done.<br /><br />BTW are you done posting over at H.A.?

I have to say Roger Waters is still quite relevant socially and politically...I had the pleasure to see the wall live in Michigan (I got to check out Detroit by the way!)and he really made it relevant to the current world situation. If you ever get a chance (maybe you have) give the prophetic "Amused to Death" a listen...way better than anything "Pink Floyd" would currently do!Eyepilot13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06070666182233850228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-62514389620030994262012-10-05T18:59:56.162-04:002012-10-05T18:59:56.162-04:00"fat ass waddling around on stage in black Sp..."fat ass waddling around on stage in black Spandex" <br /><br />So true and so funny...thanks for the laugh BillCrash_Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985815560035214946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-72354033314947662422012-10-05T18:44:56.464-04:002012-10-05T18:44:56.464-04:00Hate to break it to you, but everytime I see ol...Hate to break it to you, but everytime I see ol' Neil interviewed, I cringe. He's the archtype doddering, drooling, '60s boomer who took too many acid trips.
