Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 2, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I was listening to some of the songs off of Behind The Mask and Time, two of Fleetwood Mac’s lesser known albums from the 1990s. They are just as good, if not, better than some of the Buckingham/Nicks material. And then there’s the bridge era with Bob Welch that gets little attention.

I recall reading not long ago that the Testimony "autobiography" is in fact not as off-base as its reputation holds. DS's son Maxim acknowledged that while much the text is fictionalized (i.e., dramatized), nevertheless it captured him more or less accurately.

Of course I do, UM. End of Winterland, wasn't it? I was a sophomore in college. Missed some important classes, but it was worth it.

@coela: Perhaps even in this it reflects the Meaning that TheBeatles have had for us personally & culturally. I think is some people's take on it. Not that I condone the counterfactual presented as facts. Revolutions in the head indeed... An annotated presentation might be optimal (not expecting one)...

(@121) that's a generous perspective,Rabbit!
i personally don't like the fact that many younger people who don't know better (& older ones that don't know better) finish that book thinking the beatles generally borrowed all of their ideas from other popular songs.
...although he's in constant contradiction, in that he makes all those assertions, then exclaims how they changed everything!
he also references another book by one steve turner, which i'd read prior and been pissed off about exactly the same thing. assumptions and hypothesis stated as fact.

@coela: What TheBeatles' influences & specific (ahem) antecedents were could of course be its own book... Not even Beatles, Coltrane, Hendrix, Keith Moon ...certainly not Dylan steeped in Folk - came as completely out of nowhere in a vertical flash as they often feel (the 'Great Man theory'). That is - they were keenly aware of Others - as I think Masters generally must be.

true, RR but -gathering that you've not read it, he mentions "influence" occasionally; but mostly he's talking about directly taking chord sequences, etc from other songs...and sometimes it's a 3000-mile stretch.

I reckon Brian was both spiritual inspiration & a practical stone (in fact ...Stone) around their necks. So cut loose from him - they ran far & fast indeed ...but to increasingly less interesting places. Manner of speaking.
Also think Exile On Main Street is the best Rolling Stones *Album* - if not their best *Songs*.
