Side effects of hip-hop...

"When hiphop started,it was produced & created by people who loved it. Once corporate America realized it was outselling Luther Vandross & what they call 'music', they trashed it like they do everything else." Lady B

See,that's the problem...the fact that rappers were outselling a Luther Vandross in the first place,I got bored with rap really quick. When I was in high school,in the late 80s, I spent more time listening to Prince's Sign 'o' The Times & Lovesexy albums than rap, but I noticed the people around me neglecting real musicians & bands to focus on rappers. So,the idiotic masses lay the groundwork for what the record companies would do, & now,each decade since,the "music" gets worse & worse. Its not just the lyrical content that has dumbed people down, I think the lack of musicianship has done more damage, you get more from a song that has actual instrumentation than some mess that's just "beats"...you get intellectual stimulation as well as an emotional connection to what you're hearing.







AND..

It speaks volumes about Wendy Williams, that she would have Mr.Tip Drill on her tv show yesterday, not that I'm surprised, considering the people she glorifies on that show & the kind of sleazy things she talked about on her old radio show ...which makes sense considering those radio stations were basically hiphop stations with a little bit of R&B thrown in, if you wanna call that R&B. Most R&B of the late 90s & beyond is more hiphop than soul anyway!


And shame on  Queen Latifah for having that Nikki Minaj on her show-a video vixen in her own videos(!)- she said something about Lil Wayne discovering her or whatever......now,what kind of a woman would associate with a fool who raps about his sluts having oral sex with his dog?

Think about that.................

Her twitter has 17 million simpletons...oops,I mean followers.......and an audience of women going crazy over her.


SICK!

No muscleheads...oh no!

I remember when I was a little girl, having a little crush on Adam Ant. Any man I've been attracted to since then is basically a similar type. I don't think its a coincedence that the usual image for a male rock star is somewhat androgynous-long hair,skinny,more beautiful than handsome. Can you imagine a rock-n-roll frontman looking like some hypermuscular conan the barbarian type-yuck.....with a thick neck & pecs?! NO!

I never bought into the whole "big & strong" propaganda. Not only was the music better in the 60s,70s, & 80s,the men looked better! I can't see a woman turning down a young Mick Jagger to be with some big,dumb football player. Seems like now more than ever, women are brainwashed into wanting oversized & macho- especially if the woman is a bimbo.

HA!


Joe Manganiello is repulsive.

Zappa on Schools

gullibility:   "When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda..... But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies, don't need reconditioning....   They'll believe anything."   C.S. Lewis

Man's best friend?

When they say dogs are man's best friend, I think they really mean the AVERAGE man cause some of the most brilliant, interesting, complex men seem to prefer cats:
Mark Twain
John Lennon
Frank Zappa
Ian Anderson
Ernest Hemingway
Leonardo Da Vinci
Charles Dickens
Edgar Allen Poe
Victor Hugo

HA!

Tim Buckley - Come Here Woman

A THINKING listener with a sophisicated ear knows that music is MORE than something to play in the background . From the album, Starsailor - which everyone should hear.

Home Sweet Home

A recurring dream
Me trying to get home
Lost........
In a state of confusion
Like being trapped in a maze
Never finding "home"
Maybe its because I haven't found home
Yet..
What I've experienced has never been much of a home
No understanding
No empathy
You sit back as so called loved ones
Break your spirit
Tear it up into incalcuable little pieces
And you're still searching for all the pieces
To put yourself back together

The Question Of U

The way he plays that guitar, its like he's playing notes that have never been played before, like he made them up. Its as if this song comes from some other planet. With that guitar, he makes you want to cry, & takes you someplace else.
At one point, it sounds like the guitar is crying.
Its a shame this song, along with the almost as otherworldly Joy In Repetition are on the soundtrack to a movie we're not supposed to like, because of that a lot of people probably have never heard it.
I'll take both of those over Kiss anyday!

A different kind of airhead....

If I see one more babymama blasting misogynistic thug "music" while her kids are in the car with her, I'm gonna scream.
It's not enough these women don't have enough intelligence, depth, sensitivity, grace, etc.,to NOT pollute their "minds"with this evil..they have the stupidity to encourage their offspring to listen as well.
Its freakin child abuse.

Liberated?

Why do I feel like the only woman left on this planet that isn't overtly sexual? That leaves something to the imagination in the way they dress, I mean, whatever happened to mystery? That's NOT interested in making sex tapes,  & NOT interested in taking or sending nude or damn near nude pics?

I won't be anyone's Hottentot Venus!

I think alot of these chicks think they're empowered or liberated, they're wrong, they're actually doing what misogynists want them to do-they think their worth is in their body parts-that's not liberation.
They're objectifiying themselves.
