If you’re grouping me with crowd you’re mad at, I think you have me confused with the others.
What else does she have to write about? I know nothing about her other than her failed relationship with John Mayer, and now Jake Gyllenhaal (which I had no previous knowledge about), but after so many failed relationships, one can surmise the issue is with her. Jake G says he is a private individual, and unfortunately, he has become tabloid fodder. Seems kind of vindictive on her part, but as I asked in the first line, she probably has nothing else to write about. Not sure if she is political and writes about politics or current events, but there are a lot of music fans that don't want to listen to political music (although there are a lot who do like that too).
To each his own. No rule that says a man can’t enjoy a 30 yr old female pop singer’s music.
Are you saying you wear a dress as you prance around in the mosh pit? Not that there is anything wrong with that. I do that so I don't get a total beatdown in the pit. Don't enjoy all the arse-grabbing though.
Maybe we should switch to walkers/canes like that old dude on the train we saw at the Slayer show. 😂
I'm back to lifting heavy 5 days a week. I may need a cane or walker the way my back is feeling.
I remember back as a kid there was a Saturday morning kids game show called "shenanigans" that I absolutely loved. Jump out of bed , grab the cocoa puffs, lucky charms, or trix and just glue myself to the set waiting.
Well.. clearly the people who are in that group know who they are when they read my message. And "mad" is not quite right... "opposed to".. that's better. I can be opposed to an argument they make or even their motivation (that I assume or imagine) for making such an argument.
Do you actually only listen to one type of music? While my go-to music is punk-alternative-indie, as per my quoted post above, which I assume establishes enough "manly" cred, I also like classic rock, R&B, soul, electronic, hip-hop, and yes, some pop. Maybe expand your musical horizons a bit.
I’m not in that group.
....a week late but need to man-up this thread:
Happy Belated 50th Anniversary of the great Zep IV:
Led Zeppelin IV

I watched all on my own while doing my nails - probably shoud've started a separate thread on it to see if I could make certain posters' heads explode, lol. Adele is an incredible talent and I thought some of the songs were superb, but I'll admit I got a bit bored by the sameness of the songs selected - basically all kind of bombastic power ballads meant to show off her vocal range. Of course, I was also flipping back and forth with the Chiefs-Raiders game (to keep my testosterone levels from falling too much), so I missed "Rolling in the Deep" which I think would've been the only up-tempo song in the set.
Classic rock and rhythm and blues beyond metal, hard rock, punk. Just can't get into most popular music, especially today's, which mostly seems devoid of talent. Don't know or care enough about Taylor Swift to put her in that category. The two most out of place bands/artists I can think of that I like/liked are Whitney Houston and the Go Gos.
They got the wrong Zeppelin album in the movie. Kashmir was on Physical Graffiti.
I was classically trained in wood instruments and then switched over to guitar. I love thrash and metal but like club music too. I will listen to other genres of music but pop is way down the list for me along with country.
Are you saying Misty Mountain Hop, Four Sticks, Going to California and When the Levee Breaks are not makeout songs? Those songs sound like a sound track to my high school dating life.
iirc 2 different scenes--Kashmir was playing on the car radio, but yes that's a cool fun fact.
No, just saying they played Kashmir in the movie which was on Physical Graffiti, not Led Zeppelin IV
Yep, that always bothered me - while Fast Times is a classic, it was sloppy filmmaking to get that wrong. Black Dog would've been a much better pick for the film, IMO - or change the dialogue to mention Kashmir if that's the song they wanted to use.
Actually, I liked her music before I ever saw her (she wasn't all over every medium when she first came out), but it certainly didn't hurt that she was pretty and talented.
Maybe, maybe not---goofy dork Mark Ratner had no clue about Led Zep lol and put anything on ---or they weren't at the "point" for Zep IV.
I'm still pissed about him dying for my then 18-year old self's very selfish reason - we had tickets to see Zep when he died, and I hadn't seen them yet and obviously never did.
Fair point about Ratner not knowing Zep, but he's nothing if not observant and I think he would've followed instructions - I still think it was just a gaffe.
For me she is an extremely talented lady…Gaga is another ultra and extremely talented woman… In my younger days 50’s - early 60’s loved Shakira another super talented and HOT lady. I completely understand you enjoying the arts. Keep up the good work and let’s root Rutgers to victory on Saturday.
Greg Ginn is a genius. But talk about a person who was difficult to get along with. He's old and a strange dude, but maybe Taylor Swift could date him and she could write a song about that. That's one I might listen to. Never got to see the real Black Flag live. But did catch the Rollins Band performance of the West Memphis Three album at Irving Plaza in NYC.
