A younger Not Bob was more in the John Was The True Artist camp (of course, pretentious Not Robert pretended not to like the Beatles at all, claiming that in the transition from Hamburg teddy boys to clean(er) cut young Englishment, Brian Epstein had turned them into capitalist tools who further whitewashed music). Now I sing "what's wrong with that?"
Does this mean I am old? Hopelessly middlebrow? Both? |
It depends. Lately I have been listening to the Sirius station 1 above Coffee House. It plays hit songs by big singers. Example: if you listen for 2 hours you will hear Taxi and Piano Man. I listen because, while I wouldn't chose that music at least it doesn't make me want to puke, and every other station plays too much shite. If you are listening to this type music for a similar reason you're fine.
c.f. buying tickets to see McCartney or Billy Joel.
PS I hate the Beatles.
PPS we also need to hear GGG's thoughts on the issue. I believe Patti Smith wrote "Pissing In A River" about time she spent with him?
