Because we that are here following your writings understand that we experienced the same "good" time. Music in the 70's and 80's was the best, all by design. Supertramp, Alan Parsons, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, a hundred more. Someone growing up now? Oh my. It can only be a script that is being run, almost telling us solipsism is what is it.
nice clip with excellent points presented wryly without whining. "forced" music is indeed the mighty emotional Wurlitzer at play. (agree about Metallica...ugh!)
Thank you for your creative insightful comment. Very much agreed. It is one of the ultimate black pills....coming to terms with what we have emotionally identified with. Painful swallow for sure. Best regards, db.
I remember when Metallica and Ozzy would never be played on the radio. Now they get played nonstop everyday. Casinos use the same technique that retail stores use, playing up lifting music, carpet floor patterns and happy colors on the walls and signs. They can use music besides classic rock but apparently it brings back memories of the good ole days and people want to relive it just a little bit thru their purchases
I had been sending donations to Ensemble Ptashitsa in Russia for many years. After each of their Youtube livestreams, I would send 20 dollars or so. I always received an email of gratitude from Ivan, the leader of the group. When the Russia Ukraine event started, I got my Paypal account locked and my bank account was locked as well. I was able to get my bank accounts back, but to this day cannot link Paypal to my bank account. I could no longer send donations. Ivan released a statement about not getting deceived by stories in newspapers on Ukraine and Russia, used to divide us. It was a brave statement inferring media fakery. There were ALWAYS many Ukrainians in the livestream chats of Ptashitsa. These illusions of borders and countries could not be clearer. A year after my donations stopped due to this "war", I received a Ptashitsa calendar in the mail from Ivan, signed by the group. He said thanks for ...
My first concert experience was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 1970's. I won tickets by calling into a local radio station and identifying the song Candy Girl. During the show, Frankie walked off stage and was very close to me. I held a pen and the ticket stub down to him. He took it and autographed it for me. I will never forget it. Unfortunately, he is one of these controller/celebrities who must continue to perform regardless of their age. Trump, Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell are all example of this. https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/12/they-must-perform.html Bob Dylan to reunite with Willie Nelson for Outlaw Music Festival tour Dylan 83 years old...Willie Nelson 91 years old https://www.billboard.com/music/country/willie-nelsons-bob-dylan-outlaw-music-festival-tour-dates-2025-1235891171/ Frankie Valli still on stage. 90 years Birthdate: May 3, 1934 He's currently scheduled to tour through April 2025 and h...
Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker posted identical videos—word for word—right before Trump’s speech. pic.twitter.com/1iYUuuhaEN — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) March 4, 2025 This is the definition of “The Blob.” Zero original thought. All reading off of the same script. All holding the DJI microphone trying to look like a Zoomer YouTuber. It’s the party of pure unfettered inauthenticity. A grift machine with replaceable parts. pic.twitter.com/dqU4SsYz40 — Autism Capital 🧩 (@AutismCapital) March 4, 2025
