Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 20, 2023 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 do use that site! The other day I was looking up the "Batman" TV theme and hilariously the secondhandsongs site broke the covers up into "English" and "instrumental."

I realized that if there were no backup singers they called it an instrumental. But if anyone sang "Batman" they called it "English."

When my dad went all in on CDs, his good friend swooped in and scooped up all his Dylan records, just at the moment I’d have been ripe to discover them. (Later, that fine man didn’t show up to the funeral, or even call.) The result is that I’m still today discovering Dylan, leaving that late teenage part of myself perpetually fed. Maybe the theft was a gift.

I recently came across a video of Dylan doing “Gotta Serve Somebody” in one of his recent concerts and you can hear every 3rd or 4th word clearly. Every other word just sounded like moaning and groaning. Dylan needs to admit that he’s had nearly 70 years in the spotlight and it’s time to hang it up.

Nowadays, people see Bob Dylan in order to achieve bragging rights. It’s not so much about the show, but rather the artist themselves. Same thing with The Rolling Stones. I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that I won’t be seeing any of them in concert ever.

It’s one thing to do 3 or 4 new songs in your show, but not the whole record taking precedence over your body of work. I saw Neil Young do that with the Greendale album and he only had time for 5 old songs at the end. I have disdain for veteran artists that only do new songs in their shows.

well, I'm not ging to argue with you, but I disagree.

I kow I'm not the only one who wants to see artists grow and develop over time (even if I don't particulry like the results) and not be ossified in the form in which they first became famous.

I'm not arguing particularly, I usually want to hear the "hits". You can often search online and find set lists of a touring artist, get a sense of what they're playing.

...there's good songs, there's fun songs aplenty in the World
...but Dylan gives like fundamental tools for Life. You carry these Songs - & you freaking *use* them to navigate the whole mess of society & existence...
& - the thing about it is - the tools *he* uses to do it - they were never high-concept or fancy. They're in ordinary five-cent street vocabulary. & in traditional Folk chords & melodies. The better to, in fact, carry them. They are - in other words - in the Forms of the People - of the soil, if you will.
