Vertically or horizontally ?

That's when she ended up horizontal when

No, I think you'll find that's death.

I had a "thank you" wave from a driver coming the other way when I'd
pulled into a passing place on a narrow road in Deeside. The front

My long dead dad once told me that many years ago whilst he was loading up
a wagon in Manchester the Queen came past and waved at him.
He said that he turned his back on the sponging ****.
I hope that counts.


Trust me - he wasn't your biological Dad.

IME of current teenagers, they generally have wider musical
tastes than we did, and a particuar style of music seems less
integral to their identity.

Not because they are inherently more open, but just becuase it's
more accessible. With the ease of sharing digital music,
bitorrent, YouTube, Spotify etc. You have a vast range of music
available free or very cheaply.

I'm enjoying it as well, Me and eldest share a Spotify account, I
was never really into buying lots of records when younger,and I'd
mostly stopped listening to music other than the radio. But now I
probably listen to a wider range of music now than I have done
for a long time.

Yeah, I download quite a bit of it for a 13 year old whose system
doesn't allow him to get it for himself. I don't normally listen to
any of it, but when this one wasn't available on torrents, but
was on youtube where he found it for himself, and since I was
extracting just the audio from that, had to listen to it a little,
was surprised at how decent it was to listen to.

Not quite in the same class as the Beetles or Abba, but pretty decent.

My taste can be pretty esoteric. I'm into Glass and Reich for example.

Those vocalists are struggling to hit their notes.

So how do you feel about the Beetles and Abba in that regard ?

I think there are golden ages in popular music and we saw
several in the latter half of the 20th century. Also some
dire patches too, such as when hip hop was dominant.

And **** like Elvis etc.

I'm not sure digital compression, free streaming music
libraries, narrow casting and music videos are sufficient
to pave the way for another golden age.

IMO they are for the reasons that Chris mentioned.

And the other massive difference now is that anyone can
do anything they like with very little capital outlay and
can get it into the situation where anyone can listen to
it without any gatekeepers involved at all anymore.

Agreed in spades. My own son, now 15 and an active guitar player, grew
up listening to me playing anything pop/rockish from the late 50s to the
80s or 90s, which I think gives him a good background. Now, his taste
is more modern rock, but he still appreciates the older stuff. Most of
what he plays is fairly modern, but he also plays House of the Rising
Sun, Smoke on the water, Don't fear the Reaper and other classics from
my era.

I think it is terrific fun. We introduce each other to music. I lost
interest in modern stuff years ago, but he has rekindled my interests,
and I find myself enjoying music I would otherwise not have heard.

What is interesting though is his attitude to physical property. He
doesn't have records or CDs whereas at his age, my modest record
collection was my pride and joy. Even today, I still have thousands of
45s, LPs, cassettes, CDs etc., most of which are never played. Most of
the CDs have been copied to hard disk, and, if a particular track or LP
comes to mind, a couple of clicks and I can play it via my hard drive or
YouTube, cast to the 'hi fi'.

I've noted your dissatisfaction with Elvis's singing.

It isn't the singing, it’s the **** he howls that is the problem.

I used to think that too but I had been watching only the
older Elvis and saw him as a Rhinestone greaseball rehashing
old songs to old ladies in Las Vegas. Then belatedly I saw his
early material. Oh wow. It's truly electrifying. Such a very
real talent. Amazing material but I don't suppose you agree.

Yeah, wouldn’t listen to any of his **** even if you paid me.

Meanwhile, here's a singer I like. Celia Cruz is far from being
everyone's cup of tea. The Afro-Cuban salsa song is tremendous
and the derivative themes they include are, to me, very lovely.
However I know the rhythm can be hard to tune into if you're not
fond of this sort of thing and might feel hopelessly disjointed.
It's great party music.

No thanks, but then I'm not into opera either except when done by Glass.

For a toe curling cringe, here's the video version. I can only
hope the negress stripper, dayglo wig and all the bizarre rest of
it are one big awful tongue in cheek spoof and wonder why a major
salsa singer like Celia Cruz ever did it.

Presumably for the same reason Elvis did.

To be honest, I'm not expecting anyone at all to like it but
I don't care and, anyway, my deflector shields are up. :-)

A Jap would at least have the decency to disembowel itself.

Don’t make a mess of the carpet |-(

Looks like a nice boy.
