“Us Dinosaurs”

February 21, 2015

We talk about then and now, it always goes to “us dinosaurs”, then it goes into some babble about there is tons of music today, more than ever. However, I call bullshit on all of that. Let’s just center on the extraordinary talents of Gerry Goffin and Carole King. In particular, Carole King. Writing her…

White Culture Stole a Good Idea from Black Culture

Let’s clarify a few things, and withhold the IMHO. So this group can have some depth and not the typical nonsense of other online groups. – The whole “it takes ten writers to write a song today”. Do you know why? It doesn’t “take” 10 writers. That was created so one particular publisher would have…

Best quote of the Petty/Lynne/ Smith fiasco, concerning the writers of Smith’s song: “Not previously familiar with the 1989 Petty/Lynne song.” Because they were clearly living under a rock. You fight if you’re innocent, not throw your hands up and go, here’s the settlement. The rest of the songs suck, that says it all. He’s…

Ramble on about the money to found in Asia and on Jupiter. However, their goal is simple. Acquiring copyrights. Not so much…
