Has Garth Brooks actually been referred to as the Godfather of Country? That's weird.

hard to look past Adolfo Constanzo

Pengest & Corsa (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 18 March 2017 17:38 (seven years ago) link

The 'godfather of punk' dies at 78. Alan Vega, one half of punk duo Suicide, has died at the age of 78

new noise, Saturday, 18 March 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link

godfather of weed seems a challengeable claim

mark s, Saturday, 18 March 2017 17:43 (seven years ago) link

And another--could probably turn up at least 15 or 20 in a search.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorific_nicknames_in_popular_music

it's curious what the criteria is for who gets to be a godfather, who is just a father etc (two ppl who are just God w/noqualification- Clapton and Todd Rudgren)

Sun of Art is the best one imo.

so all you need for that article is one terrible journalist using an epithet and there you go, Adele is the Queen of Soul

quite an accomplishment for Bruce Lee to become the Godfather of Karate without doing karate

Brad C., Saturday, 18 March 2017 18:18 (seven years ago) link

I remember reading through that honorific nicknames list a couple of years ago and noting the number of Mexican madonnas (which isn't all that surprising really)

samovars are trying to steep (wins), Saturday, 18 March 2017 18:29 (seven years ago) link

whether "Motor City Madman" should be counted as an honorific is the sort of shit i would get into fights over if i was depressed enough to be a Wikipedia editor

Ray quickly earned the nicknames "Mr. Emotion", "The Nabob of Sob", and "The Prince of Wails",[5] and several others.[13]

my dad used to tell me about seeing Johnnie Ray in a completely packed out Wolverhampton Civic Hall

Pengest & Corsa (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 18 March 2017 18:55 (seven years ago) link

I first came across the nickname "the nabob of sob" in energy flash (talking about the Ray sample in that portishead song) and thought it was something Reynolds came up with

James Brown was not a very admirable human being, but damn, he's the Godfather of Soul and he's unfuckwithable.
