who is Bob Lefsetz?

trying to pretend the super bowl is anything other than a theatrical performance is ridiculous

I stand corrected on my take on his interest in seeing traditional songwriting and performance after discovering a tweet about him chilling w/Skrillex's dad: "He's proud. He should be"

I hope the MBV album sells a billion copies, forcing this doofus to write some reactionary "kids today" piece.

i'm not like a beyonce super fan or w/e but goddamn what in god's fuck more could you possibly want out of a superbowl halftime show????

People playing instruments that you can also masturbate to?

What's Marah up to these days?

chillin' in philly

Oh shut up with your cliches:

And you know what's great about Bourbon Street? The people! They haven't got ugly, lumpy, imperfect people in Los Angeles, they're stopped at the border, like in "The Grapes Of Wrath." But here in Louisiana I came in contact with the real America, one that descends to the southern tip of our country to let loose, because while those on the coast are pursuing their career dreams, those in the middle know it's about having fun, and that's what you do in New Orleans, party.

Sub "Sixth Street", "Texas", and "Austin" in the appropriate places and he probably published the same thing about SxSW.

Is Lefsetz allowed in any cities by that criteria

They haven't got ugly, lumpy, imperfect people in Los Angeles, they're stopped at the border

did I never drop my Lefsetz is Vizzini science itt?

?

please do

getting taken by bourbon street in 2013, yeah...

His post also described his love for some lame jamband he saw at Jazzfest.

it's so weird when ppl say stuff like that i wonder if they've ever been to L.A., there are all kinds of normal looking people in los angeles

Leftsetz lives in L.A. but apparently never looks around or in the mirror

Lesfetz spends all of his time poolside at the Chateau Marmont iirc

Lefsetz is the drummer for Gay Dad.

Oh hold on... His latest email wasn't even thinly veiled racist diatribe. Let the games commence...

i saw this one recently and i was just awestruck by how dumb this guy is

http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/index.php/archives/2013/05/10/are-foodies-quietly-killing-rock-and-roll/

lol

he is the brains of the music industry, of this I am sure

it was funny cuz it was someone on twitter who was like "Great stuff from Lefsetz as usual" and I just glanced and assumed it was an ILXor being snarky so I tweeted back "lol" but I think they were being serious :/

even better imo

"Lefsetz daft punk"

Howard Stern always goes on and on and on about this dude.

Was “Gangnam Style” a fake?

You’ll think so after reading this article. If nothing else, you’ll learn how to rig the game. That’s what today’s media manipulators do, make you think you’re living in your own self-created world when the truth is you lived in a walled Disneyland, where your odds of building a ride are bupkes.

Bupkes!

His instant pronouncements make me wanna do a SNL "really"

And I realized everybody was smoking because I saw them out last night in Piccadilly Circus. I'm used to L.A., where there is no nightlife, where everything interesting is happening at home, and you're not invited. But there's definitely a scene in London, and it's not only there.

Have you seen “Book Of Mormon”? There’s a tribal chief with a name so OUT THERE, so OFFENSIVE, so SWEAR WORD, that I cannot use it in this e-mail, or you won’t get it.

Yup, I love to use the F-word. But I can’t. Because too many of you work for uptight corporations with spam filters that won’t let that word through. Yup, you think you’re so hip, that you’re not like your parents, that you’re open-minded and accepting. But the truth is so many are still on the treadmill of life, working for the man, and we depend upon artists to show us the light, to question convention, to stretch our minds, to show us the POSSIBILITIES!

lefsetz on a recent stones concert is a+

It’s weird, because as buzzed as the audience was before the show, during it they were relatively sedate, there were no peaks, until Lisa Fischer sang Merry Clayton’s part.

War, CHILDREN!

Lisa’s the star of “Twenty Feet From Stardom” and she’s the star of the first half of the Stones show too. She misses not a note, her voice is so powerful, she exudes the sex in rock and roll that Mick Jagger can’t, since he’s dieted down to nothing, you can almost see his bones. What a sentence that must be, being unable to eat so you can fulfill the image of your audience, which has aged itself.

Hell, Lisa was not svelte, but if you think sex is about appearances, you’ve never done it. It’s about a spirit inside. And Lisa evidenced hers.

this guy is just so unbelievably dumb i think i'm getting kind of obsessed w/him

yeah who the hell isn't hate-reading him at this point

is his primary reader-base just bitter past-prime industry folk who miss the 90s?

or are they even older?

feel like it's mostly business mag readers who don't know much abt music (industry)

or miss the late '60s I would say. But he's got Kid Rock emailing him and lots of American music performers and supporters emailing him and other industry biz insiders. There was a big Washington Post profile of him awhile back that got into describing his readership a bit, I recall.

Americana I meant

He was a music biz attorney himself

why can't mick jagger embrace his inner curviness?!!

yeah i miss the voluptuous, busty mick jagger of the 1960s

my god he's bony now! Bony!

he's like a skeleton oh my god we're all going to die someday

the most LOL thing about the whole stones thing is that it's like a backup singer's big boobs gave him a boner and he turns it into some PROFOUND POINT ABOUT LIFE, it's that lefsetz magic maaaan

he's just someone's mean parody of a boomer

late to this one, but

There are no restaurant business schools that I’m aware of.

that is probably because you are as dumb as a bag of rocks, bob.

Going to the show is expensive. But food has gone downmarket. You can eat gourmet at a food truck for under ten bucks. Try seeing a music star live for that price.

I guess 'star' is the operative word in there but ... lol.

There is eating at a food truck and then there is going to Le Bernardin. There is going to a dive bar and then there is going to a big stadium show.
