i was so thrown off by his offtm tesla hot take that i ignored this stupid opinion:
"Live At Leeds," considered to be the best, even though I think it suffers for lack of crowd noise.
def needed more fake ass studio crowd noise! good one!

So, we're hanging, it's me, Lisa, Michael McDonald and Jimmy Kimmel. And Michael got distracted and there was a moment of silence so I told Jimmy I was going to do his buddy's radio show the next morning, he and Howard are best friends. And Jimmy looked at me quizzically and said "They can do that?" And I told him they'd sent me a suitcase and you hooked it up to the internet and Jimmy said...ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE WACK PACK?And then Michael re-entered the conversation.And I'm standing there thinking Jimmy doesn't understand, he thinks I'm some oddball and I must set the record straight.So when a break in the conversation occurred, I told Jimmy I was gonna be on because I wrote this newsletter that Howard gets.And Jimmy leans back, looks me in the eye and says...YOU'RE BOB LEFSETZ! HOWARD TALKS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME!

Part of his Keith Urban at Staples Center review When did concerts become tribal rites?
It was not like this back in the sixties and seventies, when classic rock ruled. There was a gulf between performer and audience, it was a show, now it's an EXPERIENCE!
...This was not a nitwit television contestant. It became rapidly evident that this dude could PLAY! Just like we watched "Ed Sullivan" and picked up axes a younger generation is being infected by the show and doing the same thing, Nashville's ridden with structural problems but the ability to play is not one of them, NashVegas is a hotbed of musicianship, and to be in the presence of this man-made sound is elating!
I feel like he once wrote that Woodstock and 60s concerts were tribal experiences and current ones were not...

P.P.P.S. My favorite cut on the album is “Sinner’s Prayer,” track 8, which barely breaks a million in cume.

Trump went to the finest school, Wharton, and it seems he only got juiced in it.He never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for him. He stiffed contractors. Didn't look out for the little people. Is it any wonder that those on stage have turned the tables?Nobody ever taught Mike Pence how to live out in the street and now he's gonna have to get used to it!

You know, there aren't many days when I wish I was back in, say, the 1890s, with rampant death, even more open bigotry and hatefulness and general obnoxiousness running things, but when I consider it would mean I could avoid the pontificating of Lefsetz on the current scene, it almost seems like a fair exchange.

on Kanye:
"I know, I know, we're supposed to have sympathy for the mentally ill. But we're also supposed to recognize psychiatric problems and steer the person to treatment, we did not do that, we stood by idly as this inane insane man whipsawed through our media until he blew himself up.
I, for one, have little sympathy.
I could commit heresy and say he's just not that talented."

In a world where even the NFL’s ratings are taking a hit, where vaunted TV shows don’t crack double digit millions in viewers, the truth is attention is scattered and you just can’t gain it.
Now you can rebel against this, to no effect. This is what the oldster musicians have been doing for a decade and a half. Their main message is who let the dogs out?
who, indeed, let the dogs out?

i'm not an expert but taylor swift is still really, really popular and successful right?
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link
yeah
and album sales-wise, Adele's "25" outsold it?
idk, I guess being a top selling musical artist internationally isn't enough because you're doing it wrong and didn't sell as many copies as Bob imagines you're supposed to
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link
outsold Taylor Swift's last album, I mean
who knows who streamed more? not me. probably not Adele, because she didn't let people stream her album. Taylor Swift let people stream her album, but maybe the wrong people?
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:05 (seven years ago) link
sorry my post was confusing he has grudges against both for different (or the same?) reasons, but anyway yes one thing that's pretty clear is the adele and taylor swift have really mismanaged their careers as evidenced by their quick fall into having to busk in the subway for spare change
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:08 (seven years ago) link
that'd at least carry some credibility. instead, they're up there making money the wrong way. the wrong money.

"We used to stop and listen to subway buskers, now we're too busy looking at pdfs on our Blackberries to even look up...wanna be a busker? good luck, because there's a better and more talented busker and every stop -- and they aren't looking for spare change - they want exposure, just like everyone else. The music business used to be about LISTEN TO THIS now its about LOOK AT ME and today's listeners have more things to look at then ever"
