andsome Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 You are probably better off listening to South Pacific. Most of the music in it is at least tuneful, which is more than can be said for all the bawling, shouting, banging crashing and weird noises that pass as music in some quarters. Don't get me wrong. Some so called popular music is very tuneful, I can appreciate someone who can sing in tune, even though the particular song may not have much appeal to me. I can also appreciate a good instrumentalist. Far too many so called pop stars cannot by any stretch of the imagination play a guitar. They just strum it and make three or four chords with the other hand. No way can that be called playing, why the hell can't they take a few lessons and learn to play the damned thing properly? They get paid enough to be able to afford the lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 andsome, playing a musical instrument requires a modicum of aptitude, even if not talent - things sadly lacking in the sphere of pop "music" where the only talent necessary (it seems) is to flaunt one's genitalia in any way possible short of being illegal.

catgate Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 the sphere of pop "music" where the only talent necessary (it seems) is to flaunt one's genitalia in any way possible short of being illegal.Would it not be a good idea to make "music" illegal, and legalise all the rest of the it? It would certainly make for more colourful viewing! Think of the effect on viewing figures if things like "Songs of Praise" and "Trooping of the Colour" could also be included.

Since writing the above my mind has been plagued by thoughts of the things we are missing on TV due to rampant prudery. If it were not for Mary Whitehouse, and her ilk, insisting on no nudity, we could be enjoying "Prime Ministers Question Time in the Raw", "Any Questions in the Buff", "F1 Grand Prix", and who knows what might turn up on "Antiques Roadshow". Certainly when it came to Party Political Broadcasts we would know who had the largest majority. Additionally the Farming programmes would give us an insight into who had smallholdings.

Worst of all thought would be Mary Whitehouse in the all together. (I always thought that the "W" in that harridan's name was not quite the right one to use. Perhaps the letter between "R" and "T" would have been more appropriate.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Isn't it strange that your thoughts on the name Whitehouse are exactly the same as mine. Mine, however, apply to a certain residence in Washington (and its current occupant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 ..........and all this has got what to do with the music from South Pacific??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 .........and all this has got what to do with the music from South Pacific???Well now. You must remember, in South Pacific, when the small girl, with the odd socks, got out of the boat, which had just brought them back from the "land over the mountain", she asked the nice English clergyman if he thinks there is such a thing as "always muffins for tea". His reply, of "Oh, not necessarily, my dear", has always reminded me of my uncle Alf. Now uncle Alf's mother, Muriel, was a Wapplethwaite, from Harrison Street, and although her mother had been a Methodist, she married a ginger haired Weslyan, who was just a little bit reticent. Fortunately for uncle Alf the reticence was not the of the "transmisable" sort, but the hair colouring was.As a result of this he, uncle Alf, decided that his future lay in the church as a monk, and as a result took solemn vows of chastity and baldness. Need I say more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
