Disco Duck Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Of course he did. Why do you think it was called the "Wings Over America" tour? That's the 1976 tour I was talking about. There were several more Paul McCartney & Wings tours until Jimmy McCollough's tragic overdose. As for the scourge of blasé front row audiences, that's been a problem ever since VIPs got preference over real rock and roll fans in the distribution of tickets. Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I meant was hadn't Wings toured the U.S. before 1976? They had been around since the early 1970's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Rap is the most annoying, monotonous, repetitious shit I've ever heard. The dimwits sample from other songs which just shows they can't come up with anything original unless it's some sort of 'beat.' I'm sorry but I've hated it ever since I heard that stupid 'Rapper's Delight' back in the 70's. I've never liked rap either. Not only do I not care for much of it on purely musical grounds but I think it is also a symptom of a worrying trend in American society in general and African-American society in particular. Music education and access to musical instruments are no longer available to most poor and working class kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes for different folks. As I stated earlier, I don't care for most of it but I do think the best of it has artistic merit. I just consider it more akin to spoken word than music.

I think "The Lemon Song" could be a good rap song..."you ain't nothing but a two-bit, no good, piece of jive." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecil. Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Isn't that special? :^) Well I never met Elvis, but it was all down hill from there. I would have been a "leading scientist" if it had not been for hearing Led Zeppelin.,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If you let this kick in Chuck D is great on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCx5Std7mCo I tried the closed captions but they were all weirded out. I wanted to know what they were saying (you know what I'm sayin'?) But it sounded like they were talking about other rappers being jealous of their (Public Enemy) success but they were also bragging about being # 1 everywhere. That doesn't sit well with the jealous types. In my opinion rappers are like bike clubs and they will never get along because of the gang/power stigma (Bloods vs. Crips----Hells Angels vs The Mongols). I did like the horns and that sounded 100 times better than the one note shit you hear on most rap stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horns were almost certainly sampled from an actual song done by someone else (i.e. actual musicians). Rap doesn't have any of the elements that I listen for/appreciate in music: melody, a lyrical perspective that's interesting/insightful/relatable, appealing and original music.
