I don't think anyone is surprised to know you would think that...
How are the Nazis doing in Norway these days?
Thankfully there are very few of them. However right wing populism is on the rise. Like in the rest of the world unfortunately...
By attacking what they label as political correctness and the cultural elite, simplistic views and solutions on complex problems have become popularized.
As is the far left. The political discourse is exclusively between two minorities on either side of the divide. We’re all very different and sometimes we need simplification - even binary decisions - because it’s an impossibility to satisfy the various nuanced opinions of millions of people.
Haha! I plain forgot he is a nazi. Or that I am. Good thing you reminded me.
Are you sure? That word is thrown at a lot of people these days.
But that isn t a problem. They stand for the good hate.
I really enjoy all of those. But The Beatles (not their individual members) are up there together with Bach and Beethoven for me, never to be surpassed.
They are quite different to me. Why prefer one to the other?
He thought they were American?
He was a smart guy and really knew his music, so I'd be surprised if he thought that. I can only guess it was either a slip-up, or an exaggeration that they were SO great that you're anti-your-country if you don't care for them, who knows. Odd statement either way!
Being patriotic sure is complex concept in America it seems ;))
Very odd!
I guess Beatles is one of those bands/artists you "have to" like, and that many of those who are fans really can't understand that some people doesn't care for the music. Same with Bob Dylan. I can listen to both, though.
And having Emmylou Harris sing "Every Grain of Sand" (something I, as an atheist, choose to listen to when I WANT to feel sentimental), or countless other cover versions by hundreds of artists, still make me feel Dylan's work is pure greatness and never fails to have its effect on me.
Since we're talking of music: Bob Dylan did not deserve his Nobel price and he's a rather mediocre poet at best. Without his music his songs would be rather dull. I can't stand Madonna or Michael Jackson.
Agree. I've never understood why they are so popular.
That's one thing we can agree on. Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince are among my selection of people epitomising the status of being "overrated". I also never understood the cult following of David Bowie and a few others from that earlier period. But I guess that's a natural consequence of being a "cult" personality.
That's why I mentioned her. It struck me that I don't like her or see the relevance of her birthday.
It really has no news value either. Plenty of good, popular artist celebrate their birthdays without getting a mention like that.
When she turns 100 (if she does), then maybe that would make sense. But now it's probably because we're in August.
She will turn 100 in August as well.
I mean there's fairly little news this time of year.
