you just anwered why its not good as it was…

entitlement princeses who perform are not the same as the women of the past in that theater of entertainment.

the women of the past had substance, the women of today are all surface image… they expose themselves to gain cache, while in the past they covered up and had to have talent.

but sex does this which is why prior to modern feminits sex was put in the shadows, as its drowns out everything else and cheapens it when made common.

the BEST women in the industry, and some of the best men are in the bacground making people like miley and others sound better than they could ever be..

take Carol Kaye… you dont know her probably, but she is a studio musician… top bass player… wow.. played on an estimated 10,000 recording sessions in a 55-year career

a lot of the up and comers cant even play instruments, and a lot are part of what they call audition groups… the monkeys were such a group (and the man that created them got so upset at their thinking they were artists, his next created group had no such problems, it was the archies). i worked on a project to create a girl group R-Angels

a lot of what you see or hear today is manufactured for your consumption and quick buck, which is what happened to music… Sony recording was a big part of that. think of it as factory made bands and groups…

the old days were better because more people could play instruments and so could judge music much better and without the funky tricks and sounds that people find popular… much like the singing contests in which holding a note is de rigeur to get big applause. (big deal, try doing a changing aria that covers more than 4 octives and then i will be impressed!)

most people have very little knowlege of the back end of the industry… they like groups and people but dont know who makes the sounds and who makes them famous!!!!!!!

many people know Jeff Lynne from the band ELO, but very very few know his contribution to music in total… it goes WAY beyond his work with ELO

Lynne has produced recordings for artists such as the Beatles, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Roy Orbison, Dave Edmunds, Del Shannon and Tom Petty.

In 2008, The Washington Times named Lynne the fourth greatest record producer in music history

[i LOVE his house!!!!]

but poor country western… being from flyover country, it never seemed to survive gillys and robotic bulls… 🙂

Ruyter Suys is a really good guitarist, but who wants to tell their coworkers they love to listen to nashvill pussy?

i would prefer to listen to Memphis Minnie… but she is blues and jazz… without her there would probably be no muddy waters, and others.

but her style was of her period… just listen to her and compare her to people like

‘Doctor Doctor Blues’ MEMPHIS MINNIE (1935) Memphis Blues Guitar Legend

to people like blind willy mctell, of whome the great rock and rollers stole lots of music from these black performers and didnt give them much credit (bob dylan took willy mctells stuff and the house of the rising sun was not originally from the hits)

[and the idea that the blind singer was rare, is funny as there were about a dozen of them before the modern era!!!]

Blind Willie McTell – Statesboro Blues

if you think the song is famous it is but made famous by gregg alman…

all of them were plagierizing these earlier performers and making these superior peices of music shine with the use of studio equipment

Yes, I know that Asperger’s usually involves a lot of taking things literally. That’s why I tried to explain the metaphorical aspects of the song.

Of course, metaphors are tricky because they use an image (often a dramatic one, like the one in the song) in order to conjure up that image, although not to literally mean it. Both things exist in the mind at the same time, if the metaphor works.

People with Asperger’s Syndrome can be very literal and concrete in their thinking. Like you may ask them, “Could you go to the store and buy milk?”, and they’ll reply, “Yes” and then go back to what they were doing. From their perspective they were answering a hypothetical about whether it would technically be possible for them to buy milk or not.

They also may get confused by more figurative or metaphorical language. For example, two paragraphs above this one I used the term ‘rein themselves in’. Someone with AS may picture themselves holding literal reins, and wonder why someone would ever do that to themselves.

I think I prefer Cam’s metaphor to Peg’s indifference…but a song is just a song.

Is there a market?

It may even be the clock radio you had in 1970. 🙂

It’s pretty old, but it works just fine.

You are a very literal person indeed.

The song is NOT about dying in a fire. That is a metaphor. It is about a dream as metaphor. The metaphor is for a relationship that died, but the people didn’t die. The lyrics, taken as whole mean that the singer knows it could never be (“See you at a party and you look the same/I could take you back but people don’t ever change”). The relationship cannot be, but not because of death–both people are very much alive. The singer wishes it could be different—even dreams that it could be different. But even in her dreams she knows it cannot be, so in the dream their being together represents a metaphorical death, the image of the burning house.
