Dylan at AU
« on: April 04, 2004, 12:49:00 pm »
ok so we all know that bob dylan is really old, really scraggly, and kind of scary looking. however, he's still pretty damn legendary and i think played a great show last night. i didn't know every single song he played, but it was no matter because it all sounded wonderful. instead of one encore he did two, which was fun.
 
 complaint about Bender, though: mainly just the location of the bathrooms. for real, the lines were so insanely long, but then were all compressed behind more seats and walls that it was almost impossible to move. badtimes.
 
 overall, i thought the crowd was pretty cool - lots of aging hippies, lots of aging hippies with their kids, dads bringing their sons and daughters, random stoners, college kids, and the like. the permeating smell of the incense, however, wasn't so cool. ugh, i hate incense.

I love it when people make fun of the people that still go to 80's shows when they are going to freakin' 60's-70's shows.  :roll:

Better yet Guiny, is how so much of the newer music that they listen to is strongly influenced by so much 80s music now.
 
 I almost can't wait for some of them to age about 15-20 years and watch them have to put up with much younger people telling them how washed up they and their music are. Better yet, all the insinuations that they should just stay home and rock in their rocking chairs and not in the rock clubs.
 
 It's attitudes like that that will make them age before their time.    :D
 
 I think that one of the few exceptions is Walkie, ironically, one of the youngest people on the board. Cheers to you Walkie!   ;)

BERKELEY, CAâ??Nineties punk Drew Tolbert, 29, expressed scorn Monday for the punks of today, denouncing them as "phony poseurs unworthy of the word 'punk.'"

I love how all the older people are all so bitter, and group everyone else on the board in to one group no matter what the topic is.

That's only happened after so much bashing by the younger people. Or in some cases, some of the older ones who can't break out of the 'getting too old to rock' kind of thinking mode.
 
 Turn around is only fair play.
 
 You rarely ever see on this board older people making fun of younger people and their music, at least on the basis of age or newness. It happens but not much. But you do very often see others tearing apart seasoned rockers or older music.
 
 As a statistian would do, throw Flawd and Mankie out of the picture. They are the extremes of either side of the issue.   :p

Same here. Part of the reason I rarely bother with critics. I tend to only skim to see what's out there, not what they think about it. Once in awhile I find something I really like and it turns out to be something from years ago that slipped past my radar and it's as though it's brand new to me. Generally, it all has to do with my own personal taste and my moods.

You go and see crap like Berlin and Flock of seagulls. Its not that its old that I take umbridge with, its that it was crap at the time. It is crap now, and till the day the sun burns up it will always be crap.
 
 I like music from every decade except the 50's, I save that for Rhett. The only people who do not like music from more than one decade are Guiny and Mankie, who only go to shows if the band or its members acheived fame in the 80's.
 
 phew I feel better for getting that off of my chest.

So what's your favorite artists from 1900-1949?  and where do you thing the Beatles, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Who, etc would be without the influence of artists from the 50s?  And I do believe that Bowie got his fame earlier than the 80's...

You can like a band without liking their influences.

I meant the Rock and Roll era. Which probably really started in the 50s. The 50s thing was just a nod to Rhett and his liking of music from a past decade, but not the 80s.
 
 Oh yea and what Pollard said.
