Actually, a lot of this isn't particularly true. The 335 isn't exactly a hollowbody guitar, was released in the late 50s (after Chuck Berry became famous). And the Fender Esquire and the Les Paul were already around at this point, designed specifically as solid body electrics. Amplification, guitar specific or not,…

I think its terrible musicians playing bad sax. A bad guitarist can hide in the background, but a sax solo by someone who is awful can't just blend in.

Maureen Tucker is campaigning for the Tea Party so it could be a whole lot worse.

His haircut is also about how he likes the past better.

I'd argue that anything beyond Wynonie Harris is bloat. But I'm also a narrow minded jerk.

"Also, the court of public opinion is also not a formal body. It's just…opinion." Oh my god I'm going to have to rethink everything I once thought was true.

This was sort of pointless as anyone who wants to know about their insanely popular period already knows enough. And I'd always heard that they were originally sort of a blues band. What a wasted opportunity to discuss their completely different first career, when they actually were a white-boy blues band (fake for…

The scientologist thing is just so weird to everything else about him. However, he apparently has been one his whole life, so its a bit more excusable (but hey I was raised catholic and didn't stick with it because I'm not crazy). Apparently he's also a bit out of touch from basically being famous nearly his entire…

He writes a lot about his film making. I remember reading a book that was some variation of Woody Allen on Woody Allen. I remember him giving a lot of credit to Gordon Willis for his own development as a film maker (such as not having a character on screen while speaking). It had an effect on his writing. Then,…

It was really hard for me to not walk out on Everybody Says I Love You (int the theater). Not that I was expecting greatness, but that was just terrible.

This is really scraping the bottom for subjects…..

Thanks for the input Krusty…..

I one time sent my parents to a play (thinking I was cultured) that I'd read good reviews about in the New Yorker. The only problem was that the reviews failed to include a key element of the plot in attempt to not spoil the story. The main character was a cross dressing man (not that shocking to most but my parents…

My friend interviewed John Badham while we were in college film school. All he wanted to talk about was Dracula (which he thought was unfairly unheralded) and the technical details of Stakeout. My friend had a hard time making that interview into an interesting paper.

You will soon be single again…..

How does it sound?

They are thin sounding but this can easily be fixed with the proper amp. Led Zeppelin 1 was mostly recorded on a Tele with a (then) cheap, tiny, completely overdriven Supro Amp (now these are really expensive). As long as you are using an overpowered or overdriven amp that provides some natural compression, they…

Too obscure

I think they had great lyrics but they were pretty odd. Such as the reference to Cathy Berberian. And the best all time put down in rock music "turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening."

This list is wrong. All 10 should have been Steely Dan songs. Thank you internet.
