Well, you're in luck, because I just so happened to have the whole day free to do whatever I want today, so I went and listened to the whole thing again just to refresh my memory. Now let's see what I got….

Hmmm….sounds like you're leaning towards "Die Harder" with that attitude…..

Don't have time to read the article right now, but who else had the fleeting thought that this was gonna be about "When The Wind Blows"?

Hands up, who else always catches a (prophetic) whiff of Tago Mago/Ege Bamyasi-era Can from the break in the middle of that song?

Rock is half-assed; Hip-Hop is full-assed. *humbly accepts Stanley Cup-sized golden trophy with the words YOU FUCKING NAILED IT engraved on it*

If we can agree that the distinction between rock'n'roll and other forms of music frequently comes down to nothing more than money, image and demographics, and that usually these things are mostly controlled (read: manipulated) by white people, then a salient point can be wrung out of this otherwise absurd notion.

Oh yeah, and another thing - FLOWERS. FLOWERS, FLOWERS, FLOWERS, FUCKING FLOWERS. That album is Nikola Tesla-level under-appreciated. The deleted-from-Aftermath stuff is the better than anything that stayed save for the two big singles, it includes "Ruby Tuesday", "LSTNT" and stuff cut from the American Between The…

Amen to that. Even "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" has that euphoric horn buildup in the middle. I bet you anything that if the rest of that track were more like that, and the fluttering envelope effect on Bill Wyman's voice on "In Another Land" were turned down just a notch or two, and "Gomper" was about…

Ah, so THAT's where my Dad stole "FA;LD" from! And then proceeded to put it on promotional flyers for his own New Wave-crankin' house parties….and claimed he made it up himself……

I've admired Fear Of Music and Remain In Light for years. Dunno why I'm supposed to inherit your aversion here….is it contagious? Should I be wearing a HazMat suit right now?

I feel like '72 was the peak of PROG-ROCK as a singular, unmistakable form, and '74 was when it became overwhelmingly obvious that a lot of it was kind of stupid, despite the exceptions, but '73 was that perfect, dream-like, balancing-on-one-foot-on-a-unicycle-on-a-tightrope moment where rock music as a whole was so…

A man…..out of time, perhaps?

And I love hot sauce, too!

I mean, don't get me wrong, weed is great, but people who smoke it and listen to punk have gotta be the same kinda people who put hot sauce on their deserts….

Uhh……..YEAH! Totally! Really brings out the, uh….TEXTURE and AMBIENCE of…..a guy screaming "DO YOU THINK I'M A RAVING IDIOT???!!!" at you at the top of his lungs…..???

In other words, men.

Yeah, that's sorta what I thought, but I kinda felt like correctly spelling the name of more than one punk band on an article about the Stones was kinda gratuitous….

Drugs bitcoin, tickets drugs hip young dope. Dope tickets? Bitcoin drugs? Chumble spuzz.

Coming from Xenakis, that sounds like a compliment. Also, how hilarious is it that it somehow got misattributed to Elvis Costello somewhere along the line?

No, YOU won't. Because you're too weak and simple. The grownups can handle it just fine.
