>rofl< Tommy for some reason you strike me as one of those pseudo-intellectual post punk elitists. K? So? Wait there really wasn't a point to this thread, not like I was trying to pull off a "great revealing" otherwise known as an Apocalypse. It was just random bullshit, like the rest of my posts. though there may be some actual content in some of the things I've said, and that may or may not be intentional.

If you want a good definition of a chaotic person, that would be me. G'Day, wait you're scottish not Australian >shrugs< oh well. As for the rest of you for your Burn Maim Destroy comments. Congratulations, welcome to my humble abode.

Tommy, I myself would be willing to submit that you are indeed an intellectual, mainly because I am an intellectual, or so says every teacher I've ever had, and you seem to be on or above my level of intellect.  However, your point is quite clear.

What makes you elitist is that I have only seen you dismiss a band in an off-handed fashion. Almost as if your tastes are the only ones that count. I will agree with you for the most part about probably 60% of the bands you dismiss....and I said "For some reason:" then the other statement. I didn't say you were, I said you struck me as. Now being that that comment the way it was worded could only be taken as a vauge comment towards your demeanor. It is not insulting, just like telling someone they are a purist for drinking black coffee....

Tommy hates most of the bands that I love (which, unfortunatly, are similar to the bands that you love). And yet, you don't see us constantly fighting. There is a perfectly logical reason for this and it is that I am not bat-shit fucking crazy, and a complete and utter prat.

I dunno. I listened to Solid Gold again. It was okay, I could dig it, but there are a lot of other albums from around the same period I would rather listen to.

But uh, yeah, notwithstanding that your point is pretty much dead on. Same with you, Hat. Excellent job all around.

Really, I think this thread should be about convincing me to enjoy Gang of Four.

I think the best episode was the one with Christopher Meloni as the child doctor.

I kept imagining him just grabbing Cox and slamming him into a table and telling him he was a sick bastard, and as much as I like Dr Cox, it is a miracle that still has not happened.

I have never been a member of the Communist party. And I also have never watched Scrubs. I neither want to watch entire seasons of Scrubs on DVD, nor do I even want to accidentally see a few seconds of it when flipping around the TV. People I trust explicitly have assured me it is one of the least funny shows ever, and since I don't think Zach Braff is funny in the least bit, I think I can live happily forever knowing I never watched Scrubs. Or was a member of the Communist party.

My trust in said people is explicit. I have said out loud to them "well, I trust you" when they either talked me into or out of things. I think that's explicit, no?? It certainly isn't implied trust.

I fucked up anyways. I meant Pat Boone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Boone), a crooner who early in his career covered black musicians' songs for white audiences, "paling" them in the process.

Quote
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, Boone is a direct descendant of the American pioneer Daniel Boone. He grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, attended David Lipscomb College and began recording in 1954 for Republic Records. His 1955 version of "Ain't That a Shame" was a hit, selling far better than Fats Domino's original version. This set the stage for the early part of Boone's career, which focused on covering R&B songs by black artists for a white market. Previously, rock 'n' roll had had only limited exposure outside of the African American community. Pat Boone's pale covers gave attention to the more authentic original artists as Little Richard and Fats Domino, and to rhythm and blues in general. In addition, the songwriters and copyright holders benefited even when individual artists did not.

Which neatly skirts around the fact that, essentially, what he did was a dick move.
Title: Re: Just to Clear up some Questions....
Post by: Hat on 11 Dec 2006, 09:15
See, I never really figured replacing "An" with "A" a decent slang term anyhow, because an is just an easier way to lead into words starting with vowels. If anything, I figured it would be more likely colloquial black language back in those days would use an, seeing as to use a, you have to start and stop, making you sound like a prim and proper yankton cocksucker, whereas less proper language loves a good drawl.

But then again, I know fuck all about the blues.
Title: Re: Just to Clear up some Questions....
Post by: Johnny C on 11 Dec 2006, 10:43
Your explanation makes a lot of sense, although it doesn't account for the stereotypical poorly-educated blues player, an archetype which Burnside was probably playing to.

Anyways, the Pat Boone thing was an allusion to the recording industry legend relating to Boone's cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame." Boone, so the story goes, was a college-educated man and thus appalled at the terrible grammar in Domino's tune. He refused to sing it on those grounds. The suggestion that the lyrics be changed to "Isn't that a shame" was eventually coaxed out of him, at which point his handlers realized they had to talk him out of it. The song was eventually recorded as written, just... whiter. The story, however, has gone down in some of the more forgotten annals of music history.
