Whitee - Purveyor of Fine Beats...Provider of Lyrical Treats
Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.Sunday, March 13, 2005
Music has been making me sad. Well, as I'm sure you have been reading here, everything has been making me sad lately, but music sure isn't helping much:
*I just can't seem to write anymore. I really think it may have to do with my reduction in drinking. I don't write better drunk, but I sure do come up with some great ideas and so do my drunk friends. When I sober up...that's when the writing takes place. I sure don't have any ideas right now.
*They keep playing this Soul Old Timers concert on PBS. Everyone's voices are fine, but I just don't need to see these 60+ year old folks stiffly trying to move on stage. It's awkward. I'm worried that one good "Heh" and someone's gonna break a hip. And as much as you'd think it would be cool to see Clarence Carter singing Strokin, when it's this million-year-old dude....it's just creepy.
*I saw Roger Daltry doing an informercial for a Time/Life music series. He looked like death warmed over, awkwardly flirting with a much younger co-host. And I thought he acted, too...it sure didn't look like it. What happened? Was Christopher Cross too busy for the gig? Rog, my man...you cats have your music selling cars and opening for CSI...do you really need the money this much?
*Lastly...I don't know what to make of this. I just...it leaves me speechless. If your browser has the QuickTime plugin, you can watch it here. Darius Rucker as some kind of gay cowboy, hawking BK. What the hell is Hootie doing making gay burger king commericals? I mean, black gay cowboys gotta eat too, but...damn. What happened? Was Terrance Trent D'Arby too busy for the gig?
