Does Milk Soothe Heartburn

The Last Of The Great musical mad genius


Well, the Jacko. His music has been to me over the years increasingly care less but he always took care very good care of children. You have to hand it to him. The "Thriller" I was then very great. Then gradually got to know the early stuff and appreciate, remember me, even to his fire accident the Pepsi commercial. The only sound very dramatic, is made less dramatic then and now responsible for his tablets consumption. Physically and mentally (and thus presumably also musically) ruined by Pepsi. Then able to get a Coke. Cola, not line.

as the "Bad" then came out, I felt the first "too old" for this music (just one is yes, if you're young. You want hell-bent on being an adult. Later white mans then better) and was second I am also disappointed when I heard wrong. hardly any good songs and a horrible, Unsoul production. Only "Liberian Girl" was also super. (Incidentally, I will always "Librarian Girl" . Leave Also a nice topic. Which reminds me back to the great piece "Karen" from the Go-Betweens. In which is about a librarian. Librarians. Hihi. I lose the thread ...). And "I just can not stop loving you" was also okay. The others all sounded so, um, cold. What is not so bad in principle. In Karftwerk it is as great if they sound "cold". Or at My Bloody Valentine. But not in Jackson. Secure an absolute low point in the work of Quincy Jones. But the 80's were so general a very difficult decade. In particular, for soul.

his later records I've hardly touched it yet. The Singles I was stupid, the production has annoyed me, but I'm sure he has as yet made on each plate, a good two pieces. He has largely lost touch with reality, but the talent was not wiped out completely. Even if it all fell more and more into the background. Thank you, Pepsi. But I was always more and more for Prince.

told Just over 10 years of wonderful Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout times in an interview that he is working on a song cycle about Michael Jackson because he was so fascinated by the figure. The cannot and the artificiality of the tragedy. The times I would be very interested. Is determined at somewhere McAloon in the closet and he has no Bock to publish it. The other day he said he is currently in a Brian Wilson phase. Only without doctor and without psychiatric drugs. And presumably without Sandbox. But, I'm going to emphasize not tired: Paddy McAloon is probably the last real, still "functioning" genius of the pop world.

One of the other projects, of which he spoke 10 years ago was "Let's change the world with Music: The Blueprint." A great title. And now appears in September. And I can tell you: This plate is another monument of exuberant beauty and love. In addition, because items are on it with such beautiful names like "The Last of the great Romantics" and "Earth: The Story far so". Especially the latter, I think absolutely yes megalomaniac and fantastic.

Paddy McAloon Prefab Sprout or have me so many years ago, forever captured as they had their short Radiohitphase. Since then ran just always "Cars and Girls" on the radio and I got the first one the way one listens to the radio. By the way, no further attention on it. And then I eventually found that the chorus line is: "Some things hurt more, much more than cars and girls". And I knew: This is not a food charts, this is not a lifeless product, this is great art. Intelligence. True poetry. Too smart and too sensitive to long a large number to the "business" to be. But that has become a career with many great masterpieces of the century and a real drive. "Steve McQueen". If you have his record must be called a good one. One of us. Only better.

So now enough of the first hero-worship. I fill the bathtub with ice cubes now and am trying to slip away from the sweltering heat.

a good
