That said, I was on Skype with a friend back home in Colorado last night. They are in ‘lockdown’, but mechanics and construction workers can still go to work, auto parts stores are open, etc.... What’s the point of lockdown then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What’s the point of lockdown then? The local wife didn't mind the local girls coming over for drinks and dancing? I should have picked Malaysian Chinese instead of Taiwan Chinese I guess… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is nothing but poetry spoken to a musical background, no harmony, no melody, no musical talent whatsoever. That said, RAP was never intended to be a musical genre. RAP is an acronym for Rhythmically Applied Poetry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Regan + 1,776 April 5, 2020 (edited) I just went down a rabbit hole watching a few live classic bands live on youtube and realised that the millennials have had it so easy. When I went to gigs (events where band perform to the public) you were checked for recording devices, some bands promoted it by separating areas where you could record the show, bands like The Grateful Dead were famous for it, I recorded many bands and made bootleg tapes under the duress of being instantly "ejected" by security with my Professional Sony Walkman. Another point for the millennial they dont have to leave the show with a burnt thumb either, its not fair, they have been allowed to enter shows with a recording device and lighter in one, this has actually caused the music industry and bands to charge huge prices for live shows as its all gone digital. Bands historically never made a profit on touring, the money was made on selling records, touring was only marketing for the latest record that had been released. CDs started this digital piracy and that was the death of the music industry, many good new bands failed due to the introduction of CDs. Gone are the days of going to Woolworths on Monday to get the latest 7inch single of your favourite band, now you just sit on your ass and its delivered to you whether you want it or not. Okay Im good now, as I'm surfing the internet in nano seconds covering decades of music- Thank the lord for the Millennials and the digital age..................

After I posted George last night, I plugged in my sennheiser headphones and watched entire concerts at excessive volume and loved every minute of it. There's a trick on YouTube, you run the slider to the end and then start over and it skips the commercials. I don't mind funding the artists, but the ads take me out of the live show mood. Watched a great Jethro Tull concert that way, after George, just to mix it up a bit. My generation was damn lucky at how many great bands we had to listen to, and live acts came through all the time. If I had it to do over again I'd have hit more concerts, but I was too much of a purist and had a killer stereo with home built speakers with custom crossovers I also designed and built. Eventually built my own amp, part tube, part digital. Those were the days, wish I had any of that stuff now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What’s the point of lockdown then? Bend the curve - i.e. rationally reduce the rate of infection but let it propagate slowly. Vs. the Chinese way that was insane and left everyone in suspended animation for two months, leaving the country vulnerable to another breakout. The end result you want is that most of the active population is immune, and can't be a petri dish to convey the next outbreak to the elderly and ill. The Dem states in the East adopted insane shutdown procedures for no purpose after their city populations reached 30-50% infections. They hail their methods and goals from China. The positive test numbers are staggering in the big cities. NY metro is well over 50% in the burroughs and immediate suburbs - i.e. subway commuters. Manhattan has lower infection rates at about 40% since more of the population Ubers and walks or bikes rather than pack into the subway at rush hour. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
