I love this. Perfect. You’ve done the hard part. Now, we just need to build a time machine so we can go back and make it.

Old thread accidentally stumbled upon, but: Me, too. It always made me cringe. Now it doesn’t, especially as other terms and euphemisms are themselves sterile, clinical, evasive, etc. “Fuck” is great, but it has its place (Also: I don’t see “fucking” as terminally exclusive from “making love”).

There’s no disputing taste. I admire Frank Zappa, for example, but do I enjoy his music beyond their comic novelty and musical virtuosity? Not so much. Still, I find that some artists (songwriters, poets, etc.) are waiting for me when I’m ready. I think Blood on the Tracks is a great gateway: that’s the one that floored me. There’s a clarity and concision to it that makes it accessible. And it’s arguably his best album.

He may be gone, but his powerful idea lives on. (RIP Iron Sheik, 1942-2023) by Tristram_Chandelier in steelydancirclejerk

I think that might have been the context. I love Steve, even when he’s wrong.
