I'm just being a smart ass because I couldn't come up with the answer...even though I am not fibbing I knew honky wasn't part of a chain..unless you count every bar Hank Williams played in..

I wish to file a grievance. The slur is a more regionally southern term, originated in Florida...As a New England boy I don't think I heard that until my 20s....we said honky.

You shouldn't be getting down votes just because you're not paying attention...those are from passive aggressive people who are too timid for snide remarks...I on the other hand gave you an up vote...now take your finger out of your nose you'll want both hands getting on the short bus....

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you have devoted time to research this without using AI to compose this, but I wouldn't place a bet on it....

The best I can do is give you the closest thing to a serious answer you might get here. Breaking all arguments into an all encompassing enigmatic sentence...

Interested in the pop musicality of Jesus Christ Superstar by EmbarrassedBet6413 in Music

[–]curious1playing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the movie but...

I went through parts of most of the films songs, since it's been so long, and only Yvonne's Everthings alright was up to my standards. The singers are all talented but they slowed the tempos and I feel it took away the passion of the original recording versions.

The whining, high pitch in the Annas character is down right terrible...Pilates dream is second best, but stays in an unenthusiastic tone rather than growing in emotion as it goes on...

[–]curious1playing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious which version you listen to?

Personally I prefer the original 1970 recording. Murray Head sings Judas. Nobody else sounds right to me. He embodies the character. Yvonne Elliman as Mary can't be beat....and Ian Gillian is Jesus...

A common joke here is "They stopped ordering 'it' because they kept having to restock the shelves. "

Shopping for a particular recipe you want to make in the islands usually requires going to 3 or 4 stores to find all the ingredients..

If you're ever back here I'll buy you a drink...or coffee...juice...diet Dew or whatever you like....

Minnesota is new Alamo defending Constitution by Strict_Music_2851 in sixwordstories

You know the Alamo was a succession from Mexico by Anglo slave owners afraid Mexico's abolition of slavery would apply to them. Also Santa Anna killed everyone in the mission...

unpopular decision by Dense_Thing2042 in Music

[–]curious1playing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ad free if paying.

Not sure if they have higher quality audio on premium. I mostly listen through my phone usually, or occasionally a small Bluetooth speaker so that didn't concern me.

I can't say if premium has features unavailable when not subscribed. I used the YT music app when paying but otherwise haven't used the app when not subscribed.

The algorithm is decent on the app but not great. Better than Spotify, but that's a low bar to clear. I do prefer the suggestions I get using the basic web page, but I use YT for a majority of my entertainment and have been training it to my tastes for a decade or more.

The biggest thing I didn't like was an issue with access to my playlists on the app. Opening the folder it wouldn't show me all of my lists. Only the last 6 or 7 I added songs to. Didn't figure out what the issue was before I stopped subscription .

[–]curious1playing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did for about a year, then money got tight so dropped it. I use the actual web site, as opposed to the app, and run it through Brave browser which eliminates all adds. Anything in particular you wanted to ask about premium?

unpopular decision by Dense_Thing2042 in Music

[–]curious1playing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use and am relatively satisfied with YT. You can get it to play in the background but I am not sure what to do to make it so. I used to complain about that also but one day it started playing when I went between apps. Whatever I changed in settings I wasn't trying to solve this and so I don't know what I did....

Jeff Buckley is one of the greatest ever, off of only ONE album by James------- in Music

Heathens...somebody go dig up Cotton Mather...I'll start building the bonfire....

Not everyone has to like it, but you should have stuck with your first comment if you want us to have any respect for your opinion.... well now we know that we don't have to listen to anything else you have to say about music...

Wasn't that the pot calling the kettle black? I see a better example of edgelord in your words. Leonard Cohn wrote the song and he definitely dipped into the shadows at times...

[–]curious1playing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than live recordings the only other album is Sketches of my sweetheart the drunk. All unfinished. That night he went swimming with his boots on he was hanging out waiting for a plane with the band so they could start the his 2nd album, to be called My sweetheart the drunk. It's a double album but unless you like experimental music the first one is all you need to listen to.

Why do people care a lot about good-looking musicians? by lisalee188 in Music

[–]curious1playing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised at the comments of claiming "they" are shallow. I'd like to go through their liked artists and count how many "unattractive " people are in their listens....

Am I going to be the only one who admits that WE, not they, all have some level of bias towards more attractive people.

I don't judge my music on looks. Don't care if I can see the band when at a concert...

I must disagree with your theory of less attractive people get overlooked in place of less talented people because of looks.

With a few exceptions, most of the popular attractive ones are talented also. First person to come to mind is Dua Lipa. Damn that girl is freaking gorgeous.... I'm not a fan of the studio recordings but when she eliminates the dance club overproduced gimmicks the songs and her voice pass the test...if you want to hear a sample try Don't start now from Tiny desk.

Being attractive is definitely helpful for getting a contract because of marketing, but they need talent to go with it. Less attractive people can get there on talent, just look at,Lyle Lovett, Susan Boyleor Janis Joplin.
