which means you're a criminal. And also means if I catch you doing that crime/felony, I citizen arrest your ass right there, and take you to jail with my ,380 stuck in your ear, the whole way there.The prison inmates are there because they broke the law. Do the crime ; do the time. Don't do the crime : don't do the time.I actually like the music he and Common make. Their art is enjoyable.
But their political beliefs suck.
He actually compared modern day prison inmates (who are there voluntarily) to slaves.

They invented AND perfected it ya dumb mothafucka!Bullshit. Blacks did not invent rock and roll, and even one of the first Black rock guitar players of major note, Chuck Berry, was castigated by his own Black audiences in his early years, for playing white people's (Rockabilly) music.Black people invented every style of music you listen to today btw. I wish you many wigger grandkids whose favorite music is hip hop.
Also, some music I listen to (and play on 3 different instruments), American fiddle tunes, are 100% White European music derived from European countries (mostly British). The Black guy in the TV series roots, named "Fiddler" played these same tunes, and it is these same tunes, and Bluegrass (a 99% White American music) that my grandkids play on the guitar and mandolin right now.
No they didn't ,asshole. And what do you know about Jimi Hendrix ? I play his songs on the guitar. Like Purple Haze, Hey Joe, and Foxey Lady. You want throw Jimi Hindrix at me ? Let;'s see you can tell me what the Jimi Hendrix chord is, Mr. smart ass. Hint: it's in the E family (but you don't know what I'm talking about, DO YOU ?
Fuckin A punk! I've been playing guitar since 12! E7#9 ya mothafuckaaa! Dominant E7 and a shaaaarp assss 9!
Damn, would I love to go one on one with you and smoke your ass to cinders. I'd have you running down the street before I'd even have put pick up my mandolin, fiddle, and harmonica, to teach you have undiverse you are.
Just a few bars of Hendrix, Brown Sugar in G tuning, Gimme Shelter in e tuning, Crossroads, Separation Blues (Patrick Sky), Payday (Mississippi John Hurt), Cocaine Blues (Dave Von Ronk), Black Mountain Rag (Tony Rice), Home in Louisiana (Country Gentlemen), and awaaaaay you go, puppy.
And the guitar (modern 6 string was invented by Spanish maker Antonio Torres, a White guy in Spain.He increased the size of the body, altered its proportions, and introduced the revolutionary "fan" top bracing pattern, in around 1850. His design radically improved the volume, tone and projection of the instrument, and very soon became the accepted construction standard. It has remained essentially unchanged, and unchallenged, to this day.

What do you play? I've got 6.
PRS Mira (with BIRDS son!) - my favorite Electric
Martin OM-28v - I'd burn everything outside of the house to save this thing
A Cuatro by Freddy Burgos - the official instrument of Puerto Rico custom made by a local buiilder
A super modified Mexi Strat - I replaced the 3 pickups, got locking tuners, a carbon nut, American strat floating bridge, new saddles, and a marble pickguard. This was my first guitar. I installed all the upgrades myself after maybe 7 years of owning it. But the PRS still sounds lightyears better.
Ko-olau Baritone Ukulele - a masterpiece. Never would have heard about the brand but for a Hawaiian client I have.
Michael Kelly Mandolin - not gonna lie I only know maybe 3 songs on this thing
Your turn!
It's not a fantasy. I've made 5 citizen arrests in my life. That's really not many for a guy who's 68 years old. I know a guy in New York who has made about 2 dozen, and he's only 44. In general, I'd rather leave it to the cops, but there's that occasional time when you just have to step in (when women and children are being hurt)which means you're a criminal. And also means if I catch you doing that crime/felony, I citizen arrest your ass right there, and take you to jail with my ,380 stuck in your ear, the whole way there.The prison inmates are there because they broke the law.

If you were aware of my history, you would know that it wouldn't go down that way lol
But keep dreamin'. Keep fantasizin' away about catchin' them "bad guys" and paradin' around like some caped "hero" lmao
No he just participated in the rampant black race statements that pervade everything nowadays.I didn't see it. Did he demand that the winners give their awards to black people like they do at the Grammys?
FALSE! I spent a lot of time rebuking what he said in that other thread before the closed me out of it, and I had plenty more to say about it. I only added the music component, so this thread wouldn't look like an exact duplicate of other. still, Legend's BS about Selma is still the primary focus of this, dspite the sidetracking in to music talk.When you can pick up a guitar and even just tune it, you will have taken the first step to even being able to compete with me on anything concerning music. But to be on an even plane, would take you many years, and you probably never would get halfway there. I doubt if you even know that my mandolin and violin/fiddle are both tuned the same way. In musical ability and knowledge, next to me, you're just being born.Neither you or he have bitched slapped anyone or anything. You got a bitch slap in post # 56, and you showed off your laughable NO ANSWER in post # 59.I must at this time rebuke you WinterBorn.
I usually can post over the top and be savage in what I say, although factual.
I usually can depend upon your posts to have a calming effect and tone down the savagery of my posts.
So I have to rebuke you by stating with reservation...
You should not bitch slap the OP so savagely over the internet...he did ask for your phone number to make things more personal...lol.
I have made you look like a fool where the music was concerned. That has been an amusing bit of my day.
Maybe you can throw a tantrum and get this thread closed too? At least in this one you didn't claim you would have smashed John Legend's teeth with the Oscar, if you had been there. That was MOST amusing.
I'll have to figure out a way to get my playing into some videos so I can show you what REAL music is supposed to sound like, while you can put in your videos of your tambourine playing, or beating on some dopey drum.As for Lippy Legend boy, no, maybe I would have just walked on stage with a large plastic, trash bag, put him in it, and hauled him off the stage. That's another option.
Whether you can play an instrument or not has no relevance here. What IS relevant is that you dismiss R&B, Soul, and Gospel music as worthless. They are somehow less valuable, and so those who produce, create, or play them are less valuable as well. And if one of those who create such music, as opposed to simply playing someone else's music, wins an award, you have the gall to call it a "phony award", simply because you disagree with the statement he made when he accepted the award.
You spend far more time, effort, and words trying to demean the artist and his art than you did rebuking what he said.
I don't care who plays the piano, and many musicians I admire play it (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Chopin, etc)None of these clowns are playing any real music. And what instrument do they play ? The piano ? HA HA. Maybe they could be useful for insomniacs.You can dance around it all you want. But what I said stands. And yes, it is music. Good enough to earn him a nice career, accolades and awards. While you spent your time playing other people's music.
And I still do, because it's what I like to do. I don't need phony "awards". In the meantime, the John Legends of America continue to roll along, hoisting their flag of bullshit, about Blacks still being victims.
Phony awards? So you think his award was phony just because of the statement he made when he accepted it? That is simply ridiculous.
Right, because playing the piano is certainly not what a musician would do, is it? LMAO!! You really are stretching for more and more heights of stupidity.
Remember the people you said were laughing or rolling over in their graves? Both McCartney and Lennon played piano. The overwhelming majority of song writers play piano. Some of the greatest musicians in the history of the world have played piano. And yet you try to make it sound as though that is somehow second rate.
Truly sad. You disagree with what the man said. But you repeatedly attack his art instead. The upside is that you make a bigger fool of yourself every time you do.
I have my taste in musical instruments and keyboards just doesn't rate too high in my preferences. Ad I do think the guitar, mandolin, and violin, all of which I play, are superior instruments to the piano, which is not able to do many of the things that these other instrument can do. One can play much more music on a guitar, for instance, than on a piano, and in my judgement, it sounds much better. for those people who like hearing a piano, go for it. It's like auto racing. i hate it, but if it somehow makes some people happy to watch it, more power to them.,

I'll disregard your initial babbling as not much worthy of response, and proceed to the statement part. So you dislike Legend's statement about Selma being "now" also ? Just wondering.FALSE!

What happened in the other thread is not relevant. I do rremember you going on and on about your military experience and you wanting my phone number.
In this thread the overwhelming majority of the posts have been about music. Your own posts have been focused on music. Your disgust with Legend's comments as he won his Oscar have certainly been secondary. What is making you angry is that people are not letting you get by with your nonsense. You dislike Legend's statement? No problem. You want to claim he is not an artist or that his award is phony or that other musicians dislike him? Problem.

There is a lot of trash out there which, because of money dealing quite likely, gets a pass as being "good music". It's been this way for quite some time. I'm not interested in accepting that now any more than I was decades ago.I don't care who plays the piano, and many musicians I admire play it (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Chopin, etc)None of these clowns are playing any real music.

I get that you like strings. But your knee-jerk reaction of attacking or ridiculing everything that is not to your taste is petty and childish.

That is not what I said. I said it is no problem that you dislike what Legend said.
But your nonsensical posts about his music were ridiculous. And your claim that the thread is about his statement, when you yourself have posted over and over and over about music, musicians, instruments, and racial histories of music, is laughable..
One of the thing you should have realized by now is that you can start a thread, but you cannot control it (as you obviously want to do).
I not very interested in being knowledgable about Black people's "music". And the less I know of it the better. It's bad enough having to put ear plugs in my ears at the supermarket, to keep from hearing all those screechy Black women "singing" in the ceiling speakers, sounding like they're suffering from a bad case of diareea, with all that phony, and musically pointless note-twisting they do.

Indeed there is a lot of trash. But to dismiss entire genres of music is entirely different. And your initial assessment that John Legend is a rap artist shows your lack of knowledge on the topic.
And I don't attack something just because it's not to my taste. But I will attack it if I think it's bad music pretending to be good, and maybe even paying somebody off, to raise its image, among the less musically astute audience.I don't care who plays the piano, and many musicians I admire play it (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Chopin, etc)None of these clowns are playing any real music.

That is not what I said. I said it is no problem that you dislike what Legend said.
But your nonsensical posts about his music were ridiculous. And your claim that the thread is about his statement, when you yourself have posted over and over and over about music, musicians, instruments, and racial histories of music, is laughable..
One of the thing you should have realized by now is that you can start a thread, but you cannot control it (as you obviously want to do).
2. If you look through my posts mentioning music, you'll see that most of them are responses to you talking about music whereby if you had not made your posts, I wouldn't have made mine.
3. I control everything I do, and if you think you control me in any way, you're the biggest idiot this forum has ever seen. What you say is of no concern to me whatsoever, and frankly, I consider almost all your postings a joke.
Strange. An alert of a post from The Old School appeared at the top of my alert list, and when I clicked on it, I was brought to my own post (the one about list of my musical instruments - 104) Usually, anything at the top of the alert list is a new post that should be the latest one, but I see no new post from The Old School. Well, maybe it will show up later. Dang. (???)1. I didn't say it was what you said.I'll disregard your initial babbling as not much worthy of response, and proceed to the statement part. So you dislike Legend's statement about Selma being "now" also ? Just wondering.FALSE! I spent a lot of time rebuking what he said in that other thread before the closed me out of it, and I had plenty more to say about it. I only added the music component, so this thread wouldn't look like an exact duplicate of other. still, Legend's BS about Selma is still the primary focus of this, dspite the sidetracking in to music talk.
What happened in the other thread is not relevant. I do rremember you going on and on about your military experience and you wanting my phone number.
In this thread the overwhelming majority of the posts have been about music. Your own posts have been focused on music. Your disgust with Legend's comments as he won his Oscar have certainly been secondary. What is making you angry is that people are not letting you get by with your nonsense. You dislike Legend's statement? No problem. You want to claim he is not an artist or that his award is phony or that other musicians dislike him? Problem.

I never claimed to control you at all. Wouldn't waste my time.
But you obviously want to control the threads you start, since you have a hilarious habit of repeatedly threatening to complain to the mods if we don't post on the topic you want us to, whether it is the actual topic or not.
And no, I did not lead you astray on the topic. As I pointed out before, your OP was 188 words and 159 of them were about music. That you have continuously talked about music, whether it is denigrating Legend's music or bragging about your own skills, you have been discussing music far more than anything else.
And I don't attack something just because it's not to my taste. But I will attack it if I think it's bad music pretending to be good, and maybe even paying somebody off, to raise its image, among the less musically astute audience.I don't care who plays the piano, and many musicians I admire play it (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Chopin, etc)None of these clowns are playing any real music. And what instrument do they play ? The piano ? HA HA. Maybe they could be useful for insomniacs.Phony awards? So you think his award was phony just because of the statement he made when he accepted it? That is simply ridiculous.
Right, because playing the piano is certainly not what a musician would do, is it? LMAO!! You really are stretching for more and more heights of stupidity.
Remember the people you said were laughing or rolling over in their graves? Both McCartney and Lennon played piano. The overwhelming majority of song writers play piano. Some of the greatest musicians in the history of the world have played piano. And yet you try to make it sound as though that is somehow second rate.
Truly sad. You disagree with what the man said. But you repeatedly attack his art instead. The upside is that you make a bigger fool of yourself every time you do.
I have my taste in musical instruments and keyboards just doesn't rate too high in my preferences. Ad I do think the guitar, mandolin, and violin, all of which I play, are superior instruments to the piano, which is not able to do many of the things that these other instrument can do. One can play much more music on a guitar, for instance, than on a piano, and in my judgement, it sounds much better. for those people who like hearing a piano, go for it. It's like auto racing. i hate it, but if it somehow makes some people happy to watch it, more power to them.,
Wow. At least now you are acknowledging that other styles of music are simply not to your taste, instead of claiming they are not music.
I get that you like strings. But your knee-jerk reaction of attacking or ridiculing everything that is not to your taste is petty and childish.
