As a greater man than you or I once said "I may disagree with his opinion but I will fight to the death for his right to say it"
There are many whose passing dims my world,some more than others.
But to suggest to me that i should mourn the passing of someone whos "talent" never touched me is bizarre.
I mourn the passing of John Steinbeck I couldn't give a fuck about Barbara Cartland.
It's also possible that you haven't seen the video to the Wu Tang Clans song 'Gravel Pit' - some sexeeeeeeeeeeeee wimmin in that one!!!!
I wasn’t a fan of ODB and I’m not a fan of hip hop or rap but hey , live and let live . Some like it , some loathe it and that’s the way it is . I know people that think John Lennon was a God and others who think he’s an overrated twat (not my my opinion .by the way) . I have friends who are Jazz fans and others who consider it nothing more that musical wanking at it’s most pretentious ..but hey that’s their view .Personally I can’t stand the manufactured/X factor/Pop Idol type music that tops the charts today but there’s a few million who’d disagree with me … Music’s like art ,it means different things to different people …love it or loathe it but don’t ever dismiss it …
Some us remember when the Sex Pistols were shocking the nation with their outrageous behaviour and ‘vile’ songs .. who’d have thought 27 years later you’d be hearing Pretty Vacant playing over a supermarket PA , or Johnny Rotten presenting a Wildlife documentary on Prime time TV …
We’ve all different opinions , likes, dislikes ..and thank god we do .. how boring life would be if we didn’t
Its crap in your opinion... and age does have a lot to do with it.
Robbie, no age has very little to do with taste in music, certainly in my case. I'll listen to Classical, Prog rock, Ukrainian folk, grunge, jazz, techno, Rock n roll, country, etc. etc. so my not liking ODB is not an age thing. I would say it is due to a lack of musical quality, simple as that. I like art but I think the Turner prize normally highlights a load of old bollocks.
