Beastly Noise

[kevishev]

I think the younger members of the AM community need to grow up a little bit. Or maybe alot in this case.

As an old timer that will freely admit that I'm skeptical when it comes to the Beastie Boys (and I am certainly not alone on that), I went ahead and gave the BB tune the benefit of the doubt and requested it so I could judge the song's merrits for myself. In my opinion, the tune is nothing to get excited about to say the least. I said so here as well as in the shoutbox when it played. There was nothing said by me or anyone else I know of like "Oh no, the Moon is going down the tubes because they're playing the Beastie Boys." Where the hell did that come from?

To have it implied that Jim's judgement isn't trusted or somehow we're ungrateful for the privelige of listening because we're suprised by an artist's addition certainly eclipses a nose of brown and takes on more of the characteristics of a full cranial insertion into the rectal cavity.

I was paraphrasing, not quoting. I don't remember who it was, but someone in the shout box gave an "Oh great, we have Beastie Boys now. What's next.... blah blah blah." And then there's this:

So what's next? Primus?

Aw jeez, I probably shouldn't have asked that...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that post sounded a little "what's next?" to me. So what if Primus is next? We "younger members" would probably be okay with that. Maybe it's my youth, but I'm like, mellow out and stuff, like, ok?

Jim, I'm officially requesting to see all of The Mix Up and The In Sound from Way Out on AM. 'Cause I'm young and hip like that, I s'pose.

I'm going to recuse myself from further discussion here, and just float on the memory of a great Return to Forever show tonight.

After looking at this thread, and observing some of the commentary from this afternoon in shout, I'm not interested anymore in going back and forth about what anyone likes and what is prog.

Anyone who wants to private message me with any suggestions etc. for airplay is welcome. But I'm not wasting my time reading any more shouts about how you don't like something. It's negative, inefficient, and just not worth it.

I've not heard the Beastie Boys song, but I'm not going to categorically dismiss it out of hand, nor am I going to come into it with a preconceived notion.

It's one song. What a freaking waste of time.
