Rodgers and Hammerstein FTW 👍

It blows my mind how people younger than me can seemingly be from 1950's Alabama. I guess Rodgers & Hammerstein got it right.

My favourite was flicking through the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury this year and at the end of Chic's set they invited a bunch of the audience up on stage to dance and one guy clearly stopped to send a text and another was right behind Nile Rodgers the whole time recording it on an iPad.

If ever there was a time to live in the moment...

The Collaborators - Nile Rodgers

....Weelll, I feel like punching the shitty interviewerHe was quite polite about kicking the dead-horse but he did keep hammering the fucking issue ad-nauseum. I thought his interviewing skills on par with Fred Rodgers when he used to ask professionals in his "neighborhood" about their jobs...."Well Mr. Baker, how do we get all those tasty rolls from this sticky dough, into this happy little gravy-biscuit?"

This interviewer ranks well-below rank amateur. To rephrase, he's a fucking idiot in an ugly suit.

Oh Rodger, do have a good look at this ghastly feline

mmmyesh, indeed>> ^spoco2:

I'm just amused by the incredibly proper English accent "Oh dear god, oh my god... that's quite scary"
"Rodger! Rodger dear, there's a lion here that's being just beastly. I'm quite scared darling, would you ever so mind going and shooting it? Thanks snookums"

TBH, I didn't know that Bill Monroe credited blues music.
But it's equally clear that " blues , gospel , minstrel , and old-time string band music and Jimmie Rodgers"
were also influences for Bill Monroe.
Doesn't make bluegrass into gospel and minstrel and string band.
show me a article on blues that has bluegrass in it and i'll concede


I am not debating music history. Just saying it is in the right category. If you think over wise have it removed from that category. Simple as that.

The song was added to the Blues section, not cuase it has blues in the name. Cuase if you hold your mouse pointer over the Blues it says "Blues & Roots" this being Roots music.

Mister Rodgers is a badass.

lol, QM, if you really think those various media outlets are all the same, you really do have some sort of brain tumor.. comparing NPR and " Most "rebellious" musical acts and assorted "artists"" isn't really valid... you are a blatant troll, but congrats for all the attention you're getting. BTW, NPR is the most balanced news network around. My tax dollars pay for your right to free speech too jackhole, so shut up about friggin Sesame Street and Mr Rodgers.
