Howmanheyman 38583 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 How ironic that the cardinal doing the Pope's funeral looks like Ian Paisley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 24801 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Makes you think though. I've just put on the telly and the BBC is back to back coverage of the pope's funeral. See Trump is there. I can't help thinking a small tactical nuclear weapon detonated in the Vatican cleaning the slate of these abusive pious hypocrites wouldn't be the worst thing. Makes you think.

Dementia sufferers will often fall back on often used phrases from before they became ill If I ever get it, I hope that once I can’t recognise my family and friends I start greeting them with ” who’s this Cunt?” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 20086 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Brian Wilson being described as literally a genius by people with very good qualifications to be able to make that judgement..lots citing "God only knows" as the greatest song ever written....so it is just me then that doesn't really get Wilson or the Beach Boys? I hear good songs and nice harmonies but I also got that from the Brotherhood of Man RIP Brian, you had the same name as our coalman 🙂 Edited 13 hours ago by PaddockLad 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear good songs and nice harmonies but I also got the from the Brotherhood of Man Using “God Only Knows” as the example, I think it’s because 1- He did it first 2- Used/invented studio techniques to get multi-layered harmonies that were groundbreaking, at the time. 3- wasn’t his cunt cousin, Mike Love. Like a lot of music from that era, people have become, perhaps not blasé about it, but have heard it so much they’re used to it. Everthing that followed it using the same, or improved, techniques probably also now falls into that category, so the uniqueness of his talent has become dulled with time. I absolutely love some Beach Boys tracks, unbelievable sound and vibe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love some Beach Boys tracks, unbelievable sound and vibe. I seem to remember reading that Brian Wilson spent hours listening to Sgt Pepper because it had massively outsold Pet Sounds and he was trying to work out why. If I compare them (and SPLHCB is nowhere near my favourite Beatles album) I like Sgt Pepper a lot more; I like the sort of mixture of psychedelia & old time music hall it has. Pet Sounds figuratively and literally sounds like it comes from a different culture; I think I was an adult when I first listened to it but the Beatles were still fuckin everywhere through my childhood in spite of splitting up around the time I was born... BBs just leave me a bit cold... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 4474 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Comparing the BB and the Beatles is like comparing Andrea Bocelli and the sex pistols. 2 completely different music styles. I prefer the BB to the Beatles but that’s just personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
