Just very nosy and curious.

About music, we played, and our parents hate, the music we like and our kids not, I can continue.
It is just a topic:
- How we can live with it, or solve it.
- Can it be compared to food, you hate to eat when still a little kid: learn to eat, but here can we learn other people (parents & children) to appreciate the music we like.

As far as I know, those guys left, or were only for a short period in these groups. BUT I PROMESS to find, even if it takes me a month to find what (once real big names do) these days.
Take for instance the "SAD" case of PAUL GADD aka GARY GLITTER: unbelievable.
If other CHORDIANS can or will help me on this: popstars versus justice.
Like Keith Richards, arrested for a smuggling lot of drugs into Canada, Paul McCartney with his Marihuana in JAPAN: they just had to give a few BENEFIT concerts (meaning KEITH).
But I think this is better to follow in a new special topic.
WHO STARTS, you have already 2 famous names, and I didn't mention W.JACKO

this is my speciality, I am at home the whole day, and it is AMAZING, what you can read, if it's gossip, I check it out, before posting it.
But all those facts are 100% right (at least 99%), and sometimes reading these facts, you learn to understand better the musician.
With "my speciality" I don't mean that I have a monopoly here.
I would really love similar topics. You write the topic, you can use facts 233,or whatever.
These are more serious, but I am working, it really takes a lot of time on other facts

- Paul McCartney had 3 cats in the hysterical Beatles period: Jesus Mary and Joseph
- Working Title for Yesterday (a lot of people will know this) was SCRAMBLED EGGS
- John Lennon: without glasses, he should have been LEGALLY blind
- THE MISUNDERSTANDING: the first American TV special about and with the Beatles was THE JACK PAAR show, and NOT the ED SULLIVAN show.
- The Band's first album, PLEASE PLEASE ME, was recorded in 1 (ONE) day, and is still standing solid as a rock, compare this with musicians, working to record an album in 2 years.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I am convinced, if you are prepared, meaning, played already a time together, that it is STILL possible to do this. Sometimes 50 takes for 1 bloody song, and at the end they chose the first song.

I started in fact to play note by note, and with the same speed, the fantastic song: I'M GOING HOME, by Ten Years After, followed by 50 ways to leave your lover and Bohemian Rhapsody.
I think I'm in the wrong corner here.
Better should be: well a similar topic

I forgot some details.
- the scratching noise of the teacher writing down something with a piece of chalk on the board in front of the class, creeping, horrible sounding noise.
- HAGGIS, sorry upyerkilt.
- people smelling like a bottle of 90° alcohol, and certainly when they try to hide with a CHEWING-GUM.

CRUEL QUESTION: is it you PARANORMAL?

It's already old news, but CAT STEVENS, now called YUSSUF ISLAM, couldn't enter the States, months ago, because of a wrong interpretation.
This event did me think about people having a name, and taking a plane.
We all know OSAMA BIN LADEN.
Forget the BIN LADEN, the word we have is OSAMA.
I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if there isn't 1 single Japanese with that name.
GOOD MOLNING OSAMA SAN

So in fact you can add a guy like James Blunt into Christian?
I am a Christian too, but I am a little bit sceptic towards that word, because (that's just me") am afraid that this word is (ab)used to reach more people

Dear James

IT's 100% true, but smart?
But as far as I remember (almost 30 years ago) they didn't talk about suicide, more like, he couldn't reach the lamp, put a chair in his bath, it was the only way to replace that lamp, felt of that chair, the bath was "moisty", and in a reflex he tried to take the device for his lamp.
Anyhow: "He did it his way"
BUT check his name: on wikipedia, the FRANCOIS/ANKA story

1) Some Women, too much been a womaniser.
2) Youngsters, driving in a VW, with baseball heads and a LOT of techno/house
3) People passing by, while I am just in my seat, relaxed, without been called

Well, well LED ZEPPELIN.
I have the fantastic DVD produced by PAGE, and you can see it: 20 minutes Led Zeppelin= 10 minutes PAGE, 5 minutes PLANT, and the other 5 minutes JOHN BONZO BONHAM, and JONES.
In my eyes, if it wasn't for JP JONES, the multi instrumental genius, I don't know if they would have reached the same level. SEE PAGE & PLANT. But WOW!! what magic sparkles they produced.
I go for
- 1/ Led Zeppelin 4
- 2/ Led Zeppelin 3
- 3/ Led Zeppelin 2
of course all the rest too, but that's my list.

An attack on JAMES, a question of course.
DO YOU KNOW who wrote the song "MY WAY"???
I know it belongs now to the US patrimonial history, because the biggest american artists covered it.
It is written, both music and lyrics, by a "French Singer & composer" named CLAUDE FRANCOIS.
The TITLE WAS and still IS: COMME D'HABITUDE (an English traduction should be LIKE ALWAYS.
During a holiday in France, Paul Anka was so impressed by this song, that he started writing English Lyrics, for this song. They met each other, Claude knew Paul, because his career started later (song : 1966?) and one of his heroes was PAUL ANKA. That song travelled to the USA, isn't it clever that Paul Anka wrote English Lyrics? so he had also a big piece of the cake. Once in the USA, every single crooner would have that song on his list, amongst them: Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and yes,even the SID VICIOUS version.
Claude François died at the age of 39 (+ 1978) while replacing a lamp in his bathroom, but still in the water: real idiot to die that way, you could say he did it "my way", of course sad enough inspiring all comedians and jokes. The funeral was quit close and similar as RUDOLPH Valentino, impossible to count the people, and I remember me still all that hysteric behaviour.
I think, if he had written only this song, he would have so much money being the author.

As you all could read already, the word R&B, is in "my eyes" a wrong expression, used by musicians or singers like BEYONCE.............

- New for me is: CHRISTIAN MUSIC & INDIE music: I swear, before chordie, I never heard those words.
What kind of music is covered by Christian Music: is it a kind of new gospel, is it pop music played in a Church. What is the style ? I don't think, or am I wrong that HARD ROCK and Metal are in this music.
The same thing about Indie music: is it rock, pop, metal, rap?

I really like an answer, I can write a book about music, but I am absolutely not familiar with these expressions.
