(to the ‘meatheads’, ‘classical music’ means busy violins playing the same 12 notes in ornate patterns that they can’t follow)
(they’re thinking any second sinatra’ll come sonically sauntering in singing about some lady of the nighttime)
(at least the rednecks took on ‘european classical music’ and made it their own)
(‘charles daniels’ is a satire of the ‘19th century classical ‘virtuoso’ paradigm’)
(any seemingly braindead backwoods flurry he plays on his fiddle is as equally ‘artistically valid’ as anything that ‘paganini’ is ever alleged to have played)
(the ‘electric guitar’ is an improvement over the violin in terms of ‘expressive range’)
(anyone who takes up a stringed instrument besides the electric guitar in this day and age is already an ‘anachronism’)
(all other ‘organic’ instruments are to be dabbled in and digitally sampled)
(it’ll be (guitars / computers / vocal cords / microphones) from here on out…)
(to soulless holier-than thous, classical music means being able to identify the tonal ramblings of dead white men. and using this skill to boost one’s ego)
(‘indie rock’ is the healthiest thing to happen to ‘pop music’ since ‘the beatles’)
(i suppose we have REM to thank for that)
(or is it ‘guided by voices’?)
(in any case, i wonder whether ‘michael stipe’ + ‘robert pollard’ have ever gotten stoned together)
(i like to think that they have…)
(i even heard that ‘stipe’ once made a half-hearted homosexual ‘pass’ in cobain’s general direction)
(9 months later…)
.
.
‘rap’
(just thugs repeating some variation of ‘ride wit me’ and then occasionally sentimentalizing their ‘simpleton ways’)
(…though i suppose it’s no different from mike love and the early beach boys narratives…)
(‘cept can’t quite fathom ‘beach boys’ would ever release any ‘stop snitching’ songs and encourage ‘cop killing’)
(at least not until they grew their beards out…)
