I Have a New Calling

[Leroy Lizard]

Screw the teaching! Screw the publishing! I want to DJ!

If you think the horseface avatar you are sporting makes good music, then you shouldnt make music

[Leroy Lizard]

Nina Hagen is awesome, one of the pioneers of punk. WTF are you talking about?

Let me guess: You're a Paul Simon fan?

[sooner59]

DJ Leroy Lizzy? Hmm...

[Leroy Lizard]

DJ Leroy Lizzy? Hmm...

Those names are out of style now. I'm thinking of something that hearkens back to my math teaching -- Group Theory. Pretty cool, heh? (I'll get a lot of chicks with a cool name like Group Theory.)

BJ Limptard ?

Nope

[soonerscuba]

If you don't like Paul Simon, you can go **** yourself.

[JohnnyMack]

Nina Hagen is a piece of crap.

[THE-JROD]

Limp dick....

She'll never be able to knock your ABBA collection off the shelf, if that's what you mean.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Limp dick....

You probably hear that a lot.

[Leroy Lizard]

Great. The village idiot just showed up.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Great. The village idiot just showed up.

That's impossible. You've been here most of the night.

[Leroy Lizard]

That's impossible. You've been here most of the night.

Okay, dude. Whatever.

A good portion of us have seen the bands that most of the punks stole their music from. Again just more proof (like we needed anymore) that you are just someone who thinks being odd is what makes the World really cool. What makes the World cool is knowing when one fad ends and another starts.

ABBA sucks.

How about some examples of what you are talking about. For example, one of my favorite bands is The Ramones. Love 'em. Who did they steal their music from that, in turn, didn't steal their music from someone else?

Who stole from whom is pointless. Did Led Zeppelin lift some of their material from some aging, talentless blues guitarists? Sure. Who cares? (Sure, the blues guitarists care, but that's their problem. And they probably lifted it from someone else.)

There are very few originators in music. Most of the stuff you probably listen to is highly derivative, especially if you are into that "My Baby Left Me" blues crap. (shudder) Yeah, uncreative music will be around forever, just like Wal-Mart will probably be around forever. There will always be a market for vanilla.
