How do you know there is no Affirmative Action in movies or in winning Oscars ? I think a lot of people would take exception to that, and I think some of them already have right here in this thread (Ex. Posts # 2, 6)And I don't attack something just because it's not to my taste. But I will attack it if I think it's bad music pretending to be good, and maybe even paying somebody off, to raise its image, among the less musically astute audience.I don't care who plays the piano, and many musicians I admire play it (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Chopin, etc)None of these clowns are playing any real music. And what instrument do they play ? The piano ? HA HA. Maybe they could be useful for insomniacs.
Right, because playing the piano is certainly not what a musician would do, is it? LMAO!! You really are stretching for more and more heights of stupidity.
Remember the people you said were laughing or rolling over in their graves? Both McCartney and Lennon played piano. The overwhelming majority of song writers play piano. Some of the greatest musicians in the history of the world have played piano. And yet you try to make it sound as though that is somehow second rate.
Truly sad. You disagree with what the man said. But you repeatedly attack his art instead. The upside is that you make a bigger fool of yourself every time you do.
I have my taste in musical instruments and keyboards just doesn't rate too high in my preferences. Ad I do think the guitar, mandolin, and violin, all of which I play, are superior instruments to the piano, which is not able to do many of the things that these other instrument can do. One can play much more music on a guitar, for instance, than on a piano, and in my judgement, it sounds much better. for those people who like hearing a piano, go for it. It's like auto racing. i hate it, but if it somehow makes some people happy to watch it, more power to them.,
Wow. At least now you are acknowledging that other styles of music are simply not to your taste, instead of claiming they are not music.
I get that you like strings. But your knee-jerk reaction of attacking or ridiculing everything that is not to your taste is petty and childish.
In the OP you said: "They know full well that without their Affirmative Action Black privilege, they're just another been nowhere, done nothing, know nothing idiot, and being a rapper is all the more proof. What a disgrace. And how anyone with the kind of trash that he produces can call it "music" ,,and go accept an award for it is beyond incredible."
First off, there is no Affirmative Action in movies, and certainly not in winning an Oscar.
Second of all, you claim to be so musically astute, and yet you call John Legend a rapper. That itself shows your lack of knowledge on the topic.
Then you claim what he creates is "trash" and think it should not be called "music", and that he shouldn't have accepted the award.
But no, you don't attack something just because it is not to your taste.
And if I have a lack of knowledge of Black music, that is a favorable point in my musical appreciation level.
