Question for Stephen
Empath
anguish in today's country music indicates it's compromised
itself too much? Is the industry only interested in the
commercial advantage of appeal to the music buying youth?

~~~AllisonWonderland~~~:
HAY Empath, how are you this morning? You know what you are saying here
about anguish in country music isn't something that you should throw up
to SWAMI LOOIE. I mean, if you want to talk about cruel and unusual
punishment... his whole life is like a off key rendition done by a
ten-gallon hat wearing cross between TinyTim and PeeWeeHerman.
My mama didn't love me!
My dada beat me!
My brother was an only child!
My wife was knockin down on me behind my back!
She was doing it right in front of me!
I lost all my hair!
My pud has gone to silly putty!
Nobody likes me!
I'm going to go out and sit in the Dirt
and eat ~woRm~!
All the world loves a sad song!
Speaking of which, todays anguishless country music is quite a comedown
from the peak it reached some years ago when Ringo Starr (of all people)
came out with his country album called: "Boucoups of Blues".
The first song started out with the son of a politician (now isn't that
sad?) who got busted, and his father wouldn't go his bail, told him to
go to hell, so the kid hung himself in his cell.
The second verse was about a guy who came home to find his wife in bed
with another man, and so he shot them both and then committed suicide.
And then the song went "downhill from there"!
I remember the best line on the whole album... was while the band was
really cooking at the end of a song and Ringo shouted out: "...I got
this dog and he's real Meeeannnnnnnn!" (sniff)
Anyway, I still think that you are really heartless when you chide SWAMI
LOOIE about the anguish in country music. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! There's
got to be a song in there somewhere!
Heh heh heh heh.

saying, what does thinking have to do with anything? And what
does anguish have to do with creativity?

Oh, three new questions! At this moment, Stephen, the perfect answers
are just waiting to be typed. The answers that are sure to satisfy
even your critical intellectual and emotional centers are on the tip
of my tongue. The timing is perfect..... But, it's two hours before
the wife gets home, and I've already said we'll go out and eat. My
daily walk of four or five miles will take me about an hour and a
half. After I'm back, a few moments of rest, and a shower, should just
about put me at the right time. The right time that is, except that
the feelings will change. The answers will be different, the mood will
change. My answers, if there are any left, will be different. Maybe
"I" will get back to you later. I'm going for a walk.

Ummm... I don't know, Stephen. Free verse hasn't worked out too well
for country music. Perhaps you could try near rhyme. But, I'm not sure
if even the more sophisticated modern day country listeners will be
able to adjust to that. All in all, if you can rewrite it, get it to
rhyme, and put the music with it, maybe we could get Lee Ann Womack or
Alan Jackson to look at it. They both still dabble a bit in the sob
songs.
Don't get the idea its a perfect country and western song though. As
David Allan Coe said, You ain't said nothin' about Mama, or trains,
or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk. Well, I guess you did mention
beer.
Catchy words though.
You're Stupid
you said the feelings will change and so will your answer, and without a
center you go changing all day long. Then you have too many beers and
you are changing with inappropiate boundries and you are just showing
someboy else. It fact it's like friends will look at you and go, "Who
are you?" And it's all confusing because all the time you are a mask
and just failing at that too. Now you guys pretend you are tough. I am
tough. Don't you see the difference. You are playing at being tough,
and I am simply tough. You are pretending to be smart, and I am just
simply brilliant. You have to work at it, and I just am. I am a
refined product. You have to work at pretending to be Enlightened and
knowledgeable and Christ Consciousness, and I am simply Christ Conscious
which is super conscious.
You guys pretend and act the brilliant tough guy like james bond and I
am so much more that being like james bond would be an insult to me.
You are trying to win big money at the card table with 48 cards and I
have a full deck. I can't explain it any better.
Empath, do you ever consider that what I say is true, that the e-mails
Albert deleted were about me? That they just tried to frame me to get
rid of me because I am rocking the boat.
Don't worry, after I rock the boat so much that you all fall in I am
going to burn the boat so that you can't go back and then we are going
to learn to fly or die.

My words gave you the option of saying what you think, or what you
feel.
> And what does anguish have to do with creativity?
There is creativity that is of a personal nature, or as a service. It
requires only the skill. It could be building houses, or cabinets. No
emotional expression is required. Other creativity is art, and is
often done as a means of expressing emotion. Harmonics is the goal.
Anguish while not pleasant can be expressed through music and song. If
written well, and performed well, the harmonics are there, and a
"snapshot" appears, so to speak, of the writer's or performer's
feelings.
The written word, stories, poems, even a usenet posting can generate
harmonics due to the creative talent of the writers. You yourself have
attempted frequently to express through the creative nature of your
postings the anguish of dealings with your past acquaintances. You
attempt to set up a sympathetic vibration of emotion. Though my own
personal experience with reading your writings doesn't include a
sympathetic vibration with the emotions you attempt to convey, that
doesn't mean that no one else feels it. There are some writers with
experiences that may be less acute than yours that could write with a
certain creativeness that could trigger harmonics within me. It's a
matter of taste perhaps; like the old saying "I may not know much
about art, but I know what I like."

*****SPV....What about pride in their work. If the cabinets are not built
with loving appreciation, then what have you got? A bunch of shit. You
think people that work in trades do not take pride and appreciation and
loving care in their work? What a fuckhead you are.
Why do they pretend to know? And this goes on and on. I mean this
Dogshit guy will say stupid thing and after stupid thing. Just absolutely
worthless. And you would think after I slap them 100 times in a row they
would go, "Maybe I don't know!"

You're right, Stephen. Conscientiousness in one's work should have
been included. "Maybe I don't know". Pride in one's work? Hmmmm. who
would of thunked it? Boy this Stephen guy is good to have around.

Oh Rats! Allison, I've attempted twice to respond to this; a long
irrelevant essay on country music and the recording industry. Both
times, just following completion, the computer hung up and destroyed
it. It's a bit off topic anyway, but perhaps the subject will come up
again.

I know what you mean! I've had that happen. Really do a cookin' response
tell it to send and then try to look at it in the "OUTBOX" and find that
it's nothing but a header!... I have taken to "SAVING AS" any long post.
But there is also something that happens when my computer messes up, it
will put a copy of what was on the screen at the time of the mess-up in
the <TEMP> directory! And if that fortunately happens, it is just a "cut
and paste" away from restoration.
You mentioned my essay being long... but I looked and that's about as
brief an essay as I am capable of writing. Still the relevance part was
succinct. Remember, an irrelvant never forgets!

~~~AW~~~:
Well, if at first you don't succeed... try, try again.
Anyway, hope you are well.

Actually, the mention of a long essay was in reference to the one I'd
attempted; just for clarification.

So I go back and look at what you wrote and see what you mean! Oops! My
bad! :) Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
Hope you are well.
