I like Waits. His career is proof that you can sober up and simultaneously become more creative, weirder, and more successful than you were in your wilderness years.

"Let’s look at the strange case of Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins and why one of them is only in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice."

"If Genesis had packed it in when Gabriel left in 1975, the band would never sniff the Hall of Fame.

Those first six Gabriel-fronted records were cult favourites – the kind critics swear changed their lives while the charts politely ignored them. The last three made the UK Top 20, sure, but none cracked the US Top 40. They were nominated for zero awards during Gabriel’s tenure."

Yep.

I love both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. I love old Genesis and new Genesis (okay, Calling All Stations is a dud).

But I will bow to no prog rock purist who despises Collins for. . .creating hits? Home by the Sea? Domino? Just as good as any Genesis song. . .and so is Abacab. Just as prog. Sure, Supper's Ready is the greatest but Three Sides Live remains a great live prog rock album (throw it on the turntable and turn up the volume if you doubt me).

Collins AND Gabriel both belong in the Hall of Fame.

Thanks to Michael for sending a great read.

While it took Gabriel a few albums to hit his stride, the new Collins era of Genesis surprised everyone with the exhilarating Trick of the Tail.I left their concert at Upper Darby’s Tower Theater a Phil Collins fan. The “other” Genesis drummer that night? Bill Bruford.

if the monkees weren’t real musicians then explain this

serpentinesheldonserpentine

Sigh.

The Monkees were decent musicians. Nes was better than decent and wrote some good songs.

However, the goal was to have new hit songs weekly, written to order by the best writers around and performed by top studio cats like Louie Shelton, Fast Eddie Ho, The Candy Store Prophets, etc. then release the records and reap the rewards.

It was never that the Monkees couldn’t write or play. It wasn’t what they were cast for.

Hey kid, gimme something like Paperback Writer, wouldya?

Sure Mr. Kirshner, how’s this?

By the way, none of us cared who wrote or played what back then.

The Monkees were the Beatles as played by the Marx Brothers.

This is your reminder today that Irene Adler in the original Conan Doyle story is literally not a criminal. She never commits a crime.

thehumantrampoline

Nor is she a seductress in any kind of negative or manipulative sense - she has a mutual relationship with a powerful man who then breaks up with her, and afterwards she keeps protection against him in the form of evidence that the relationship existed. She HAS blackmail material, she even waves it at him threateningly because he treated her like shit, but she never even uses it.

Irene Adler is not a thief, femme fatale, or blackmailer. She's just a cool lady that wants to be left alone.

thehumantrampoline

@delphi-star You do recall correctly!! She does not give a shit about that man! She's happily married! She tipped him for being a witness at her wedding!

If your Sherlock Holmes adaptation has a character whose identifying qualities are that she is a seductive criminal in love with Holmes, you have created a character that is basically the literal opposite of Irene Adler and you should name her something else.

tzikeh

She's also -- and I cannot stress this enough -- from New Jersey. IMO this is the single most important detail missing from all the adaptations -- IRENE ADLER IS FROM NEW JERSEY.

Please just once in my life I would like to see this adapted faithfully it would be the funniest fucking thing ever.

Flower Friday

PWS - Margaret

sweet-harmony

Thanks a lot Margaret and @photosworthseeing

serpentinesheldonserpentine

I selected photos of flowers for print catalogs in the early 90’s. Yeah, showing my age. And, I’ve attempted to photograph flowers for the past year.

One of the unacknowledged challenges of outdoor flower photography is capturing white flowers while retaining their details. The sun, normally your ally, can be a hindrance.

So when I see flower photography done so beautifully it’s appropriate to celebrate the achievement. Congratulations, friend.
