If you grew up on hip-hop and Eminem do us all a favour and kill yourself.
Otherwise rejoice in the lyrics of this timeless classic:
=====================================
Well East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmers' daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
Chorus:
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tan
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a Palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kind of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

Saw the BB and Chicago 1974. Angels Stadium (Now Edison field)
Excellent.

I remember seeing the BB's at Franklin Field in Philadelphia after a University of Pittsburgh vs. Temple University football game. I had a great time and Temple won :D

Pet Sounds is one of the top 2 or 3 albums ever recorded.
-
those guys grew up in the same neighborhood I did. I had moved by the time they started their band tho but... I can see where they get their ideas. Now it's an all black area tho.
Who could not like the BB?

I graduated high school in 1988...there was one guy I was in ROTC with, I'd catch a ride home with him once or twice a week. All he ever listened to was Beach Boys and other oldies tunes...drove a really nice Mustang too. He honestly looked like something from "My 3 Sons"...buzz cut and all. Perhaps he was shot ahead into the future. Or got tired of that damn grumpy Uncle Charlie :rofl

The beach boys are great. Pet Sounds better than Revolver by a mile. Not much surf these parts tho, lol.

fogold... do like my grandfather did and leave that "cold misserable rock" and maybe your grandkids will know what a duece coupe is.

There's surfing in the UK, believe it or not. Just remember to pack your wetsuit. I hear Ireland gets its share of swells.

I think its "leg pipes" - the exhaust pipes that run outside and below the door.
And one more thing, I've got the pink slip, daddy!
-
Sorry, it's Lake Pipes . A type of open exhaust used in the early days of racing 'Hot Rods' on dry lakes.
-
Newquay (SW England) has good surf - international competitions and all. Atlantic Ocean rollers. Did alot of surfing down there as a kid; on a good day you don't need a wetsuit.

shreck the wet suit, thats a pure dry suit all the way, surfed there twice in 92....
Never again!
-
Soft lad. :) I was body boarding at 11 years old in swimming trunks - while it rained on me. Although, if you wanted to stay long in there you needed a wetsuit.

hmmm.... on the one hand you have a tiny little beach with no sun and translucently white buck toothed guys who just left their mini's and morris's parked on the wrong side of the road...
and on the other.... long sun drenched beaches of southern California filled with white teethed bronzed kids who just parked their duece coupes and 409 convertables....

Plain or Peanut?
I kind of like the Almond ones, although I can leave the peanut butter ones... Reeses pieces are better. The Krispie ones suck.

Yep, just steer clear of the sharks. They have Great Whites off that coast. Attacks have been known to take place as close as 50 yards from the shore, and in 5 feet of water. I read the warning signs at Stinson Beach about 30m N of SF. OK, that's not SoCal, but it's not that far and it's the same coastline.

On a hot summers day, Crantock near Newquay is amazing. Spent many holidays there as a kid.

why do they have their clothes on at the beach? :)
funny to watch them pile into the North Sea on a record 72F day back in '71 (Tynemouth) when the water was in the 50's. This southern Yankee was standing there with a sweater on shielding my eyes from the glare off the pasty almost translucent bodies :)
-
That's because you were in the North-East - Newquay is in the South-West - makes all the difference. :)
I was at uni in the North-East - the beaches are good for one thing, walking on when fully clothed, apart from maybe two days in the year. Ever see Get Carter, with Michael Caine? The end scene on the beach was filmed at Seaham in the NE - not many sunbathers to be seen. ;)
-
LOL m&m.... figures sandy would pretend to like him...
m&m... everything bad about what's going on in music... skinny, wimpy little white kid imitating the worse thing to come out of black music ever.. makes you wanna smack him around a little just to see him break out in tears. Seen him in court... what a wimp.
anyone who pretends to like rap will someday suffer the same flashbacks as the guys who sang the praises of leisure suits back when.

He sees more bellybutton than a toilet seat though and has a bit of cash in the bank, which must be terrible.
I'd say Rap has some merits; you could consider some of it as street poetry. Unfortunately, alot of it is bull**** about ho's, 9mms and pimping. I find it particularly hilarious when I'm in a club and you get the middle class white people taking it all so seriously. Set of bananas. Fortunately, hip-hop/RnB hasn't completely assimilated the clubs (yet), and I'll go find me some honest house or trance.
BTW, Jah-rule and Sean Paul must die. Sick to the back teeth of hearing them.
-
dowding... getting laid and having money doesn't make him any less of what I have described. I think we agree tho on the whole rap scene... "street poetry" LOL... like that's an excuse for that trash!
nothing sillier than white kids pandering to that crap. Well... there are things sillier but they are along the same lines. I am not surprised that rap "artists" are gleefully fleecing their own people tho... if rap never existed they would be pimps or drug dealers. That's your "street poetry"...
The only time they give back is if they hire another black for a driver or maid.

No, eminem is a dick, but why not exploit a current trend if you're in a position to do it? Sing a few crap songs for a few years, make the cash, shag the women, live the life, retire at 30 and live like a king for 60 years. Sounds like smart business sense to me.
The stuff in the charts is about pimps and ho's and shagging women - but every genre has its dire trash. Doesn't mean its all crap - some of the more obscure stuff I've (over)heard is bearable. Wouldn't imagine buying it or putting it in my CD changer. Miss Dynamite sings and raps in opposition to usual crap; criticizes the gun culture, the pimping crap and even mentions promiscuity and AIDS in one song. You have to admit that makes a refreshing change.
Your point about selfish popstars is moot; the selfish part is redundant. How many stars are selfless saints?
-
maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't think I could stand myself if I pandered like that to be rich.
as for the 'street poetry" crap... there are streets in the KKK and AB parts of town too.... does that make their speechs "street poetry"? certainly they are less bigoted and less violent than their rap counterparts.. the message of hate is about equal tho.. can't understand why one is ok and the other isn't.
don't know who that woman is you speak of but... rap is crap.. not just the content but... even to this tone deaf old fart... talentless... same ol same ol no imagination.
I would enjoy smacking that little twerp around a little just to make him cry tho.... call me a barbarian.

You assume that all rap preaches hate or is rascist anti-white BS, like the KKK or Lanser (that's that white supremecist ****e isn't it?). That Miss Dynamite girl is nothing like that - in fact the opposite. A fair few other acts talk about racial tolerance too and make a point of doing so. But like I said before, rap isn't my cup of tea - but neither is ballet but I can appreciate its artistic qualities.
The opportunity to check out the 'rock star' lifestyle would be interesting at least. Call it making an informed opinion. It would allow me to buy all the cars I wanted at least.
As for getting at eminem, you'd have to get past myriad bruisers. He can afford to talk so tough when he has that kind of hired help.

You do realize that the roots of so called "classic" rock and roll can be found in black music?
Real bigots don't listen to Aerosmith. :p
-
I grew up in the fifties and sixties so I realize it more than you do I bet. I am talking about rap. Nothing good will come out of it. Lot's of good music used to come out of the black community... not so much anymore that I can see.
-
Downding... most of it is racist crap. It isn't even that tho.. it is the tired and annoying beat of the "music" I don't care what that woman thinks... not important to me... I certainly don't care enough to have to listen to a rap beat to hear her message.
oh... and sandie... I am not gay so I don't listen to aerosmith.

they can't sing or carry a tune .. what do you expect. parents hate it, so it sells...

That's a fairly myopic view... apparently "good" music must appeal to Lazs2. Otherwise, it's bad.
That's okay... there's a lot of music that doesn't appeal to me either, including the majority of what you would call rap and hip hop... I don't appreciate the majority of what Eminem has to say. Artists (and I use the term loosely) that are deliberately controversial tend to wear thin. But... the one thing I do like about Eminem is that fact that the music he uses behind the lyric is original. No sampling or outright reuse of older popular songs. You want to talk talentless rap star living on the fruits of others... let's talk about Sean PuffDaddyPeeDiddy Combs.
You can be certain that rap music will probably never go away. That particular style of singing (again, I use the term loosely) has infected too many different genres of music.
It's not all bad... I can't seem to keep from catching Matchbox Twenty on the television... They're latest album pretty much proves that they are wayyyy better than all of the bands that have been copying them for the past five years. They've got a live performance of "Bright Lights" that is nothing short of breathtaking. ... and good news! They don't do rap.
I really don't understand the typical complaint about there being no new good music. Our generation(s) had our day. We have our music. The kids are making their own right now. There are things that my children like to listen to that I just can't agree with, but thankfully, there is some common ground where we can find music that we both enjoy. So yes, I've learned to appreciate some of Eminem, some of Linkin Park, some of Limp Bizkit. But, at the same time, my children have learned to appreciate bands like Yes, and Pink Floyd.
-
sandie... I have no idea what you are saying. you are the one who said I didn't know about the roots of black music. I do and I apreciate it. I apreciated it back then too. Elvis appreciated it... it was no big secret... before that, white people appreciated jazz... no big secret.
now we are talking about rap... it is a waste of sound. If it is poetry then fine... it is crappy worthless poetry. I think that you are stuck in the knee jerk liberal trap of having to justify something that you know is crap because you are afraid of being at odds with your liberal friends or.... horror of horrors.... maybe even prejudiced or ..... not hip!
we had our day... bach had his day... so what? if it's good it will endure. rap is the leisure suit and afro haircut of the new millenium.

Hey, no need to dis leisure suits. They were just ahead of their time. ;)

I'm afraid that I have to agree with Lasz... I think rap is utter bollocks. It's mostly doggrel rhyme. Anyone can do it...it's not big and it's not clever...it seems, to me (and please tell me if I'm missing something here) that it revolves around (mainly) black people trying to be (mainly) really 'hard'.
A pity, because previous generations of black music, like jazz and motown needed some serious work put into them to produce a result. That was real music because it actually had a melody and a counterpoint.
Rap bands (again to me) seem to make a lot more about marketing their images than the music they actually make.
There is no doubt at all that black people are the most musically gifted people on the planet and we have borrowed a lot from them. But rap? it's retrograde to my mind and a very easy way for people to churn out junk without putting much effort into it (just my humble point of view)
