I view Apple as one of the bad guys, but they are pandering to the BMW crowd.

As kids we called 'em Beemer fags. @verita84 @a_rival_to_amazon @balan @Jazzy_Butts @wjmaggos @BoredStupid @Hasheagle @basileion @lccmv @zonz @neet @sim @sj_zero @Hollahollara

The new Beemers look like plastic toys. They are not offensively bad, but do not appear to be worth the money. 1980s German steel had more appeal, but even Mercedes is mostly plastic now.

Around here, it seems that White and whitish people have abandoned the Mercedes and BMWs, since they are popular with the hip-hop crowd.

Looking back over 1990s music, it seems like it took more risks.

1980s music had a different feel, more like it was the peak of a wave.

1990s music was after the wave crashed, looking for direction.

2k+ music feels like becalmed waters where you just toss in everything and hope for the best.

It's spreadsheet music. Whatever sold well for the past 60 years gets tossed in there.

Basically disco with hip-hop, AOR, alternative, gospel, and jazz fusion mixed in.

I'm sure someone will do it good again, or we all missed some underground artist that quit making music years ago

I wish people would revisit Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus more. That was the peak of American Black culture.

I think Jackson was absurdly talented and unfairly railroaded.

However, I'm revisiting the jazz station and Mingus is the shiz.

I have always enjoyed Coleman. He's like Django Reinhart or Anders Segovia but on the tenor sax.
