The saddest thing is while JimmyCooper here is obviously finding the best in what is out there (Katie Perry, Kenye, etc) he also knows the older stuff or is open to it. This makes him in the top 5% out there so congrats to you JC!!  What breaks MY heart is many today don't even know what they are missing. They don't know they aren't missing out on something, something important that helped shape a culture, influence soceity in a positive way and, yes, changed the world. Fortunately the music will never die and is still out there for people like JimmyCooper to find and appreciate.
The John Lennon Wall in Prague.
I was reminded when I was in Prague recently how it can be argued that The Beatles defeated Communism. Their music was banned but somehow people kept listening to it, smuggling in records, pirate radio, etc. Once the music was inside the people's heads the change followed, the people could not be stopped. Maybe this will happen again in some wonderful future I am praying for. LOL |
I think it was actually Far-L who admitted going to a Katy Perry concert.
That being said, and seeing as how he had the balls to admit that he went to a Katy Perry concert, I'll go ahead and admit that I too have seen her live. It was at the Victoria's Secret fashion show 4-5 years ago and I was surprisingly impressed with her performance. My opinion on it may be a bit skewed, though, because tickets were free, there were smoking hot girls all over the place (both on and off the catwalk), and I dropped a tab of ecstasy before heading into the Armory (cool venue, btw).
The Beatles may have sown the seed, but I think Metallica may have also had a hand in ending Communism. Check out the crazy energy in the crowd.
...and, of course, no discussion about how music helped end Communism would be complete without mention of the most popular man in Germany for many, many years....the one and the only David Hasselhoff. And If you look closely, you can see a young MaDalton dancing in the crowd.
