Thread Name: Singer-Songwriters: A Defence.
Subject: RE: Singer-Songwriters: A Defence.
I hope I did't start something with my remark about saving the world, Tho I must admit that at I changed my mind about some newly written music Last nite at our song circle there were some beautifully newly written songs, and some oldies that were murdered. Being an old folkie perhaps I yearn for the old days [old age creaping up on me] Going back to the Hoot days we would sing one one song and go on to the next person. [Our group still does] But as people were being discovered, making records and money Singers started to sing "sets" of songs and looking at the audiance to see if there was an agent out there who would discover them. Are we singing for fun, or trying to make big bucks out of it [Will someone comment on this] As to the remark "You mean that Paul was in a band before Wings" I actually heard someone say that" Some how I do object someone out of diapers telling me how to think particulary if he has never held a job and daddy is paying his way through college. everything that the U.S. does is wrong and every revolutionary is their hero. It is almost as bad as a 80 yr. old member of the CP still waiting for the workers to rise up. I think if I hear an song along this line I will put my finger down my throat in the Middle of it. Oh well enough from an official member of the Piss and Moan and bitch about everything Club. Great thread tho good stuff comming out, keep it up.
