Subject: To much many music threads ! From: annamill Date: 14 Apr 00 - 12:58 PM I want to complain about the number of music threads versus BS thread! I remember old days when I would come in here and could find some pretty interesting BS threads. Where are they? Boy, things just arn't like they used to be!! Seriously, suspicious, isn't it? Love, annapwithtoungincheek |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Amos Date: 14 Apr 00 - 01:17 PM This site was founded by BS, and has been built on BS for years. There are dozens of invisible BS artists out there who have been driven into hiding by all this emphasis on music. They are in the process of electing a spokespeople to come in and spread large nasty HTML messages through the music threads in order to restore rationality and harmony to the beloved Mudcat. Then we can get things back to how they used to be. I love the past so much! Its somuch nicer than the present. |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Peter T. Date: 14 Apr 00 - 01:28 PM B.S. Subjects I am grateful we have avoided so far: 1) Elian 2) Tony Blair: should he take time off for the baby? 3) Who should replace Kathy Lee Gifford? 4) When is a white person going to win the Masters again (we boys knew it was a mistake....)? 5) The Abba musical. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Hyperabid Date: 14 Apr 00 - 01:32 PM Mamma Mia! He said as he sipped "Elian" water whilst changing a nappy. I think I've found a white pro golfer in who wants to change professions after she wins the masters. *grin* Hyp |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: GUEST,Art Thieme Date: 14 Apr 00 - 03:04 PM I cannot figure out if this is a serious thread or not ! ? All that's here are B.S. threads whether or not they say B.S. in front or not. For the last few weeks I've wondered where the threads about folksongs (trad) and lore from the U.S.A. went to. I've only say this after seeing how few queries there have been here for stuff I want to respond to. Well, whatever. I guess it's just a part of the big cycle. Art |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: paddymac Date: 14 Apr 00 - 03:22 PM Now I wouldn't say it myself, but I have heard the opinion expressed by some among the ill-informed masses that folk music is mostly BS anyway. The phoakie-literati, on the other hand, know full well that what some perceive as BS is really just the well-turned (excuse me: 'tuned') phrase bearing a clever metaphore, semaphore, simile, analogy, etc. (all them other figger of speech thingies). I mean, like, really, did Dylan ever write anything really, like, cosmic, or, well, like, whatever. I mean, ya know?. I mean, like, nothing as heavy as Elvis, fer sure. I mean, like, hell, he aint heavy, dude, he's my bro, ya know? *BG* |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: MMario Date: 14 Apr 00 - 04:15 PM Art, are you sure your browser is working correctly. As of a few minutes ago, in the last 24 hours there have been about 105 threads. of those, 4 started with song postings. 42 are requests for lyrics or tunes 34 are definately music related threads 1 FAQ 1 Thought for the Day 1 policy statement 1 html practice thread This is "ALL BS"? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: annamill Date: 14 Apr 00 - 04:45 PM mmario, I kinda understand what Art is saying, I think. A lot of the Lyr Req's are BS and a lot of the supposedly music related threads are not folk or blues related. Someone is makin fun! I think! Love, annap |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: GUEST,Alan Date: 14 Apr 00 - 05:03 PM I was about to ask the same question - I thought it was Bull Sh*t. Alan |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: MMario Date: 14 Apr 00 - 05:05 PM Not necessarily....tho' that is what many people use it for, and many prefer to think of it. My personal thinking is it is best thought of as "Beyond Subject (of forum)" |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Kara Date: 14 Apr 00 - 05:11 PM But really? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Jon Freeman Date: 14 Apr 00 - 05:16 PM Well, I think you will find Bull Shit is the most commonly accepted meaning. Being serious, I don't particularly like the BS prefix because of this. I think that it useful to be able to separate the non music related topics but IMO, a lot of what crops up in them is far from that definition. Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: GUEST,Alan Date: 14 Apr 00 - 05:18 PM Hi Jon But didn't you know Bull Sh*t is a good fertiliser, it cultivates ideas and growth of knowledge!!!!!! :-) Alan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: M. Ted (inactive) Date: 14 Apr 00 - 06:39 PM I thought it meant "But Seriously.." And since you asked, I think Elian should replace Kathy Lee when Tony Blair has a baby. |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: wysiwyg Date: 14 Apr 00 - 06:45 PM I don't know about any of the larger questions, but I know Friday at the Mudcat when i see it creeping over the horizon, and TGIF! ~S~ BS = Boast Shamelessly, and why the hell not? |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: annamill Date: 14 Apr 00 - 08:00 PM Kara, welcome to the nuttyness filled with beauty, compassion, laughter, overwhelming amounts of knowledge, and BS (Bull Sh*t) actually, but I like Praises definition from a couple of days ago, even though I cannot remember it right now. We have some good BS sessions. What else, considering the creative minds that belong in here. Love, annap(nottongueincheek) |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Hollowfox Date: 15 Apr 00 - 10:53 AM BTW, is this the "forum", the "chat", both, or what? Myself, I see this (whatever it may be) as equivalent to a good party, attended by people that share an interest of mine. Like all such good parties, the conversations (threads) are not necessarily limited to that intrest. If all of the threads were limited to folkwhatever, the place would get to dry, stuffy, pompous, and academic (in the negative sense: "Beware, lest you be mistaken for a scholar." It's a sufi saying I read once). On the other hand, we have our collective act together enough that the joys/sorrows/recipes/quotes/jokes/world news/personal opinions don't utterly take over and eliminate the folkwhatever content that attracted us all to the 'Cat in the first place. |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Apr 00 - 12:43 PM Hollowfox..........That is the BEST summation I have ever seen in one paragraph. Completely accurate IMHO. Could not be stated better. Many thanks. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: To much many music threads ! From: Bill D Date: 15 Apr 00 - 05:21 PM it seems there are those who truly revel in boring, pedantic scholarship, and almost despise rambling, 'BS' threads..The thing is, they also provide us with immense amounts of music & information to provide focus for our BS! I'm sure glad they do the research!!I guess it is well-nigh impossible to satisfy everyone's idea 'proper' proportion, but I tell you this...with a little bit of care, you can find almost anything you want in this forum, if not in the form or proportion you might most approve of. |
