Only you can block yourself from seeing posts. O.P. (other people) can not stop you seeing what they post.

That would be so nice though.

 

It depends. I spent summers in the 1950's on a farm in Kentucky. The same 10 songs played over and over, all crying about, "My hound dog died", "My pick-up truck is broken" or, "My sex partner cheated on me". Gee, the world is so awful and I'm so lonesome I could die. That was enough to put me off listening to the radio for about 10 years.

Back to the city and add ten years, and my musical world lit up!
That's when I bought a guitar.

Yep same here except it was the 1970 - 80's. Cripes I can still remember when we got our first vehicle with a FM capable radio in the mid 80's. Whole new world of music to listen to!

 

Over the last decade or so my musical tastes have diversified; I listen to lots of kinds of music now, but my main staple has always been rock. When I was in high school (2000-2004) there were 3 rock stations, and they played hard(ish) stuff like Metallica, System of a Down, Korn, etc. The softest they went was like Blink-182, and we complained that wasn't hard enough. That was near San Antonio. Now over a decade later I live in Houston, and there is only 1 (ONE) rock station, and on their best day the hardest they play is AWOLNation; Mostly it's Mumford Sons type stuff. It's alternative at best; really it's just another pop station.

Now I'm not saying that I don't like Mumford Sons, Kongos, Arcitic Monkeys and all that, I do like it sometimes. But other times I want to hear the soundtrack to something being destroyed.

My kind of music! Toss in some ICP and a bunch of hair band and mixed classic hard rock from the late 70's on up and there you go, That's my life playlist!

A Phd in what? You mean you can not conceive why others have different music preferences?

Sounds like a Phd candidate. Children teaching children.

Who told you that you were capable of deciding an injustice? Another Phd?

And no....I don't think you kinda get anything. You have been put into a coma. Your mind is too closed to be a Phd.

It's just an off topic opinion. A phd does not impress me......it warns me.

From your reaction, i guess the word Phd is kinda threatening to you. or you have some inferiority complex. ... so, relax buddy, Phd is just a word, it doesn't mean that the one who has this degree must know everything. Phd students work on very specific problems.
Henceforth, if you don't like any of my topics or comments, you don't have to reply, just go find an interesting topic for you, and try not to be too judgemental.
If you have any problem with me stating the word " Phd " on my profile, give me your Email, we can talk about it.
I met many professors in several opportunities, and they were modest, .. but you seem to have issues.

Ugh... Stryper? Come on man....

It's not that you have a PHD in anything. The problem is too many here have life long experiences (plus way too much online experience too) with people who are 'credentialized' yet for all practical purposes are little more the blustering self important dummies with paperwork behind their names.

Most of us here judge a person by what they show they know and can do, Not by what some piece of paper they have says given too many people with a degree have shown they don't really know much of anything about reality in any way shape or form.

Mostly we don't judge a person until they show who they are and what they know and to be honest on line very few who have 'credentials' and consider them proof of knowledge of a topic ever prove they know jack shyte about anything.

That, and to be honest what may be the world's greatest song or music in your ers might be grating drivel in someone else's. I for one can't stand country music regardless of genre or age. It's all just eardrum grating drivel about half wits who do are forever doing the same stupid stuff over and over yet never learning from their own actions and mistakes.

 

It's 50s/60s night. Lotsa hits.

In the summer time many of the small town put on street dances with either live or DJ music which are usually lots of fun.

I used to do DJ work and helped out with a number of street dances over they years and always enjoyed it!

After sunset, there were a bunch of these in the grass at the concert venue -- like little robot bugs with bright green LED eyes. Maybe I don't get out enough, but after 30 years in S. Florida, this is the first time I saw them.

 

Rock on!

Are these men or women ?

Is that GI Joe Villain nearby ?

 

If someone could really tell you what makes a hit song, they'd be rich. There are many examples of record companies putting hit songs on the B side of records because they didn't recognize its hit potential. They chose another song for the A side that never went anywhere.

Nice reference to the 45 RPM record. You might have to expand on it when besieged with inquiries.

Yes

Men. These guys were wearing "glam rock" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glam_rock androgynous costumes and play "Christian Rock" music. They now wear more biker/leather costumes. I only know this because of controversy/complaint about thus band and the person playing this music at a school function. The intersection of "separation of church & state" with "free speech" and "artistic expression". No winners with that one.

Most dangerous question you can ask today

More dangerous than asking "Are you a terrorist. ?"

 

I found a way to be around good music...I volunteered to be the electronic tech for a band in L.A.
Free entrance to all practice sessions and public appearances, and nobody played a computer.
I repaired the broken guitar cords, made sure the amplifier grounds were synchronized so nobody got shocked, adjusted some sound settings and recording devices, then mostly enjoyed the ride.

Of that type, never seen one myself but heard of, in rural areas here. The most common (I''ve seen them quite often, as a kid) are those with a luminous appendix, showing up in warm summer nights.
