@ guywolff

you are right in every particular, and let's not forget that the Dylan also poached from Martin Carthy. However, neither Paul Simon, nor Dylan, have Carthy's style. They copied, but could not get the sweet rolling poetry and rhythm of Carthy's version. I would rather listen to M Ca...

Thank you, Mitchy, I'll take that + 1

This is indescribably aweful, plagiarism upon a plagiarist's version by people who think it's cool to be cowled.

Still prefer Blink182 . . .

It's driving me crazy . . . who's the dude waving the stick?

@ NuckyBishop

Excellent observation, you must be a fundamentalist.

@ Exciter218 et al

You call it laid back shuffle, I get that when I hear it - but this is just lazy playing. No excuses. It's pay-dirt. Style over substance. I speak as a onetime fan.

I may be getting old, but this is the witless anthem of my youth. It speaks to all :)

To the piano playing dude - you just have to practice more, then maybe you will understand

@ Timrath

I agree with everything you say, you might chuck Chaucer and Shakespeare into the mix. They are all testament to what has been achieved by human-kind over centuries. Personally, if I were to invite a frenchman over to dine, it would be Rameau - oh, and Rabelais.

The greatest achievem...

@ romuloVG

You think actors can dance a volta? They wouldn't have the breath to converse.

The pavan is a stately processional dance, so this doesn't work on any level.

I read your comments about art, even political, periods in history but the style is what it is and easily recogniseable. Robert Morton was writing in the ancient style, largely driven by an ecclesiastical method of composition. The very idea he was of the 'renaissance' (in whatever region you p...

@ LandonInFlorida

You speak with confidence. I admire that. However, I would take you to task as to how, precisely, you know you were once much like me? Shredded arpeggios my breakfast cereal of choice? I think not. In one respect you are right on the money: I don't 'get this', but I do u...

Nice choral, simple, above a basic ostinato. Pleasant. I like pleasant.

third-rate band wearing masks - you bought it. Didn't you understand where Kiss would lead? Hang your heads in shame.

I don't know Jimmy Page, but I reckon he will be in mourning today. I know I am. There are those folks, lost to us now, who will shine forever. R.I.P Bert Jansch. Loved your stuff, and miss it.

I am reminded of Shakespeare's Richard III "... in a lady's chamber to the lascivious pleasings of a lute". Not certain if that is exact, but it is illuminating.

Just listened to Badge again, first time in thirty years, and it is not good. They say never go back. I think they probably right.

@ Hennessy1989, go back and redo your homework. Think Coverdale as an impersonator ... got it yet?

@ pancaking

a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I don't detect any auto-tuning on this - maybe you thinking of Cher?

@SvAleRiRb No one claimed the vocals were dubbed. Reference to 'backing band' might've given you the clue. Duh.
