The Food Thread

[Vrede too]

Plus I never heard of 90% of those "performers".

Why "performers" in quotes as a way to disparage them? Just because you may be culturally ignorant or have different musical taste doesn't make the performers any less talented or less entertaining for others.

Oh, for God's sake.

God's sake is the national drink of Japan.

For God's sake [hic!], Useless, why are you cowering from O Really's perfectly reasonable question?

(signature: obsessed butthurt )

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Old boy's really quite the fossil isn't he?

[Vrede too]

Give Useless a break. He's so tragically out of touch with the music scene that he actually thinks it's possible to bring pizza into festivals, and that all hip-hop is "thug music".

Old boy's really quite the fossil isn't he?

As am I in a lot of ways, though I attended festivals like Bumbershoot (O Really?) late enough to see the tightening of rules over what may be brought in. I can't guess how many decades ago Useless' last festival must have been, if he ever went to any. Clueless Useless.

Then, one doesn't ever have to go to a hip-hop concert to know the wide diversity the genre includes, even if not a fan. Racists like Useless still stereotype it, though. Clueless Useless.

The funny thing is that I also have never heard of many of the Coachella performers. The difference between Useless and we normal people is that Useless blames the performers for his own ignorance. Clueless Useless.

In each instance Useless has chosen to expound on topics where he's a fossil, and he never can adult-up and admit that Clueless Useless is the problem, not these external realities.

The thought of my parents attending a Grateful Dead show or a Superbowl of Rock concert in the 70's is pretty amusing and ludicrous.

They of course never heard of the bands or liked most of my music (as I wasn't a fan of most of theirs) but I can't recall ever being degenerated.

"degenerated"? Denigrated, or do you mean generational denigration?

Superbowl of Rock - Oooh, Ted Nugent. Your parents were correct.

In the 70s my Mom and I went together to Arlo Guthrie, David Bromberg, Seals & Crofts, various acts at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, and Sisterfire in 1978 during a visit home from college, but I made my own way to Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, a few festivals, etc. I remember her once asking me whether a lot of the tonal nuance of acoustic music isn't lost in electric music, which is a valid criticism, but ignores the added richness that electric music brings. Otherwise, I don't recall her ever being critical. We just knew that we had mostly different tastes.

Aside: Mom gave me and a friend a ride to Emerson, Lake & Palmer as I wasn't driving yet. Before the show she saw an ad which featured their tagline, "The Show that Never Ends". She asked me just how late was she going to have to come pick us up.

Whack9 and I attended the same Carolina Rebellion in 2016 but I was working first aid, so we didn't hang out for a long time.

I guess I'm not thaaat much of a festival fossil . Much of that dagummed younguns' music wasn't to my taste, but that's all it is - taste.

[Ulysses]

Oh, for heaven's sake.

What is the thread topic, again?

Food, isn't it?

Not music, right?

[neoplacebo]

I would sometimes eat raw Pilsbury biscuit dough. And my mom made me return my Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention "Just Another Band From LA" album when she heard Frank shouting to a live audience "I think it's fucking great to be alive. If anyone doesn't think it's fucking great to be alive they better leave." I didn't take it back to the store but never played it when she was around after that. And at the time I thought it was fucking great that mom thought I'd gotten rid of that record but didn't really.

Oppsie... I'm blaming auto correct

Superbowl of Rock - Oooh, Ted Nugent. Your parents were correct.

In fairness to me, Ted the Sledge wasn't the known wingnut he is now.

His whole message back then was don't do drugs, eat meat and chase tail.

[O Really]

People have different tastes in food and music, and I'm not offended if somebody listens to a particular person and then says "they sound like a bag of cats". But if you don't know them, haven't listened to their music and just blow them off as air-quoted "performers," then yeah, it seems it's likely not the performer who is deficient. Like I'm pretty sure not everybody cares for crawfish etouffee, but it would be pretty silly to blow off New Orleans cuisine as quotes emphasized "food" or those who prepare it as "cooks."

To stay on topic, here's FOOD for thought......virtually all of us here that were teenagers in the late 60's and early 70's know the sound of rock and roll guitars. What most people don't realize is that a lot of those tones were actually distortion from the guitar amplifiers. The Beatles and most other English bands used Vox amplifiers equipped with Mullard tubes. Mullards break up nicely when overdriven but had those amplifiers been equipped with RCA or Amperex or Telefunken tubes, the sound would have been noticeably different and our own definition of what sounds "good" would also be different. An EL34 Mullard tube that sold for around $3 in 1965 will cost you about $200 or more now depending on how it tests for emissions and transconductance. I use Dutch made EL34's.

Oh, for heaven's sake, you whiny hall monitor. YOU were the very first person to reply to O Really's Coachella festival food tangent, and YOU were the one who then stupidly posted:

... Next time, bring your own goddam pizza pie.

Grow up and own YOUR poor choices for once in your life.

How about posting an audio clip of your guitar work? Along with a food recipe, of course.

I don't have a guitar. I was referring to the tubes in my stereo amplifier. I did used to have a drum set.

I use one of those Biden glass pipes. Saves paper.

Did that come with your free covid test kit?

I never got one of those. Don't know why. The post office knows where I live.

I'm guessing that you never played Dinah-Moe Humm for her.

No, never had that one.

Well, I got my four free covid test kits. After I picked up five test kits at Costco. Those were about $4 ea. None of them had glass pipes though. Was I cheated? They did have little q-tips and plastic vials full of reagent solution. Just finished the last of the freebies last night. Negative, as were all the others.

Right now I'm finishishing off a serving of mash taters, chicken dark meat (BBQ), and swiss chard from the garden. Not bad!
