How much of popular music would be different if the "glad" did not rhyme with "sad"?
"We shall overcome". Would that, you know, hurt?
What, exactly, are the "pompitudes of love"? Are there pompitudes of hate? Indifference?
If a band is mostly male, but has one female, why is it likely she plays the bass?
If bass is as important as any other instrument, why do bass players, when they go solo, start playing guitar? (Paul McCartney, Mike Rutherford, Sting).
Back in the 80s when they started colourizing old black and white movies, in one film they gave Frank Sinatra brown eyes.
Is there anything worse than listening to a great live song recorded in the 70s than all of a sudden there is that 5-12 minute drum solo? That was just so everyone but the drummer could go to go get high, right? I Guess the drummer got high during the acoustic set?
Ian Gillian, on the album "Made in Japan" says, on a sound check, "I want everything louder than everything else". This is not an observation, but it is funny. The man played Jesus after all!
Once in 1983 while driving my parents' Dodge Omni, with some friends, one station played Genesis' "Supper's Ready". On the same night another station played the live version of that song. If you do not know, that song is 22 minutes long so the chances of that happening, even back then, are less than being shot by a terrorist, winning the lottery and being struck by lightning on the same day. Heck, there will be a black or female president of the United States before it happens again!!!
