Re: Music opinion/question of the week...
That Swans oral history I read revealed that she and Michael Gira dated for several months in the early 80s. A truly odd combination.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You can see a reasonable helthy mix of acts with big superstars Bowie/Madonna/Springsteen/Prince all in the 30 as they would have been with or without Live Aid.Low Down Low wrote: ↑25 Jul 2018, 5:52pmLive Aid didn’t fundamentally change anything but it helped usher in the era of the rock superstar and the mega stadium event. I think it made things more conservative. This might have happened anyway but I think Live Aid was a catalyst.

She claims to have been a punk back then. So not that far fetched.

Gira *hated hated hated* punks. (Tho he seemed to have hated most everything and everybody until around '88 or '89. A scary angry guy back then.) It just seems like he would have seen through her obvious ambition and despised her for it.

In the Cyndi Lauper vs. Madonna debate, I was firmly Cyndi. Still am.
