Meigs now enjoyed by all!

Who dat? The only thing that keeps me from going on Jeopardy and eclipsing
Ken Jennings is fear that I will be faced with a category involving modern
music or performers (can't bring myself to say "singers").

My favorite on-point anecdote has to do with megastar Brandy, who probably
makes more in a day than I make in a year. When she "starred" in Cinderella
on TV, she not only breathed in the middle of a phrase, she breathed in the
middle of a word!! Who taught her to sing?

On a figure skating newsgroup, one poster compared the facial contortions of
Michael Bolton, who for some odd reason was included in a skating show, to
those of someone passing a kidney stone. Singing is not supposed to be
painful, but if you turn off the sound and just watch their faces, modern
singers all seem to be in agony.

Needless to say, my TV goes to "mute" when I see a modern singer/group walk
up to the microphone.

It's a generational thing...I wouldn't walk across the street to see any
of the acts you mention. IMHO there has been no good music since the
1960s.


... Yes, with the possible exception of Chris de Burgh ...

Michael Bolton is a "modern singer"?

It is possible that he does not sell as well in the USA as the rest of the
world, but if you like '60s stuff, then it is hard to believe that you would
not like de Burgh's early stuff (1975) even better.

I'm a 40s and 50s guy...pre-Beatles.

LOL.

He seems to tour Germany more than anywhere else (in fact he is there most
of July)... You guys love his stuff even more than we do. :-)

Icebound,

I know. And I can vaguely remember a time 20 years back when I was
delighted to have him as the pre-show gig for Supertramp (is my age
showing yet? ;-)). But I can't stand him anymore. Music is truly
personal...

Recently I tried to explain to some coworkers who Sky were...

Very.

An acquired taste perhaps.

I'm not talking about that pukey "Lady in Red" which is about the only thing
which ever played on North American radio.

Most of his other album cuts, especially before 1986, are way more
interesting. Genius.

Any relation to Lady Catherine in Pride and Prejudice?
