HUNKY DORY
People on ludes should not drive
music I like 
1st-Oct-2008 12:27 am
When I get drunk, which is usually nightly, I generally listen to what can be called

COMFORT MUSIC

I usually play the rolling stones Exile on Main Street or my favorite, Wings - Band on the Run.  By favorite, I mean,
music I like to hear while toasted.

I could honestly say that my favorite living musicians are Beck, Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz, and Prince because they on their albums play every instrument.  Oh sure, there is the saxaphohist or the extra but for the most part on
thieir albums, it is them playing all the instruments,.  I'd like to include Pete Townsend into this group but since he
had the greatest rock drummer and bass player combo of all time I'll have to pass on him.  I think any body
whocan play all instruments and make a great album is a step above the rest.  So I have said what I said, and
that's all that I said.  

Music is a funny thing.  I would put George Clinton up there with them, but he can't really sing and he can't really 
play any instrument, yet he spearheaded one of  the greatest funk/psychedelic/rock bands of all time.
Jimmy's gotta little bit of bitch in him.  The bitch in him, outweighs the Jim.

So go figure.

I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
I thought the major was a lady suffragette

McCartney is the man. Probably the most talented Beatle, pound for pound. Lennon was awesome, honest and profound, but when it came to songwriting craft and musicianship, you can't beat Paul.

And he's likely the most underrated bassist in the history of music. LISTEN to his lines. Pure genius.

Beck is great. Prince is one of the best ever, though I've never been into him as much as I should.

But Kravitz? I don't think he belongs on your list, Bravo. He's OKAY, barely. "Let Love Rule" is a terrific record, but that was almost 20 years ago. But he's released a LOAD OF CRAP since then.

To include Lenny K and Sir Paul in the same sentence is just wrong. Actually, I'm not even that big a fan of Lenny, he's not fit to eat Paul's shit. It's just that he DID play EVERYTHING on the Let Love Rule album, so that's pretty wicked.

I actually rewrote the piece. have another gander if time allows And pt. 3 of my story will be posted by the time you read this. And YOU make a cameo appearance.

Believe it or not.

Would you believe...Maxwell Smart Agent 86. Another prime mover.

And as another ps, thanks for the readership.
