| 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 |
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.
