We'll have to agree to disagree on Brian Wilson's output. To my ear the melodies and harmonies (and, from time to time, the lyrics, which are seldom his) are timeless. Someone will be recording "Caroline No" decades from now.<br /><br /><br />(2b) Anonymous, come on now. You think Danny's hat really affects my judgment? Shouldn't have to flag the joshing, should I? D. Balis is one of the very best things about The Ticket. He thinks its a good look for him, hey, OK with me.

Am I missing something?<br /><br />I generally think of The Plainsman as an even-keeled guy, but this statement is ridiculous and calls into question your judgment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-14545661317175345272010-11-04T09:50:27.416-05:002010-11-04T09:50:27.416-05:00Danny is right.

And that mistake has now passed on to be canon. <br /><br />And furthermore, Danny's "ubercoolness" about music is a refreshing change from the vanilla that is Corby and the entrenched tastes of Rhynes. <br /><br />Full disclosure: Balis is in my extended-extended circle of friends (friend of a friend), and one evening we engaged in a two-hour music debate. We have some common ground, but for the most part, we're different breeds. So this isn't a case of me sticking up for a guy who shares my musical tastes. He generally doesn't.<br /><br />But to restate: <br /><br />1. He is right about Wilson.<br />2. Thank God someone on my favorite radio program knows something about music beyond greatest hits of the 60s/70s and college frat douche 101.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-63045237568561118652010-11-04T09:05:25.523-05:002010-11-04T09:05:25.523-05:00I think this is a situation when Danny needs to pr...I think this is a situation when Danny needs to provide his HSO. Just a discussion piece for him.

Great, great, post. Danny's missing the boat when it comes to Brian Wilson, but that's his loss, I guess. <br />As for Corby, he highlighted "God Only Knows" one Valentine's Day when talking about his favorite love songs. So there's a little inconsistency there.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014047518163579226noreply@blogger.com
