Never?
Not commenting on whatever the underlying discussion is going on here, I've
deleted most of it unread. But this caught my eye and I couldn't let the
irony pass without notice. Was it intentional?
In an earlier delete that I am too lazy to retrieve from the wastebasket,
someone wrote something to the effect that some Chick had been forced or
coerced into self-censorship. Words count.
Beyond singing a bad cover of a bad Stevie Nicks song on some recent
self-congratulatory love fest, I don't know anything about the Dixie
Chicks. Perhaps I don't even know this and am dredging up some inaccuracy
from a murky memory.
I rarely post here but I read it regularly. So to move somewhat closer to
on-topic, I am absolutely obsessed with "Down With Wilco" by The Minus
5. I liked Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but did not think it was the second coming
of rock and roll, either. Nice hype, nice background story, really good
but not great record. But this, ah this, I can't stop playing it. Over
and over. If you didn't like YHF, you probably won't care for this. But
if you did, you should probably get this one pronto. Plus it has close up
shots of Serge and Fenix modular synthesizers on the back cover. Banana
plugs rule!
