TrishB That‘s mean! 6mo
Bookwormjillk That‘s so wrong! 6mo

julesG I remember thinking something similar about a year ago. 😉 6mo

For me, it's a tie between Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes and Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. Both songs make me want to switch the dial immediately!! Also, Escape is probably the most unrealistic song about infidelity ever written. #tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

TieDyeDude Ha, I re-watched an episode of It's Always Sunny recently where they were arguing about Escape being a Jimmy Buffett song 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wahj_Dexhxw

Solid choices. “Thanks“ for playing 😉

Megabooks I‘ve always found both these songs funny! 7mo
AlaMich I was a kid when Afternoon Delight was on the radio…never had a clue what the title referred to! 😂 7mo

Leftcoastzen Eewww! Agree 7mo
Ruthiella Oh, I love both those songs. They remind me of being 10 years old and having no clue what either song was really about. 😆 7mo
CarolynM I agree Escape is completely unrealistic, but I thought it was kinda cute when I first heard it. My 24yo daughter, however, is appalled by it🤣 7mo

I got some good information about the different areas of jazz, but the best things I got from it were the playlists for each of those areas.

Oft-imitated but never quite equalled, Lester Bangs is one of those writers (like Hunter S Thompson) whose influence on modern journalism is inescapable, mostly (and ironically) for the worse. I say ironically because I consider each to be two of the best writers of the second half of the 20th century, a feeling only reinforced by decades of bad impersonations in alternative weeklies and online magazines all across the country.

Bookwomble Knowledge engenders more and more questions, perhaps? Or "one in, one out", but I don't think memory necessarily works that way, unless we're reaching cognitive overload. 5y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I wonder if he means, as we learn new things, old preconceived notions we thought were true, like the earth is flat, are removed. So that way we learned something new, but also unlearned (is that a word?) something that turned out to be false. New facts replace old so we learn and discard ideas at the same time. 5y
Bookwomble Yes, I like that. 🙂 I think it's good to hold the fluidity of a concept and its many possibilities, rather than seeking to fix it in a single form. 5y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I guess you can't truly learn unless you're open to the idea that everything you currently hold true might be wrong. That's why I find non-fiction history and science books so fascinating, that constant give and take between when I thought I knew to be true, and new facts/ ideas that change my viewpoint. 5y
