Which artists do you just not get?

Celine Dion - has anyone brought her up yet? Sweet JESUS! Her style isn't something I would like regardless but what's up with her popularity? I mean...what the $%&!?

FREE JOHN COLTRANE! to those in need, only, please.

really. if you dont get coltrane (or some part of his career) and you're interested email me privately and let me know what you don't like or understand and i'll pick out a song or two that i think might be enlightening w/ your specific issue in mind, burn it to a cd and send it out for free. my pleasure. (but do give me some insight about why you dont like him so i can make a good choice for you)

for those who have an issue with copyright infringement...i'm not copying an entire recording and those who receive the cd can toss it out after listening - if they've changed their mind about coltrane they can, and will, no doubt go buy some on their own. if they still don't like him, no harm done in the copying and it will wind up in the trash anyway.

Are there WRONG kinds of drugs to take while listening to The Grateful Dead?

I guess my post mentioning the Dead was deleted because of a naughty word i used to describe Celine Dion so i'll say it again: i never liked the Dead until i saw a concert, then i 'got it.' but the music you hear on their cds and lps (unless live) doesn't have anything to do with their live stuff which is what everyone is referring to when they say they are Dead fans. i dont understand the short studio cuts either... i wish someone could explain this to me. the dead sings about being on the run from the law, having kids around the country from women they knocked up, being in jail... this doesn't go with the vibe i got at the concert at all.

cpdunn99 - what don't you get about Coltrane the man? that's a very interesting comment. i'm very curious. i might agree even! please let me know. (do you like his music but just dont get him as a person? his philosophy of music, the way he lived his life??) i really am interested, not looking for an argument at all.

Campbell speaks the truth again. have you been meditating or reading the krishnamurti again? i also think springsteen is sincere. Bono is another story all together.

rock virgo referenced limos in regard to these super rich musicians who started in poverty: springsteen once said he doesn't like riding in a limo. he said it's only fun when you know you're not supposed to be in one. that's thinking a long time back for him but at least he still gets it.

Tom waits is someone who really HAS avoided the pitfalls of success and remained humble, always experimenting with his music, pushing himself, unconcerned with public reaction and certainly unconcerned with the way he dresses (joan rivers wont be asking him from what designer he got his tux from anytime soon.)
