SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the dislike of certain popular songs, particularly highlighting "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton as a prime example of overly sentimental music. Participants express a strong aversion to modern pop music, referring to it as "bubblegum" and criticizing artists like Taylor Swift and the Black Eyed Peas. The conversation also touches on the perceived decline of quality in mainstream Christian music since the 1990s, with bands like dc Talk and Jars of Clay being mentioned as exemplars of a "golden age." Overall, the consensus is that much of today's music lacks substance and originality.

Usually anything that becomes popular isn't very good, so I'd have to say all of them.

The other Beatles were well aware that Boyd was having an affair with Clapton and left Harrison for him.

I play a few instruments, but stick mostly with guitar and vocals.
Ok, cool, turbo-1. By the way, I like your posts. I think you have a big heart. And you're probably more knowledgeable and smarter than me. But mostly I like the heart part. So, I hope you keep posting stuff that you think, but mostly feel, is right. Because we need that.

I played guitar, and violin and lots of other stuff for years. Then I decided to learn keyboards. so that's it for now. However, an old girlfiend of mine gave me a couple of harps, so I might get down on those. Hey, I'm a musician. Know what I mean?

Turbo's posts are nice, your's too.

Detest is too strong, but I'm not a fan of cloying sentiments, bad rhymes, “not even the chair”, and although I like a lot about this song, the lyrics trouble me, e.g. "mischievious".

I edited in my problem, the word "mischievious". I'm wondering now if that is an Americanism, I just thought it was incorrect.

Ok, I have checked out this fuzziness. I am not so amused. What is your name? Who are you? Why do you do this fuzzy thing?

You don't like it?! It is wonderful, profound stuff. I felt it an apt reflection of someone given to fuzzy, edited posts.
