The discussion centers around a strong dislike for certain songs and pop music in general, particularly highlighting Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" as overly sentimental. Participants express frustration with modern pop, often labeling it as "bubblegum" music reminiscent of the 60s and 70s. There is a consensus that much of today's mainstream music lacks substance, focusing instead on beats and rhythms rather than meaningful lyrics. The conversation also touches on the perceived decline of Christian music since its "golden age" in the 90s, with some participants reminiscing about bands like dc Talk and Jars of Clay. Overall, the thread reflects a shared sentiment that many popular songs, especially from artists like Taylor Swift and the Black Eyed Peas, are unappealing and lack artistic depth.

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.
