Locking this thread. Not an artist thread, not intended to discuss the music.. Plus totally inappropriate comments along the way.

As long as there's that.

Yeah, I'd take 3 years. (Two if he doesn't have a no-trade clause?) I've seen the guy live, and the kind of skills he has, you don't disrespect (or, really, lose with age). Like any artist, he needs the right context to maximize his possibility for success, but damn....

btw, it's just "Dunkin'" now. Has been since 2019.

In Texas it is, yeah.

Sweet, soft, and hot. What's not to like?

I'd take that. What is he now, 36?

Yu is a bad man. I'd much rather have him than not have him. How long are they getting him for?

They an be that, especially if they've been sitting a while. But fresh and hot...mmmmm! And for that, you need an actual shop, not a box that's been sitting in a grocery store or a 7-11.

Hopefully god is not finished with him yet.

I've met a few people who actually do not like Krispy Kreme. I don't get it, but hey. Me, I had to stop eating them, because...can you OD on them? I think you can? I came close enough to have quit while I was ahead.

Is that record any good?

YEE-HA!!!!!! That's the lead singer! Or was the lead singer up until that... YEE-HA!!!!!!

Strongest list in a while, imo! Maybe the music was gaining steam as the 80s approached, and i don't mean the "young lions" crapmusik.

oh wait, the subject has changed. it used to include "and other weapons of war" or something like that.

Want is not need. But want is ok, as far as it goes.

Gagging noises?

Favorably reviewed by the 1970 New York Times, where the records he made for MGM are referenced - and after already seeing them on Discogs, now I want to ask/know...where are they now? https://www.nytimes.com/1970/01/25/archives/recordings-when-masselos-plays-satie-simplicity-not-monotony.html#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20fondly%20remembered%20re%20cordings%20from,to%20an%20admirer%20of%20Satie%20and%20Masse%20los

Oh MY!!!

Then it's best that he lived and died when he did. I think people need to get over the whole "sellout" and "Uncle Tom" stuff - there was a real reason why people had those reactions, and one should not discount them. That was a fiber of the time. But that time has passed, the greater truth has held, and no matter what it all looked like then, and no matter how legit the discomfort was then, then has passed. so let's just get on and learn the bigger lessons. Hell, let's learn the biggest one - that Louis Armstrong was bigger and better than all the shit he went through and put up with and played into. He was above all that and here's the deal-sealer - he knew it. He knew who he was, more than the business, more than the society, more than the critics, more than anybody. So let's learn that about his, and then hopefully work on getting each and all of ourselves on that path. Anything else is just blahpidation.

Not much for Copland in general, but these are two nice pieces, especially Variations. Good, stout music,
