  1. But the way the music was constructed to fit the lyrics is one of the most amazing things I've ever encountered in rock music. Or ANY music, for that matter.

     

    I couldn´t say it better.I´ve listened live last year on a Jeff´s solo show and I didn´t stop crying from the beginning to the end...

  2. It would be hard to imagine a sequence as good as ITMWLY, Pot Kettle Black, Poor Places, Reservations.

     

    Reedo's sequence would be really great too, but while I love Radio Cure as a song, I usually find it quite painful to listen to Jeff sing it...or rather, croak it out in that sheer unbridled misery. Dunno if Jeff can detach from the emotion of RC and just sing it with irony or whatever, but I doubt it. Maybe that's the reason they don't play it that often.

     

    I have the pleasure of hear it a couple of years ago,in Bilbao.Amazing,not irony,but a sweet sadness if it´s possible...

  3. Mr Tweedy seems to be a very shy man whereas she´s having fun,dancing,etc

    I wonder what can be his reaction without his guitar (I think he´s still very umconfortable singing Hummingbird)

  4. Having worked with sexually abused children, I have the deepest sympathy, sensitivity, and defensiveness for anyone who has been abused in any form, and I have complex and mixed feelings about those who were molested and then went on to molest others.

     

    I wish I could find some black and white moral stance on it all that would provide me peace and solace, but rarely does anyone who knows someone or was sexually assaulted themselves (as children) find total peace on this side of heaven.

     

    It's hard not to look at Michael and his family when they were adorable kids and not be heartbroken by the idea that his parents messed them up for life. I think of some of the young victims I have known and worked with and it's difficult for me to ever think, that even if they were to commit the most dispicable of acts, I would still not be influenced by their traumatic events. I think that's how I've always approached my judgment of Michael Jackson. I can't condone his sins but I also can't condemn him either.

     

    All the same, I can't condemn those who feel intense judgment and condemnation against the man. But for those who do not share my ambivalance in judging him, please do not ever mistake my empathy and reservations as endorsing the man's life and the legacy he left as a person outside of music.

     

     

     

     

     

    Aside from all that, my first childhood hero has died. It does feel like a part of my childhood just went away.

     

     

    Well said.Wondeful words.My first words today when I heard about his death were "Poor little boy!".

    Anyways ,he give us probably one of the best records of the history.

  6. Crossed fingers for you, so how did it go :) ?

     

    Hmmm,what can I say?Reading and writing parts fine,I think.The Use of English part,not bad.The listenig was specially difficult this year,that made me cry (oh well,made me angry) because I´m really good on that one and I´ve lost many marks there.The Speaking part was today,and as you can imagine,I spoke a lot (maybe not perfect,haha,but the examiner needs stop me twice :punch )
