GREEN DAY'S GREATEST HIT



FOR MANY YEARS I HEARD GREEN DAY.

GREEN DAY WAS OK. I WAS NOT AMAZED NOR TRANSPORTED. HOWEVER, THE NEW INTRO TO BILL MAHR REAL TIME IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!


THE NEW DRUM SOLO THAT BEGINS IS BETTER THAN THE OLD INTRO SOLO. IT IS MORE ON SCALE AND IT HAS BETTER PUNCTUATION AND INCREDIBLY ACCURATE TIMING AND ACCELERATION.


I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO EMULATE THE CHARACTER AND THE TONE AND THE TERRIBLE SENSE OF IMPENDING DOOM WHICH THE GUITARS PORTRAY AT THE END OF THE INTRODUCTORY MUSIC.

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson, the Wayfair Lady and Television host surprised me with what a great singer she is.


You can laugh at me if I was deceived by a spoof, but I did see her and hear her on her own Kelly Clarkson television program.


Her voice was absolutely spectacular. She sang in a warm Contralto which soared and rose into quite appropriate crescendos without screeching.


I am critical of those who wander off key or have to compensate for being off the timing of bars. Clarkson did none of this. She sang what she sang straight up. It was very impressive.


I scrolled on to her program by accident, for less than a minute as the music was ending. The band was good, they looked pleased and happy.
