THIS blog WILL COMMENT ON LIVE ROCK PERFORMANCE. THE FIRST HUNDRED POSTS ; MY HONEST OPINION AS LIVE ROCK CRITIC. I have written lately of my own Live Rock journey and how it did end up wrecked on the rocks again and again. Still it is an incredible improvement to have recovered from virtual paralysis a number of times and be able to write and compose and play instruments and most of all to have been able to dance on stage and perfrorm on Harmonica with LIVE ROCK BANDS.

JUST RAPPING
RAPPERS WILL PURSUE OUTRAGEOUS AND HYPERBOLIC STANCES AND EVEN PERFORM LYRICS AND IN SUCH A MANNER WHICH SOME PEOPLE WOULD FIND TO BE OFFPUTTING.
RAPPERS ARE SEEKING TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE AND TO SUCCEED IN HAVING A FAN BASE OR A FOLLOWING.
THE POLITICAL BROADCASTERS AND POD CASTERS AND SOME POLITICIANS ARE WRITING AND PERFORMING IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE WAY THE RAPPERS APPROACH THEIR PERFORMANCE.
A LOT OF THE POPULAR WEB CASTERS OR SITE OPERATORS ARE BEING LISTENED TO AND THEIR POSTURING TO ATTRACT VIEWERS AND LISTENERS IS BEING ACCEPTED AS THE TRUTH. IF YOU WISH TO BE ENERVATED OR ENTERTAINED GO RIGHT AHEAD AND FOLLOW THE POPULIST FOLLOWER SEEKERS BUT DO NOT GET YOUR NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THOSE SOURCES. THEY ARE JUST RAPPING.
THE TIME A MUSICIAN WORKS AND PRACTICES MAY BE REWARDED WITH OUTSTANDING EARNINGS. THE WORK MIGHT COME TO FRUITION FOR A LIFETIME OR A SHORT TIME OR NOT AT ALL.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENVIOUS OR RESENTFUL OR FEEL THAT "MAKING MONEY FOR MUSIC" WAS ILLEGITIMATE.
I WORKED A LOT AT ART, WRITING AND MUSIC WHICH IS EVIDENCED BY MY TOTE FILLED WITH TAPES OF SONGS I WROTE AND PERFORMED AND RECORDED AND A BOX OF THE SONGS' LYRIC BOOKS. MORE RECENTLY I TAPED AND IN SOME CASES PUBLISHED MY WORK ON YOU TUBE AND @blogspot.com .
WHENEVER I HAVE BEEN FIT TO PRACTICE I PRACTICED EVERY DAY OR SECOND DAY FOR THE LAST FIFTY FIVE YEARS. I DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE ANY MONEY.

I STILL DO WATCH SOME LIVE PERFORMANCES ON TV.
HOZIER WAS LIVE ON STEPHEN COLBERT LAST WEEK. HIS MUSICAL PERFORMANCE WAS SCHMALTZ . THE MOST PATHETIC PART OF HIS POSEURISM WAS THAT HE CARRIED HIS GUITAR WITH THE STRINGS BLOCKED ALL THE TIME AND WHEN HE `SOLOED` HIS GUITAR PLAYING WAS WEAK AND IRRELEVANT TO THE SONG AND THE MUSICAL SCORE.

TV SERIES CRITIQUE.
TRUE DETECTIVE "NIGHT COUNTRY".
TOUTED AS "AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL TRUE DETECTIVE". THAT IS NOT TRUE.
IN "NIGHT COUNTRY", THERE WERE A FEW UNUSUAL CHARACTERS BUT NOTHING LIKE THE POPULATION OF THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES AS DEPICTED IN THE ORIGINAL "TRUE DETECTIVE."
I KEPT WAITING FOR SOME MOMENTOUS REVELATION OR EVENT TO MATERIALIZE BUT ALL THERE WAS WAS A CREEPY UNSETTELLING APPREHENSION.
THE MUSIC WAS VERY GOOD.

PERFECT DANCE AT SUPERBOWL LVIII
USHER CAN DANCE AND HE SUNG VERY WELL DESPITE THE BLING AND THREADS.
USHER ROLLER SKATES JUST GREAT.
I DID SKATE AROUND VICTORIA STOPPING TO PLAY HARMONICA WITH BUSKERS, ROLLERBLADING IN TO PLAY SOME HARP AND THEN ROLLERBLADING AROUND AND RETURNING TO PLAY SOME MORE HARMONICA.
HE DANCED WITHOUT ANY AWKWARDNESS, WITH PERFECT BALANCE AND WITH NO VULGARITY.

I DID NOT THINK I WOULD WATCH IT BUT I DID. THE MOVIE WAS OK AND THE MUSIC WAS SPECTACULAR.
I BELIEVE MOST OF THE MUSIC WAS ORIGINAL. THE CLUB SCENE WITH BLACK SINGERS AND DANCERS AND A WHITE ROCK BAND WAS REALLY GOOD.
THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE THE VARIETY AND QUALITY OF THE MUSIC WAS VERY GOOD. THE CARS WERE GREAT ALSO. THE CITY SCENES WERE AUTHENTIC.
