Tell Me :
Talk
No truer thing said, and I love them for it. They basically just do what a rock n' roll band does, play bloody rock n' roll. They keep away from politics, they keep away from 'causes', they just get on with it ! As you so rightly say ... thank goodness !
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
Saw that and a few other clips from the same show over the weekend. Although I'd have to agree with your statement that "none of those people ever saw anything like this" as it pertains to the audience, THE BAND is a totally different story all together. Those guys knew what they were doing. They felt it, they heard it and they NAILED it. Assuming that they were local session players, my hat's off to them as they got it right in France in 1958!
Peace,
Mr DJA
yes good point thank you. I think it fair to say Paris was a particular hotbed for all kinds of wild jazz and the greatest of players ala Armstrong and others during that period and for years prior to this. Cats who would really be true instinctive players but also trained and very skilled. I hadn't considered that but yes, the band is right with him and setting him free to do that! viva la france
I third this pauly! thank goodness indeed!Thirded!... and the motion is passed!
STONES!!! itsonlyrockandrollthankgoodness!!!

That's as anti-American as it gets, after all, and it's definitely NOT codified anywhere in our laws.
Expressing opinions = high treason
No, he doesn't. Maybe for his musical achievements, yes. But on the other hand...
now now...let's not speak ill about the dead
I don't know where you reside, but Over here in Europe - at least: speaking for Belgium & Holland - there's a fair amount of media coverage.
Yes, he does.
I love this quote, my favorite from the movie- "Berry in his garage, displaying several Cadillacs under plastic and noting that because he couldn’t get the price he wanted for them, he’s saving them, “And in 20 years, I’ll sell them to you for $50,000.”
I loved it and laughed out loud how true it was the first time I heard him say it.
I hope CBII still has those cars.. they maybellene be worth a lot more than 50K.
I guess I loved it so much cuz I have been screwed selling cars and
I wished I could just park them and keep them versus getting ripped off...
Good for Chuck!! And great for his attitude. He knew.

I'm not sure Elvis would have gotten that much coverage had he lived to the age of 90. I think Chuck has gotten some pretty good coverage.
Talk about your favorite band.

From National Review. Rock N Roll is "Too organic and chaotic to be attributed to any one creator, but if anyone deserves pride of place as it's founding father ,it's Chuck Berry, who died at Saturday at 90, writes Dan McLaughlin at National Review. "He was rock's first guitar great", a complete package who wrote and sang his own songs , supported them with guitar theatrics and had his own music, mesmerizing stage presence complete with his signature duck walk". Plus he wrote "Johnny B. Goode". arguably "Rocks greatest single song. It's one of the first rock songs to do two things , let alone combine them - tell a story and feature a guitar solo...It's also a song about rock , and the possibilities it offers , even to a barely literate African -American teen in the age of Jim Crow".

Burned into our hearts and minds forever. These classic songs and his brilliant guitar
work. Saw the man only once in my life, in Amsterdam, but the memory will live on forever.
CBII, I wish you and your family strength during these days. Keep in mind that your
old man meant so much to so many people, all over the world. He will never be forgotten.
Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Chuck Berry. Without him there might have been no Rolling Stones. If there was they probably would have sounded very different. No doubt that Keith's early guitar style owes multitudes of thanks to Mr. Berry. Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is practically an encyclopedia of Berry licks! God bless, Chuck. You passed it on...

Yeh with you there; i don't wanna hear no speeches; if u can put something in a song fair game and all praises for pulling whatever off; but i'm like you about this. i do not want, and can not stand; these various celeb pitches about ANYTHING....
i mean if it's a benefit and they wanna encourage peeps to a charity or something i'm not gonna sound off like i know more than they do or have a right to complain but yeh i don't wanna hear any sloganeering or bullshit politicizing from stage...
i think you can make a much better point about whatever it is an artist is feeling or feels compelled to share by just doing a bang up job on a bang up song. Like Highwire says it all if they play it at the right time in the right circumstances. they don't have to make a speech about the military industrial complex and which party wants what war at any given moment; or whatever....i'm a pretty socially concious person but still don't want to hear a music or movie star give a stupid speech and most of them are really really really stupid. even ones i sort of agree with. it's their right and all that. but i can tell u that when bono starts that shit it pretty much ruined me even wanting to go near anything they were babbling on a record or at a live show. if that's my loss I'll wear it with satisfaction.
I really have always loved Bruce; and probably am aligned with a lot of the issues he seems to care about but he has totally turned me off with latest non stop mouthings and posturings....i mean i'm not gonna look at him exactly the same anymore because of just this. some movie stars too. stfu. they are supporting people with veins in their teeth trying to get people off supoprting people with veins in their teeth; how about a big circle where we can all hold hands and shout stfu. that would be a nice moment.
I love the MC5; I'm not afraid of music getting political or edgy. This is partly why Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane and others, including The Stones and Beatles were really important to me in a way, back then Viet Nam and segregation days....but...they were singing it...and with some great songs....and in Morrison's case, some vivid early anti war videos prettyh much way ahead of the curve....
i like the folk music protest thing and all the political social conciousness of trying to stop (unsuccessfully) a war. war is over if u want it and all thatl. the songs were great. john and yoko were starting to sound like really naieve college kids who had taken a poli sci class and were teenagers; it wasn't helping i don't think. And it did sort of get him locked up locked down; almost deported year on end; kept him away form his step daughter; and maybve even killed him when all the final dust settles....
i admire the hell out of Phil Ochs. but it's the songs; it's thje songs. i have a lot of his records and shows and he never stops talking about current events and his flash on things, but it's not a speech; it's clever challenging funny songs; and makes a bigger impact, at least on me....

Some actors are the worst blabbermouths.
It has always been a mystery to me why anyone would allow an actor/celeb (someone who is paid to read other peoples words for a living, reading scripts is their job) to influence anyones opinion on anything... from what beer to drink, what credit card to use, what car to buy and especially who to vote for in politics.

so it is proper to see that the MSM is giving the passing of the Great Chuck Berry proper attention.
