'If You Don't Like Hank Williams' (Kris Kristofferson) I said, I dig Roger Miller, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Shotgun Willie Nelson and them rockin' Rollin' Stones, And Jerry Lee's still gotta be the coolest in the class, And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.

Tony Rice, the king of bluegrass guitar. Sadly in the 90s he developed a condition that made it literally impossible for him to sing. He sang like an angel back in the day.

Quotewolfi The American spelling is usually just simpler - if I were nasty, I'd say: Conforming to their IQ ... Very droll. You know what they say about German humour... It's no laughing matter.
Forum: Tell Me

Quotekleermaker In my opinion English is a rather limited language. The only 'strange' thing about it is that it's a Germanic-Romance language (many words have a French origin, thanks to William the Conqueror and his Norman friends. It's not difficult at all for non-native speakers, as there's always the context. Without the context even native speakers would have a pro

I remember buying this album in February 1993 and being surprised that it was good, the badness of Jagger solo albums being axiomatic. Feeling old now.

QuoteBig Al QuoteAquamarine Because Webster decided that was more logical when he was compiling his dictionary. It was one man's decision, basically. Very interesting. Actually, I presumed the reason for the difference in the American spelling may have been a way to further distance themselves from the British, post-independence. Perhaps that sounds silly, I don't know. There m

In 1976 the English novelist Martin Amis wrote a short review for The New Statesman of the Stones' first show at Earls Court. It appears in a book of Amis's essays entitled Visiting Mrs Nabokov, but I can't find it online.

My parents owned an original vinyl copy of Sticky Fingers. When I was in my early teens, I put it on the record player one afternoon out of curiosity. After fifteen seconds it was clear there was no going back to Michael Jackson or Genesis or whatever pop rubbish I'd been listening to. That combination of brazen sleaze and ineffable beauty made the world of eighties pop irrelevant at a singl

I lost some respect for Robbie too, but Levon also came down a bit in my estimation. In trashing Robbie's reputation he harms himself and the Band's legacy as well. He tried to to distance himself from some of the bitchier passages when promoting the
