Looks like someone swallowed the "I am a rebel" BS hook line and sinker.

But, but, he's a hipster. ? (Hipster - a term originally from the forties but made popular in the late fifties and the sixties. ?)

If you criticise him he always has to throw a hissy-fit and insult you.

 

The waffle about " music i've never heard before" reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Yosemite Sam playing the spoiled king - "I'm sick of variety. Bring me something different".

 

For those who appreciate an intelligent lyric and wonderful melody from a great songwriter and guitarist. Had the pleasure of seeing him live way back when.

 

Richard Thompson - Beeswing.

Wow. A tune with a swear word in the title. Now that must be cool and radical.

 

Bessie Smith - Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl. Released about 1931.

 

When Bessie Smith said it was raining, you put up your umbrella.

From one of the most unique and individual talents of the last several decades.

Tom Waits - I don't wanna grow up.

 

 



When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Another great songwriter and seriously funny guy who I have seen live twice.

Loudon Wainwright III - I Am The Way.

 

 

"Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometime. Especially when he goes around saying 'I am a hipster the Way'"

One of my favourite 'seeker' songs. This guy understood what the Sirens are saying, which is more than can be said for so-called scholars.

 

"One eye for study and one eye for meditation".

The Buddha.

Haven't they suffered enough?

Probably not as much as your parents.

You cannot come up with any sort of coherent or rational defence of anything you say so now you are just trying to cause pain and upset.
