Sinister: pop and non-pop; Coronation Street; Xmas songs (lon g-ish, no real B&S)

[Keith Watson]

But duke, don't be afraid of getting back to basics, what's
wrong and right.
MY pop can and will never include Stairway to bleedin' Heaven or
Smoke on the Water. Let those who want to incorpaorate those moments
find their own words for their macho, thoughtless unchallenging guff.
Let them have rock, or whatever, if it makes them feel more manly.
Because the joy of the self-making that pop allows is the ability to
place yourself _against_  as well as (more than?) _for_.


----------------------

Stairway to Heaven and Smoke on the Water do not make me feel more *manly*,
I just like them. I don't have a problem with this, indeed however I have a
tendency not to like macho kinds of music, perhaps just have a different
definition. I figure I'm just going to have a hard time bottling up all the
types of music I like and calling it something - it's just not going to
happen.
    Actually, that above stuff its just total toss, it's basically down to
you don't like it and figure that you're right and others are wrong.

Keith.
