TimeThief 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Any other strange ordering systems? I remember that question from a Nick Hornby book. Alphabetically, by producer, and by colour. I was unemployed Impressive! Anyone want a guess on how long it is before he gets arrested again whilst on bail? I give him three days. After this I give him a week, if that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My keyboard is broken beyond repair so at the moment i'm using On - screen keyboard which alll this clicking gets to be a bitch. I've listned to a few of his songs but no not much of his work.

Not to mention a dab hand with the shotgun. Clapton. Depends what you mean by "idol" doesn't it? I mean Clapton is for most people one of the greatest rock/blues musicians, but does that make him an idol? Perhaps it does, but the readers of NME clearly see things differently.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 12, 2006 I see he hasn't turned up in court today cos he's gallivanting round Germany. I'm surprised they let him get away with it. Comes of being an idol I suppose. There's a concert in Hamburg tonight which would only be an hour from here on the train. I have no other plans for this evening, but I don't think I'll bother. He's performing in Aberdeen on the 22nd. Windsor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pulphack 6 Posted May 17, 2006 only just catching up on this thread, but the thing about idols is interesting as it shows this has nowt to do with talent or influence, just time and place. Clapton - good blues rock man, limited talent (his chordal play was always poor but his lead lines were excellent in cream, for example), but the 'clapton is god' thing, as the first white brit to really nail it and take it beyond, makes him an idol. and he stuck at that thing, more or less. wheras blackmore, mr bhb - better player, more melodic imagination, prone to strops and walking out, now piddles around with hurdy-gurdys... not an idol. i mean, i don't get cobain - but if he was voice of a generation, it was'nt mine as i wasn't fifteen then, why would i get him? what does this have to do with doherty? this: he seems to be a reasonably talented songwriter who caught the zeitgeist with the libertines as much for the way they did things as for the actual playing. his devotion to r'n'r myth-making is what makes him an idol though - living it so hundreds of thousands of vicarious-living fans don't have to kill themselves slowly. in the long-term, for us old gits who're growing old with it, the best rock'n'roll is made by nutters, though - which is why blackmore is better than clapton, and why doherty is ultimately a pretender.

Nicely put and well observed...for a moment I thought I was on NME's website. I couldn't agree more with your observations concerning Blackmore and I think you're right about it all being about time and place...and possibly social climates at the time, which is probably the same thing really. I don't wish to be sycophantic or anything, but that was a great post, Pulphack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
