it must have been mate, I've removed the post of the youtube clip clip now - pathetic ****ers whoever done it!

Sad but true

Yeah, the test is whether people will love it in 30 or 40 year's time.

It's hard to know what will age well.

I think Eminem will always be popular, his early stuff particularly. There will always be disaffected and angry young rap fans who his stuff resonates with and love him or loath him there's no denying he's one of a kind.

Really interesting post Smug, I reckon it’s a generational thing and we coffin dodgers are not fully aware of the influence musicians such as REM, Green Day, Louis Capaldi, Gerry Cinnamon etc. have on the current generation(s). I only mention these artists because that's who my kids are into, I must admit a like them all especially Gerry Cinnamon

It’s similar to Dylan and his early influences; Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Dave Van Ronk, Rick Von Schmidt, Pete Seeger etc. They tried to own and use Dylan but he had already moved on (Listen to the words of Maggies Farm and Positively 4th Street). When he did his second set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, Pete Seeger ran around with an axe trying to cut the electric cables and Dylan was booed off the stage.

Pete Seeger (a real gentleman by the way) felt let down by Bob who he championed very early on, as going electric was frowned upon by the old Folkies, slow or resistent to inevitable change maybe, but understandable at the time. Personally I have never much got into folk music, it was not me who shouted out Judas , but they had a point.
Good post by the way.

Can you not ask @Gordon Armstrong to check the ip address?

Stinks that like. Make his name public, and I’ll get our new owners to flog him in the Bigg Market.
Oh.........

Sorry to read his daughter got targeted by a dickhead.

I very much doubt they would use their actual ip, they would have probably gone through a proxy. This site for similar reasons wouldn't give you a match. Not unless they used an ip in outer *****lia. Always possible but highly unlikely.

For what I remember of youtube, if they didn't use a proxy, the ip they used would also indicate where the persons location was or you could just quite simply run it through an ip checker, which would be free to use online.

I do constantly remind people, never put personal information up on the site, there will always be a spanner somewhere, that will misuse your information. To which I will add, people don't have to sign up to the site, to read it, all it means is they wouldn't see images.

Not much help I'm afraid

Thanks mate, I should know better as an ex mod (paradiddles) on this site in regards personal info/post etc. My daughter deleted the comments from her media page. I just was quite surprised that someone took the effort to be a dickhead.

That's about right mate.

Trouble was Pete Seeger believed too much that Dylan needed him to progress which was never the case.

Instead of attracting people to folk, Dylan used it then left it behind.

Good shout tbf.

He has the knack of being serious and funny at the same time ...

... some of his songs are truly inventive, unique and probably classics.

Pete Seeger saw Dylan as a combatant in the Civil Rights Movement and the Cuban crisis, but Dylan wasn't interested in politics. He used the folk scene to get a foothold in the music business then distanced himself from them.
