When I was taking a Guitar class, my teacher said I was the youngest person he had ever met who liked CCR.

When I was taking a Guitar class, my teacher said I was the youngest person he had ever met who liked CCR.I don't have any of their albums, but I don't dislike them in the least. "Fortunate Son" is one of the better anti-war songs they play on the news when they show montages of 1960s protests and "Bad Moon Rising" is the 3rd best 60s song about the moon:laugh:.

Is it just me or do they get a bad rap now? Is it just because John Fogerty didn't die of an overdose or something that CCR aren't allowed into the teenagers-putting-posters-on-the-wall club? Come on people, they were from the Bay Area too, put down that Greatful Dead T-shirt and put a CCR poster on your wall.

[bcbm]

yeah ccr fuckin rules

[redsky]

As one from that era, CCR does indeed abide. Run thru the Jungle and, especially, Who'll stop the Rain are also about the war. One needn't reject the Dead, if they are otherwise to the liking, simply because of Jerry's real bad lifestyle choices. There's a reason all these groups are called classical and it's the same one that marks Beethoven- real art is timeless. Perhaps it's just aging, but with a few pointed exceptions I can't feel that in today's music. I don't know the terms (techno-grind?) but whatever it is that has the artificially generated effects and endless unchanging thumpnoise is a perfect expression and derivative of a corporate machine ethos and mindset. There's a reason meth and similar degeneracy so often fit so well into that scene: different aspects of a new Opiate for the masses.

Again, maybe just years. Fogerty in 04 or so wrote a sequel to the earlier war songs called, I believe, Deja Vu and about Iraq. Art and progressive politics can not only coexist but potentiate each other. That's the real legacy that will still be there when people walk out of range of the pseudofascist endless thump swamp. I hope to be around to see a lot of you on the other side.

Maybe not on the radio.

As opposed to all of those natural effects like fuzz, wah, delay, reverb, tape manipulation, etc. that were so common in the 60s? I hate rockists.

...how?



There's a reason meth and similar degeneracy so often fit so well into that scene: different aspects of a new Opiate for the masses.
:lol: What scene are you even talking about?

Degeneracy? You sound like a priest. Remember how all those hippies are now our bosses?


Art and progressive politics can not only coexist but potentiate each other.
Progressive art and progressive politics potentiate each other. There's nothing progressive about harkening back to a music scene from 50 years ago and expecting a recreation or revival of it to have revolutionary potential. I love a lot of music from the 1960s as I do from many other eras, but it's not the summer of love anymore and it's reactionary and culturally bankrupt to suggest we bask in the supposed glory of bands whose days of creating groundbreaking music have long since past. Take from them what you like and appreciate them for what they are and use that to break new grounds and to make something with revolutionary potential for the world we now live in. The possibilities with sound are limitless, there's no need to restrict ourselves to a fuzzed up guitar and a leslie-speakered organ.

As I am too cyberchallenged to Breakup and quote other posts as everyone seems to do, I'll just go over some comments by Fawkes a bit above.

No, not on the radio. Recently I had occasion to access XM or whatever it is, however, and for a price, as always, you can get almost anything desired.

I substantially agree about distortion, fuzz, wha-wha and the like. Increasing over-reliance of such modes was the beginning of the slide into mechanical device. I am puzzled as to where this entered the discussion. You seem to have called it up and projected it. My point was not so much the exaltation of any era (there was plenty of chaff created in the sixties as in any era), but the trend, mostly via CG beats and effects, away from the immediacy and emotional impact of simply amplified human voices and instruments. Yeah, "degeneracy" was a bit much, I gotta admit. I'll try to keep it a bit loftier. The connection between Thumpnoise and some specific drugs is what I referred to as a scene. While there is certainly no deep and constant correlation, I have seen both in a major urban area and in small towns a greater than random correlation between invocation of this sound and use of some substances such as extasy (sp?) and, yes, meth. I do not blanketly condemn "Drugs" and have done some of my own, but do note such correlations. No, it's not evil incarnate- I'm, uh, definetely no Priest- just ona observed aspect of the society we would, hopefully, transform. The corporate mechanistic image came to me some years ago when MTV (Ithink it was) had a show called, I think, The Grind, featuring a giant, turning gearwheel, like an image out of Metropolis. Fitting, I thought. A hyperindustrial symbol, turning out increasingly interchangeable mass products (computerized noise) for a mass number of consumers. An imperfect, perhaps metaphor for modern corporatism. One of many and not to be singled out but not, by any rational measure, necessarily Progressive or Revolutionary.

I and many participate in music for emotional immediacy and that means that which is indeed timeless. That's what classic means. To invoke an image of being stuck in a fuzztone speaks of one who may be. Art is essentially irrational and cannot ultimately be "progressive" or anything of the sort. Certainly it can be yoked and prostituted (ie Horst Wessel) or made otherwise overtly political, but it's then a function of something else. Works like Ripple and Attics of my Life are not of themselves necessarily Progressive or anything else. They are simply a source of quiet renewal. And I and my friends can substantially reproduce them in my living room. Can the same be said of some disembodied bundle of CG sounds? I would simply suggest that such is also not of itself progressive. And, Friend of the Devil doesn't and doesn't need to pound thru walls and down the streets to assert itself.

I love a lot of 60's music. Probably my favourite band were Love. I'm also into 60's Garage & psych. Original ska, rocksteady and skinhead reggae are big faves too.

But the 2 tunes I've posted are both from The Small Faces who I really rate and should have been so much bigger than what they were.
