Keidis from my 20 somethings in The 90s carries a tiny place in my heart but there is no comparison between he and Mike Patten in either musical, conceptual or lyrical ability.
Have seem Faith several times and Pattten in some insane band of his creation when they opened for one of my all time favorite bands Tool im the 2000s.
The win everyday of the week goes to Patten.
Nowhere near as popular over the years as the Pepper's. And that has me reflecting on my old best friends wife's comments. Very intelligent concery oboeist married to my braindead lifelong proud theif of an old buddy.
She, in the same conversation with me launched an argument that Doug Flutie, like Michael Jordam should have been banned from their respective leagues for being so much better than than others.
Um, I know where she was coming from and it's a very ugly and contradictory place. Contradictory for her especially for her constant calls to me asking me to come over and see her cuz I was light-years smarter than my buddy and she deserves that roll in ze hay.
Along the same line of thinking she did more than suggest that classical orchestras, symphonies and whatnot absolutely deserve taxpayer public funding because the general public, the masses are too bourgeois and dumb to understand its significance to financially support them.
A lot I could say on that.
While I reject her solution out of hand your post about Keidis and Patten has me reflecting on the dumbing down thought.
Thanks.
