No, I’ve never thought that I was gay. And that’s not something you think. It’s something you know.
Old men do it better. We’re not so sensitive in certain areas.
My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
I’m not a guitar player, but I do own a home recording studio.
Some great tips and advice!
There aren’t those categories like “punk” or “goth” that you can assign to people anymore. People aren’t interested in figuring out new categories that they can organize themselves around and that’s very bad for the understanding of rock music. Rock music very much involves a social element of scenes and groups that have some kind of sociological impact or import, and the music is an expression of that. At the same time, the music organizes people to move them through to some kind of new expression. For example, you think of Bob Dylan moving people in one direction, and The Who presenting themselves at that time as reflecting an audience and the crazy impulses and attitudes of the youth of their day. “Indie” is totally meaningless. Now it means “different from jock or frat boys.” It’s a category term which people don’t feel the need anymore to define more clearly, or think about defining. Maybe it’s because that’s not how it’s operating. People aren’t consuming music and it’s not being disseminated by means of those categories and with that type of information preprogrammed into it.
Sounding Off: The Fiery Furnaces’ Matthew Friedberger On Making, Marketing, and Listening to Music
This is only one of many thoughtful points in a long run of comments edited from a series of interviews conducted recently with Matthew Friedberger. Matthew is very invested in the old ways of things — a model of music culture that existed in the late 60s through the late 90s — and though he’s a bit wistful at times about the paradigm shifts over the past decade, he’s not exactly being a cranky old man about it. He’s mostly noting the changes, what has been lost, and wondering if anything at all is being gained by artists or fans. Things now aren’t all bad, but I think he’s right about the diminishing importance of art and the way artist’s choices are becoming increasingly irrelevant to most people.

This guy who was tripping really hard at Bonnaroo tried to eat a glowstick that someone put in his popcorn.
Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
From the bootleg Destroyer- live April 27, 1977 at Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland Ohio
This is a magical live version of this song. Mac’s favorite Zeppelin song!

Bonzo’s Montreux - Led Zeppelin
Drummer John Bonham’s solo, recorded in Sept. 76 in Montreux. Jimmy added the electronic effects later. It wasn’t released until Coda in 1982, after Bonham’s death in 1980.
