Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If this is a highlander situation my money is definitely on Goetz.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And that's when Chubby Checker hits you with The Twist.

Bob Dylan probably doesn't have long, lol

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

judging by his recent gigs, he may already be gone

By "recent", you mean the last 50 years?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yeah, i was in austin the same time he was recently. everyone was goggling about going to see him and were you going to go see him? I was like, for the $400 they're asking i can watch a tape. i saw a mid-80s year old buddy guy a few years back and while as a guitar player it was a really technically interesting concert, he hardly played any songs. he mostly imitated other greats who have died and had been influenced by his style. like, cool you can play like stevie and jimi but i came to hear you dude. buddy was only $20 a pop so it was still a great concert. I was not going to risk that at $400 a pop.

"buddy guy" is not the same as Buddy Guy. If you think capitalization isn't useful, here's an example of where it is.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

you understood well enough

[–] trashcroissant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago

That's wild, I could've sworn he was dead already.
