I doubt it, certainly not in America, wont get airplay, not much chance over here either. I cant see the major label changing them much. The new album still has all their political views, and they havent been asked ( yet ) to tone it down.

I'm afraid that the music industry never works on the quality of music - it works on how marketable the band / individual are. To the extent where the majority of songs which get into the charts aren't even written by the performers. Imagine would probably never have been heard by anyone except John's closest friends if he hadn't already been one of the most popular performers in the Western world - that occurred because he and the Beatles found themselves an excellent manager in their early days, who shaped the band into a marketable commodity.

 

Personally, I have no desire to become famous, and most of the people who write the songs I know do it as an act of service for their communities - they do not wish to make money from their songs, but wish to share them, and do so by making them "copy-left".

 

>they are sitting on a million dollars>and we need more songs like Imagine.

 

Then just go along to peace activist gatherings, and listen out :-)

 

>by the way, if this guy Tony Clarskin was writing

>how come I've never heard of him?

 

Because the Beatles had a far better manager than Magnum. There are many bands you've probably never heard of, doesn't mean that they aren't any good - it just means that they don't get played on the radio... When I worked in a recording studio I used to record a guy called "Paco".... every time he released a new album, he'd sell over quarter of a million in the first weekend of release, but because he did it all himself, and wasn't connected to a major record label, he's never been played on the radio, and you've almost certainly never heard of him. A few years back, the new Dream Theater album sold out in the entirity of the UK within 4 hours of release, while the number one album of the week still had hundreds of copies sat in the shelves - yet DT never even got into the top 200... and you've probably never heard of them either.

 

Sadly, the music industry doesn't work on what people want to hear, it works on who the music industry can make the most money from, and then these tracks flood the radio stations so that they are all most people get to hear... and what makes most money is people who will do whatever the record companies tell them to do - not people who are politically active, and write protest songs....

Hi Anouk

 

Hey, are you calling me a lump?

just kidding!

 

I never heard that one, but I like it. The two that I know from the

bible along the same lines is:

 

Look into thine own heart and be true

 

and

 

Judge not least ye be judged yourself

 

But I do understand what you are saying.

 

I have no issues with Lennon and I do like the song Imagine. I just

do not think as much of him as others do. Which is no big deal.

 

My issue was the tearing apart going on and the statements that he

did things he did not. But that is all gone now because I am no

longer reading all of the lonnnnggg posts. LOL

 

Thx Anouk!

[Guest guest]

hi peter,

 

what I understood from that quote is

that people should look around them first

before commenting on other people.

 

this is something I am trying to do. Instrospection,

admiting when I am wrong, etc.

 

It has been a long time, since I read the bible,

that would explain why I didn't get the quote perfect.

 

but that is one, i remember that I like, it is similar to

Pot calling the kettle Black.

hi peter, it was colin that saidthat John Lennon was "the voice of many people"That still is not idolizing. what I understood from that is that JL had access to a microphone. acess to the media.and said what was already in the minds of many people. common people on the street could not go on Television shows and voice their opinion. It is no different from Cindy Shehaan being the "voice" of many, many mothers. and does not mean that people do not have their own unique voice as well. Just a matter of access to the media. , "Peter Kebbell" <metalscarabwrote:>> Hi Michael> > >I'm not at all sure that idolisation is what anyone was discussing.> > I've heard phrases like "Lennon was my voice".

hi michael, I'd be curious to know how many of us were vegetariansback in the 1970's certainly it was much harder. I am one of the rare onesand was born a vegetarianin that sense I have never tasted meat or fish. however, I know for sure that itwas damn hard, my mom and I walked for milestrying to find a health food storewhen I was a kid. and when they feed me soya milk it tasted gross. back then, it tasted nothing like it does today. so who are we to judge someone for not being vegetarian in the 1970's?Vegetarianism/veganism is something that is progressing with people'sgrowing awareness everyday.any naturally evolving person would reach it, and it's ok to stumble. , "Michael Benis" <michaelbeniswrote:>> He was never really big on vegetarianism ever and never claimed to be.> > His most dangerous drug part from heroin was booze and he largelystopped> it. > > Learning and changing doesn't mean becoming perfect.> > > > > On> Behalf Of jo> 08 June 2006 20:45> > Re: Re: John Lennon, my Inspiration> > He didn't learn though.

Hi Jo

As do Judas Priest... who always wear pleather on stage... I'll never forget the rather amusing incident where PETA made such a big thing about Judas Priest and leather, and got a rather stern letter from Glenn Tipton telling them they should check their facts before casting aspurtions! :-)

These are perfectly valid quotes, but since I've never cheated on anyone, I don't quite see how they relate to me commenting on someone else who has!

Maybe it's not a matter of "cheating" on someone.

 

Maybe it's a matter of a wider perspective - an insightful, detailed and compassionate perspective - in this case about troubles in a relationship.

 

Maybe it's a matter of judgement.

How very magnanimous of you - I would think that it was just me, but since at least three other people have e-mailed me off list complaining that they're getting fed up with seeing you constantly attacking, and won't I please do something about it, I am confident that it is not merely my perception.

 

 

What I would point out is, that as list owner, I do have a responsibility to the list to stop people dragging the tone of the conversation to the level that you have repeatedly done over the past few days, and I am therefore required to make judgements. I am not prepared to put up with your snide, condescending and immature behaviour any longer. If you can't contribute to the list without taking every opportunity to attack other members, then please do not contribute at all.

 

I apologise to the rest of the list for allowing this to go on so long, and I assure everyone that normal service will now be resumed.

Could not compassion also be given to the person who has been the victim of cheating? rather than the one who caused the hurt.

 

I am aware that people may fall out of love with another person. If that is the case they should end their relationship with them, before starting a relationship with someone else. It seems quite simple to me.

 

So, my judgement is that people shouldn't cheat on other people.

I can understand what you are saying.

I'm with you on that one... although the album was actually a prequel to the track, and I think it was actually at the end of the 20th century (I know it doesn't seem that long ago, but they've done 4 albums since!) :-)

 

 

Although of other concept albums I do rather like Tobias Sammet's Avantasia albums, and Gary Hughes' Once & Future King albums....

I'm with you on that one... although the album was actually a prequel to the track, and I think it was actually at the end of the 20th century (I know it doesn't seem that long ago, but they've done 4 albums since!) :-)

 

Although of other concept albums I do rather like Tobias Sammet's Avantasia albums, and Gary Hughes' Once & Future King albums....

Hi Jo

 

>The other albums you mention are excellent - can I borrow them again sometime :-)

 

You mean you don't have any illicit copies of them anywhere? That's rather remiss!
