Discovering Music (c)
By Michael Casey
I entered a random search on Spotify, Pio,
and I'm amazed by what I'm hearing. First was The Maccabees and Marks
to Prove It, now I'm listening to Interpol and Our Love to Admire, both
are really excellent. I won't go down the track list grooving away as I
listen to each song. It just proves new things can be discovered, even
by random means. And why did I enter Pio? Well because I was thinking
about Padre Pio, I'm in a lot of pain this morning so I thought I could
emphasise with him.
There's
a peaceful piano piece playing now, and it's not from my neighbour next
door, nor have my daughters decided to play the piano beside me, so
I've stumbled my way into something nice, and if you remembered the
story yesterday, Mark Harris said I was a good stumbler.
If I mention his name ever again in a story then you'll all have to buy
him free Stella Artois for life, but don't forget the Walkers cheese
and onion crisps, he does have standards after all, unlike me, what you
see is what you get.
So
why is music is so special? I am tempted to share the obvious joke
about the Jewish drummer being so good at the rhythm method being made
an honorary catholic. But you can ignore that sentence if you have no
Jewish nor Catholic friends, or if you have 2 left feet, or are tone deaf, or just deaf, or have no sense of humour or are too PC. Or are a Politician not knowing which way to jump.
Politicians should be good with music as they try and march to the beat of history. Led Zepplin
would have been great Politicians but their fans would be too drunk to
do any marching or following. The Germans in the 1930s just loved a good
tune and marching, and see how that turned out.Now we have the cheese
eater in North Korea and his people just love to march, but they are
marching to stay alive, not for fun. Back in the West we have Trump's
inauguration .
Nobody wants to sing for Trump, though Putin has offered to sing for him, he'll even roll over and let Trump rub his belly, Pavlov dog if you like, but who would be the real master? The Russian State Singers and Dancers might . Perhaps we'll have the Russian Ballet come too, or the North Korean ensemble could come too. An international peace and reconciliation inauguration, Trump could say it was all part of his plan.
What
will the music be like? Martial, Loud and Proud, a bit like a Friday
night in a gay bar, but not half as much fun, no Abba, no fun. There's a
thought perhaps Abba should be asked to perform, everybody loves Abba
after all. Abba for Trump's inauguration, we could start a hashtag.
Though somehow I think they would not turn up. So a Tribute band will
have to do, these tribute bands can be really really good. I saw the
conterfeit Stones once at the Alex in Birmingham, now they were
excellent.
So together we have sorted out
Trump's inauguration show. It will be a series of tribute bands from
Vegas, the National Mall is so big that nobody will spot the difference.
As for Trump he may have a stand in for himself, he's not going to
stand around in the cold, he may even stay home in NY while everything
else goes on in DC. Mike Pence can catch a cold, or Donald may just play
video games with Barron, then just dash out for the oath. Or he may
just pay Alec Baldwin to do the whole show, 1,400 dollars is cheap
price to pay then he can have some precious time with Barron.
So
I hope you will all try Pio as a Spotify search, you could read about
Padre Pio too, the music is really good, and all new to me, but best of
all together we have sorted out the Music for Trump's Inauguration. See I
am a really good stumbler, will somebody please buy Mark Harris a pint
of Stella Artois, he's singing Abba songs again, I'm off to my Waterloo.
