I must confess that I have yet to pay a visit to this "shrine" and the more I think about it, the more I really do not want to go and yet I'm a huge fan or Rock and Roll. Does this sound strange? Let me explain. When I first heard that a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was going to be created, I was probably one of the most enthusiastic people on the planet. Finally, I thought, Rock music will get the respect and admiration it deserves. But then I thought about it some more and I quickly reached the conclusion that a "hall of fame" for rock music was something that, while probably inevitable, was also a sure sign that Rock had lost its most valuable and essential quality - rebellion. Think about it, when Rock first gripped the country in the 1950s, middle America wanted nothing more than to suppress and eliminate Rock music. It was the "music of the devil" and it was said to contribute to juvenile delinquency. The idea that there could ever be a "hall of fame" for rock music would have been a colossal joke to any adult or public official of the time. But the youth of the era understood the magic and cultural significance of Rock music. The music belonged to them and what they heard in it was an expression of rebellion against the morals and conformity of their parents and of adults in general. And the performers of Rock music in the 1950s were the messiahs that delivered these messages. Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and their contemporaries represented a new voice in American culture - a voice that hadn't been heard before. In their songs and TV appearances, they articulated a cultural vision of youth, sexuality, and a general disdain for authority. This was a revolutionary cultural challenge to the stifling conformity of the Eisenhower years and the youth of the era heard the rebellious message and answered the call through their purchase of the records. Performers and the audience were in touch with each other and nobody needed a "hall of fame" to legitimize the relevancy of the music and the moment. As Rock music evolved and changed in the 1960s, a similar pattern developed. The Rock musicians of this era and the "counter-culture" that purchased their music formed a new bond of rebellion. Who needed a "hall of fame?" Beatles fans didn't need one, Hendrix fans didn't need one, and certainly Grateful Dead fans didn't need one! The message was in the music, right? Woodstock proved that the youth of the era understood who the famous people were - the Rock musicians were the heroes and nobody needed a "hall of fame" to point that out. It was a cultural communication, rooted in rebellion, that was understood and appreciated by the youth. But now here we are in the 1990s and we have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The music that was once so rebellious and revolutionary now enjoys mass acceptance to the point that it's rebellious roots are being obscured. Baseball, the great American pastime, is the type of cultural phenomenon that needs a Hall of Fame. Rock music was never a great American pastime. It was a music of rebellion and that is what gave it power and significance. The creation of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a sure sign that Rock music has become a victim of its own success. ******************************************** Cooper Collections http://home.gci.net/~coopercollections ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 15:59:38 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: FW: [acg] Hall of Shame >Rock'n'Roll Hall of Shame? >by Rockerjon (June 1997) > >The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been in existence for awhile now >and the time has come for some ponderings and reflections as to the >merits of the place.

In fact I'd probably rate it the best episode of >this season (though I haven't seen one or two yet), and you could throw in >last season too. I'm just really exasperated with "The Simpsons"'s loss of focus. The show has lost all its sense of community and "town-ness." Practically every week, Homer gets transported into some wildly different environment and has wacky misadventures, then comes back home at the end and the incident is forgotten forever. I've also become really irritated with a strange storytelling convention which has evolved -- the first six or seven minutes never matter to the rest of the show! It's like the writers write a 15-minute story, then pad out the beginning with an unrelated "vignette." Know what I mean? The plots have been awfully forgettable lately, but I think I can give one example. I may have some details wrong. In a recent episode, Bart wanted money for a PlayStation-type toy. He got a job passing out flyers for some Thai restaurant, and plastered the neighborhood with flyers. Various little conflicts arose, regarding the job. Several minutes are killed. Then, he treats the family for burgers with his new money, and while at the burger place, Lisa encounters a vegetarian protest and the *real* plot starts: about her getting infatuated with the protest leader. The episode could've started with simply going to the restaurant, but *that* would've required the main story to be expanded further. Most of the episodes in the last year or two have this disjointed "prelude/story" format. Meanwhile, that recent episode where Burns hired Homer to be his "prankster" certainly ranks among the all-time worst. And I'm rushing to the Internet now, to register my discontent. Also: While I liked the joke about the enforcing white balloon simply being *popped*, the "Prisoner" parody was a gimme. Way too easy. It's probably an idea the writers have been putting off for years, because they had better notions to explore first. Now, they're playing all their aces-in-the-hole, because they're out of ideas. Later this season, Homer will probably visit "Fantasy Island," too.

Nope, I had never read this up until a couple of days ago. While I feel it is a shame that Alice, along with numerous others, get overlooked, I have come to realize that it is nothing more than a popularity contest and therefore doesn't really matter in the end. > (I certainly don't have any great fantasies about visiting the Hall of > Fame, either.

Most of the episodes in the last > year or two have this disjointed "prelude/story" format. It's nearly always true that the prelude and the story, as you call them, are thematically related and there are morals intertwining them. In this episode, for example, the needless waste of the paper door hangings from the thai restaurant make way for the tree sit. It's all very closely related. > really hoping "The Simpsons" and "X Files" aren't on television next > year, out of respect for their legacies Well, I'm enjoying the Gould Simpsons quite a bit (though not nearly as much as those bygone O'Brien Simpsons) and think there have been some real gems in the past two seasons. The only thing ALWAYS brings an episode down, in my book, is a celebrity appearance as himself. Huh-boy. (I almost ruled out all celebrity voice appearances, but you just can't do that... I mean, Johnny Cash as Homer's spirit guide was just about the funniest thing ever.) Anyway, I will defend the current Simpsons. I think it's far sharper than the first two seasons and more poignant than it's ever been. As I've said before, there are three things I watch on television: Futurama, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons. I think those are the only shows that bother to try to depict the world as it really is... and it's a kind of irony I can't quite place that they're all essentially cartoons (King of the Hill being furthest from the definition of the word). Actually, a note on King of the Hill that's been playing on my mind: I left the TV on a few weeks ago after The Simpsons and an episode of Malcolm in the Middle played out while Viv and I finished up our dinners and chatted and stuff. That week's episode of King of the Hill contained Bobby's 13th birthday and showed how Bobby was actually small for his age and the neighbor had grown a foot during the summer and began growing facial hair. Now, this was not an incidental character brought in for one episode. This is a regular character who is now a foot taller and gawky. And I was thinking about how when the show started, Bobby Hill was ten. Then on Malcolm in the Middle, I was noting how the youngest boy seems to be playing a character MUCH younger than he is who hasn't aged a bit since last season. So it occured to me that this boy was cast probably a full year before the first episode of Malcolm In the Middle was shot and this was now two years later... and kids grow up really fast. But the show wasn't using that. They had their formula and they weren't going to let some growing up mess with that. And yet King of the Hill, which can ignore aging completely (as The Simpsons does... though sometimes joking about it internally in that self-aware post-modern Simsponsy way) doesn't. I guess I just wanted to point out that it's just yet another way in which King of the Hill is the best depiction of real life on television and probably the best written depiction of same ever serialized. Thank you for indulging my tewsian hyperbole.

Consider, for example, the classic "Brad Goodman" episode, surely one of the best ever (and I'll hit you if you disagree). The trampoline storyline takes up the whole first third of the episode, and only when it plays out does Brad Goodman come in. I always *loved* that aspect of the Simpsons, just because it made for such convoluted, unpredictable story lines. The problem we see now is not the two-storyline structure per se, but that these two-storyline episodes now feature weaker storylines. The Brad Goodman episode, for example, is so densely packed that you feel like it has a full hour's worth of material. And in some of the better Halloween episodes, each of the three stories feels almost like a full episode in itself. Not event the good recent episodes have that feel. I still rate the "Prisoner" episode pretty highly compared to the last couple of seasons -- its weirdness was relevant to the plot, the irony of Homer being kidnapped for "knowing too much" was delightful, and an unusually high percentage of the jokes were actually funny. And the con artist episode may have had its problems, but at least it featured the Springfield Squidport! - --Chris "Call me mint jelly, 'cause I'm on the lam!" --Abraham Simpson ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 17:15:51 -0800 (PST) From: Eclipse Subject: Re: cool christmas tunes > Fegs: > > What are the cool christmas songs that have been done by the little know > musicians we love?
