"She will never learn the most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time, because from childhood she has designedly cultivated the habit of ignoring the beat." Letter to Leopold Mozart (24 October 1777)
Genesis’ song No Son Of Mine modern tempo map illustrates how speed and music interact
The song Supper’s Ready by Genesis was written by bandleader Peter Gabriel during a manic episode. The rest of the band, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, MIke Rutherford, Steve Hackett filled out the rest of the parts.
Afterglow is a song written by Tony Banks of Genesis and usually performed between 62-69 beats per minute.
Seems to me that songs I don’t fall in love with *right away*, but rather grow on me over a year or two, become my favorites.
I was lucky enough to see and hear the fantastic Jeff Lynne with *his* E.L.O. in Philadelphia last month.

When the band played this in my wife’s home town of Philadelphia last month, SHOWDOWN was unexpectedly the song I enjoyed the most.

Peter Gabriel wrote a song in 1978. It used an English phrase not often heard in the United States.
That said, we here it more and more, don’t we?

I’m not even saying this ought to have been classified in the first place. What happened when WordPress became very popular I had no choice. Most of my measure meant have been in the public domain since 1992, so I did not think that when I had a brain aneurysm at the same time WordPress got so huge their “customer service” became that of, well, it is what it is.

This hit from John Lennon was heard on the Miami Vice episode, When Irish Eyes Are Crying, which aired on September 26, 1986. Miami Vice will always be one of my all time favorite shows. It was the first to combine MTV with police action drama.

Roger Waters Is A Modern Genius of Popular Music – nowhere better does video meet music as in ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART TWO
Roger Waters Is A Modern Genius of Popular Music – nowhere better does video meet music as in ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART TWO.

Johnny Cash said it best, “If people knew I was listening to this Pink Floyd, well, they’d figure it was a publicity stunt. So I kept it to myself. Thing is where they and I are the same is standing up for what is morally right, and if it’s part of the system, great, if not, all I’m saying is, maybe we should look at a different way to do this.”
The Wall by Pink Floyd took U.K. music to the end of the earth and beyond culture by absolute storm in the late 1970s.
“In Roger Waters’ most famous song, Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, the teenagers of that time found a voice in: realizing we had no voice,” opined [personal]. In the suffering of Bob Geldoff, who played the protagonist in the film, we feel the helpless of being born into a world where culture has already driven society so mad you are literally born onto a car racing off a cliff. No one captured that better than Floyd” said Jim Jobim, former roadie for the band. “What blew me away were the stars in sunglasses with back stage passes back then – people like Dan Rather, regular, if you can call them that, famous people who we let in on the basis of their fame. The Don’t say a word rule is still on effect. Of course Dan Rather never saw Pink Floyd – to my knowledge. Just saying, that kind of unexpected celebrity wanting to know what this new Wall was about.
“our Generation was called X because we stood for nothing at all because as the Floyd video shows, we were cogs in a machine. Never has anything been as artistically relevant, video-music wise, as Pink Floyd’s Brick. Not their *best* song, but their most powerful, the one they are known for more than any.”
