What is the difference between Beatles, Stones etc, and Minstrelry? Minstrels never convinced anybody they were black, either. Leroi Jones
Literally everything I've ever said online about Stevie Ray Vaughn is contained in two posts. You can read them and the comments and see that Simps is lying about what I said.
He apparently doesn't realize that Mick Jagger was notorious for copying black (and white) musicians well after they released their first album, which is pretty funny considering he's supposed to be a pop music expert. Simps really never did master the idea of how time works. Apparently he figures Mick and his old stones never did anything but repeat their first album, over and over again. As the article at the link shows, they stole lots of stuff after that.
Update: Hey, if he keeps it up at this rate, the lies he's dropped on me are going to outnumber the names he's dropped. He's the worst name dropper I've ever seen.
"The Rolling Stones are a pale imitation of the real thing. I prefer the real thing. And they're pale imitations of Stevie Ray Vaughan, too."
ReplyDeleteReally, Sparkles? The Stones made their first recordings in 1963. Stevie Ray made his first recordings twenty years later.
And I'm the one who doesn't know how time works?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupy, you are seriously mentally disabled. Even with me pointing you to the problem of your assertion, that Mick and his old stones were stealing from people well after 1963 and that Vaughn is part of the blues tradition that they imitated after you claimed that the Rolling Stones were the greatest white blues band, you still say the same stupid thing.
DeleteI am not sure if you lost something or if you've always been this stupid, in your field, scribbling and dribbling about pop music who could tell, but you just don't have it.
Geezers are able to copy the work of younger people, If Mick and his old stones had stopped recording and touring BEFORE Stevie Ray Vaughn started, then your claim might work, but not only did they not stop BEFORE then, they're still at it AFTER STEVIE RAY VAUGHN DIED 27 YEARS AGO.
Stevie Ray Vaughn was, in every way, a superior musician to Mick and his old stones, respected by other blues musicians, even those who were far older than he was.
I like the Allman Brothers.
ReplyDeleteNone of this would have happened if Simels hadn't thought he was taunting me with absurd claim that the Rolling Stones were the greatest white blues band in history. I couldn't let that go unchallenged.

ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely insane. Seriously -- that is the most psychotic thing I've ever read that wasn't written or uttered by Charles Manson.
So you don't get the before-after relationship. If we keep this up maybe the parameters of your disability will come into focus.
DeleteI really am beginning to think I should stop responding to you, Simps, it's ever more obvious that you are well into dementia.
I just hate qualifiers like "white." Calling Daryl Hall a "blue-eyed soul singer" is as condescending and racist as saying Robert McFerrin was a good "brown-eyed opera singer."
ReplyDeleteThe Rolling Stones are not a blues band. They're a rock band. I don't know when that became pejorative. Now Yoko Ono, there's a "blues" singer who should be embarrassed.
It becomes important through the racism that pervades the culture and leads to things like black musicians getting their work ripped off by white ones.
DeleteMusically and artistically it doesn't matter, politically and financially and as a matter of justice, it's very important.
But that's a legal and financial issue, and in that context, absolutely. But diminishing someone's accomplishments for singing or playing "white" R&B is as stupid as calling Charley Pride "black" country. Those terms don't exist in most contexts today except to dismiss a performer.
DeleteAs Daryl Hall said, "I'm playing the music I've listened to and performed my entire life. I'm not appropriating anything." He plays R&B, good or bad is a matter of taste, but to try to qualify it as "blue-eyed" is just dumb and wrong. Music is one of the best ways to break down racial barriers, but using monikers like that just raises them up again.
