I did watch it all the way to the end, and I felt like taking a decontamination-level shower afterwards.
I agree with this thread. And nominate Roger Waters to be a part of it.
It honestly would be more difficult for me to come up with a list of 10 musicians I like from the 60s.
Joan Baez. Can’t stand that constant vibrato in her voice. She sounds like a soprano Dalek.
Got any nasty anecdotes about Tommy and Dickie Smothers? If not, two is a good start…
Tommy Smothers has a reputation for being egotistical and overbearing and has gotten on the nerves of more than a few people in the industry. One incident that seems especially noteworthy 43 years later is in 1976 when he ended up on the losing end of a brawl with Bill Cosby at the Playboy Mansion that started when Smothers kept taunting Cosby over the failure of his variety show on ABC.
OK, that made me laugh out loud. You win the internet quote of the day.
I heard it was a sucker-punch, and I also heard that Clint Eastwood told Cosby, “You wanna try that on me?”
Melanie seems sweet.
We watched Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars a while back. It went on about how it was Bruce that caused the most problems in Cream. To outdo Baker really takes effort.
He has 3 daughters and 2 sons. His daughter Scarlet (who was in the wreck you mentioned) and his 2 sons are very obviously (by facial appearance) biologicaly his. Don’t know about the other 2.
I confess I never really cared for the Monkees, the Doors, Blood Sweat & Tears, the Byrds, the Grateful Dead or Jefferson Airplane.
Anything wrong with them personally, or you just don’t like their music?
Incidentally, music-wise, you are right about the first three, wrong about the second three.
Monkees had some great songs. (They may not have written most of them, but they – or whoever – recorded some great stuff. Not interested in getting into the nitty gritty of who wrote and played what, but a lot of “Monkees” work was fantastic, IMHO.)
The Doors, as well. I’m just sick and tired of it through force-feeding from “classic rock” radio stations.
I also love early The Who, but the next time I hear Who’s Next I’m going the jam it up the DJ’s bunghole. The LP, not the CD.
I kind of resent and disrespect the Monkees for being faux-Beatles, but I like hardly any of the music of the groups I named.
So, not to be a nudge or a phoney moderator, but the OP was asking about disliking musicians personally, not whether you liked their music.
I was worried you were gonna reveal that Bob Weir was a secret masturbator, or that Jack Casady shook his naked wiener at little girls in Golden Gate Park, or that Roger McGuinn ordered his steak well-done.
Honestly, I like many more Monkees songs than Doors songs. I think the only Doors songs I really enjoy are “Peace Frog” and “Five To One.”
But, yeah, I’m not sure I have anything really strong against Jim Morrison, as per this thread’s title. I mean, he seems like a pretentious douche to me, but I never met him and don’t know that to be a fact. And with the Monkees, they all seemed rather approachable and pleasant, no?
Never approach a Monkee.
