This from the man who once said that he spent the seventies "listening to radio stations that played what you would today call Americana". You know how I remember those things, Dave.

About 35 years ago I listened to artists like Steven Fromholtz, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Alvin Crow etc. Still do listen to some of the old songs from then. I don't listen to any current stuff played on Americana stations, haven't for 20 years. Most of the newer Americana sounds to me like country that got corrupted by shoegazers.

what's a shoegazer?

Wait for it...


The answer is probably going to be a curmudgeonly response about some young emo punk who just heard his first Merle Haggard song, and decides that he now knows what country music is all about.

Now, this is real country...  heh-heh....   ;D

Shoegazer music was that depressing rock played by depressing bands like Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine. Dreadful.

Oh...guess that's stuff I'm too old to have heard, much less care about. Always used to think that about Jackson Browne...like why is this guy whining at me about his lovelife...

Of course, if there was a funky groove, the music may have redeeming social qualities...

One of the band members on the bus in that scene (the guy wearing glasses) was a part-time actor that I used to work with at Arthur Andersen.  His name was Russ Bruzek.

Back in the summer of '72 is when I really started to take notice of a lot of music.  I'd always heard my older sisters 45's from the 60's but I really dug a lot of the late 60's and early 70's stuff.  I heard this the other day and it took me back.  A Dutch band no less!  :mrgreen:

That Blues Bros quote has to be the funniest one-liner...

Me too! I don't listen to it all the time anymore, but I still give it a spin when the mood strikes.

Nice one Dave! But I do love the Cure, Peter Murphy, Siouxsie, Cocteau Twins..... Anyone remember the band Lush?

Wait a minute, weren't we talking about KISS?  :P

I will admit to liking Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Some people thought of them as shoegazers.

You're right, though, time to get back to talking about Kiss. There just aren't enough Kiss threads here.
