Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You went #1 for the first time this year. 25 years after it was released. Wow.

She’s one #1 away from the Beatles, iirc

A more powerful version even.

Calling her a female Prince might be a bit unfair, but I think it's a nice way to describe this. Can't believe I didn't know her name before today.

Keith Richards is 76 today.

If you've got good eyes, you can see me in the crowd when he moves off to the left of the stage during his solo.

Watch Steve Jordan practically fall off the drumkit laughing when Keith botches a chord.

And "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is really just a song about demanding figgy pudding with increasing hostility.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

A Twisted Christmas. That is all you need to know. :D
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

How powerfully does the message of this song (from 1998) resonate today?

Some very smart literary references in the lyrics:

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
"So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists"

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas but not with real intent

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next, yeah will be next

And on the street tonight
An old man plays with newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

I can't imagine that'll be an expensive show. Both good acts, but they're not exactly top billing these days.

Yeah but do tickets ever go down? Once acts get into the nostalgia racket the Olds have more money.

The one exception is when the wheels come off entirely and you see a former stadium rock act at a county fair or worse.

A now defunct annual festival, the Taste of Minnesota, had the Doobie Brothers playing to a few dozen people on a minor stage for free while one-hit-wonder Paula Cole ("Where Have all the Cowboys Gone") was playing the main stage to thousands. It was a dark time for music.
