It's crazy that all these Taylor Swift fans get to gather in one place



I'd fear for my life tbh

That's so much hyper fame, and in the other hand, her artistic footprint leaves me cold.

At least she seems to be a decent person all around and she writes her own songs and plays her own instruments. Could be a lot worst as far as role model goes, which I especially like since my daughter is a pretty big fan of hers

Forgot how awesome this band is

 

[rik schau]

The two things I mostly remember about these guys are how they came up with their band name and sadly, how they got swindled by their manager.

They have no connection whatsoever to Bay City, Michigan. They literally threw a dart on a map, that landed on Bay City.

Was the manager a Molson by any chance? This Molson seems to be swindling the public pretty good.lol
Such a creative method.lol

It's crazy to me that you can get so many people in one vicinity with such atrocious taste in music.lol

Yeah I knew about native hawaiians’ love affair with SPAM. It doesn’t make it a recommendable part of a balanced and healthy diet

It's dam delicious! tops the healthy Quebec cuisine of poutine,dogs and smoked meat

 

[angusyoung]

That was an incredibly moving performance. Love it

Indeed! easy to see why it has gone viral, odd none had posted it sooner
Here it is again for those that should experience it.





From one of the great performances ever to a contender for the worst

 

[angusyoung]

She kind of reminds me of someone

RIP Karl Tremblay

Deeply saddened to learn that Les Cowboys Fringuants' singer died today after a long battle against prostate cancer. He was only 47. That scares the living shit out of me. Way too young to die.

Sad day for the province.

I’ve heard this song forever but not this version.

This was taken from a live show in 1957. It was written as a satire piece about a Neapolitan trying too hard to be an American but failing at it as the song reminds him that his identity as a native Italian can’t be overcome. The Italian language being sung is a Neapolitan dialect. I’ve lived and studied in Italy and have been to Napoli and southern towns where they speak this dialect still.

About ten years ago, when I was visiting Naples, I remember hearing kids on the street speaking it.

The song coincided with the massive flow of Italian immigration to North America during the 50s and which continued into the late 60s. Most of them were fleeing poverty and originated from southern Italy. They were in search of a new life and this song appropriately speaks to their identity and what they were leaving behind.

 

[Runner77]

So damn catchy.

If you want to delve further into that Neapolitan dialect, try this guy. He was and is still huge in Italy and known internationally — sadly passed away young. He played with some of jazz’s greats.

Criss ça fait mal celle là. Le groupe de ma génération. f***

That sux. Saw them a dozen times, always my favorite shows. Karl was a good one.

Sad hes leaving while the province looks like this.

Yeah, let's talk about Hanna Montana, her cute sitcom was nice to watch in family, and later the sexual explicit when she became adult. Not a great taste and not a great use of her fame exposure. Art for the beauty and the creativity should be #1 priority. Lady Gaga was provocative but she was interresting artistic point of view.
