I'd understand Jess getting excited over Nirvana or the Smashing Pumpkins because kids her age actually listened to those bands. Price is more of a gen x/baby boomer thing.

She's been shown to have a deep musical bench. You don't just like music you heard when you were a teenager. Go to your local bar and put Prince in the jukebox, see how many girls get up and dance.

I can't believe we are having talks about whether some one would be excited to meet Prince or not. It would be like meeting Bette Midler. Even if you're not a fan it would be pretty awesome to meet them...not to mention play ping pong with them!

Would it have been weird if she was excited to meet Paul McCartney?

Personally, I'd rather talk to someone making music now than someone who made music fifty years ago. McCartney has been around so long that everything he has to say about his life, his music and his philosophy is available 24 hours a day on Youtube. I'd be much more interested in talking to an Adele or a Ke$ha and learning what they think about the music they're creating now and the music they will create in the future. Prince is a relic. He's kitsch. There's no value in hanging out with him besides the story, and the story doesn't interest me.

Irish Joe posted:Prince is more of a gen x/baby boomer thing. GenX, yes. Baby boomer, definitely not. I'd say peak Prince popularity was 1983 - 1992, when most GenXers were early-to-mid teens and most boomers were in their 30's or 40's. But that still only matters so much, because he's been releasing music steadily ever since. Irish Joe posted:Yeah.

He's kitsch. There's no value in hanging out with him besides the story, and the story doesn't interest me. I realize this is unpopular, but I kind of agree. Specifically the way we fetishize 60's-era pop consumed by baby boomers. I mean, yes, I get it: the Beatles were great. Bob Dylan was great. Let's stop celebrating the youth culture of people now in their 60's and focus on the intervening several decades of pop culture that has happened since. Not that I want to draw a quality comparison between the Beatles and someone like Kesha, but we have certainly depleted every resource from the 60's mine by now. Though, I don't think Prince is remotely a historical relic in the way a McCartney is. Firstly, as has been said, Prince is actually still prolific and innovative today even if he isn't a new artist. And secondly, I don't think Prince was ever like the Beatles within pop culture, in that he never quite "influenced the zeitgeist" in the way his early contemporaries like Michael Jackson or Madonna or even George Michael ever did. He was super popular, but always kind of a strange stylistic outlier that was really difficult to copy or understand. In this way, I view him as more of a pop cultural anomaly, like the Talking Heads or Tom Waits. They're singular performers that just exist in their own insular realities. Basically, Prince is the only Prince, in a way that feels (to me, at least) kind of monolithic and ahistorical. That said, it feels totally realistic to me that both Nick and Jess would have strong attachments to Prince from their youth. They're supposed to be in their early 30's; they'd have been on the young side for him in the 90's, but who actually only listened to new release music when they were in middle and high school?

poo poo, I don't even like the Beatles but if someone said "hey are you coming with me to this part, SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY WILL BE THERE" and I'd be like do I have time to buy all new clothes to wear so that I don't look like a slob in front of him?

TBH ke$ha seems like she'd be more fun at a house party. Sure I'd be thrilled to meet Prince at a party, but can you really party with someone whose persona is Prince's?

Ke$ha (or her public persona, at least) seems like the kind of person who would show up uninvited to a house party with a bunch of her friends (who no one else knows) and proceed to get all sloppy drunk, hit on everyone's boyfriend, throw up in at least three inappropriate places, then pass out on the sofa (possibly after a bout of intense sobbing). Prince seems like the kind of guy who would show up to a house party with a bunch of his body guards (who everyone is afraid of) and stand off in the corner nodding sagely while ignoring absolutely everyone until he calmly just walks out, leaving all the party-goers with the lingering feeling that they've been silently judged and found unworthy. I mean, neither seem like they'd be really fun at a party, but I'd have to go with Prince because at least I would have to steam clean my duvet afterwards.

The former sounds way more fun than the latter (cause you just get sloppy drunk too, problem solved!). I'd find it annoying to be silently judged by some guy in a blouse. v  ve: Also he's a Jehovah's Witness so you know he'd be judging you.

I mean, sure, you're not feeling uncomfortable anymore, but everyone at your party is still standing around awkwardly while you gyrate on top of a table to a song that hasn't been playing for ten minutes, now, and instead of having to worry about finding one person's hidden vomit stashes for the next week you've got to worry about your own, too. Which, I dunno, maybe you're into that, that's cool, whatever.

Shageletic posted:Gross. Why did you ever? I've just plain given up on the forum obsession with Kesha. This is literally the only place I've seen people refer to her as anything but "gross", let alone someone they enjoy seeing and hearing. Also, I don't know who you people are who were born in the 80's and never heard any Prince, his songs were on the radio pretty much constantly at least up until I was in high school.

I remember the video for When Doves Cry and Raspberry Beret being fairly common on MTV/VH1 into the mid-90s and the decline of the music video era.

Ke$ha writes awesome pop/rock music, has a sense of humor about herself, and seems like a genuinely nice person, if maybe a little weird. Why would you not want to hang out with her? I mean, I'm sure meeting Paul McCartney or Prince would be an amazing experience that I would jump at in a heartbeat, but if I actually got to hang out and converse with a famous person, someone closer to my age and time would probably be more fun.

Yeah, see, I think I see the problem, here. I'm not seventeen, anymore. The poo poo you're talking about isn't "having a good time" when you're my age, it's alcoholism. Also, Ke$ha doesn't seem, like, offensive as a person (though I'm really not fond of her music). She just seems aggressively boring. Like, if you're not into getting humorously drunk and acting like a teenager.

Too many people make the mistake of hearing Tick Tock and assumin that's the sum total of Ke$ha.

Too many people make the mistake of hearing Tick Tock and assumin that's the sum total of Ke$ha. Yeah, I just watched an interview with her from Jimmy Kimmel because I do my research, goddammit. Like I said, she seems spacy...not terribly bright...just, like, an average kid at best. That said, that was an interview and not a house party. I did base my estimation of her house party etiquette on her public persona. I think the best that could happen to her is that her career ends and she goes on to live a normal life and doesn't go crazy like Britney Spears. That said, not someone I would choose to hang out with. Doesn't even seem like the most interesting of the current crop of pop stars. At least she's not Robin Thicke, I guess.

Oh my god this poo poo makes me shiver. Thank god I'm not that young anymore. Also, musicians are like people. They mostly suck. Prince though I plain just find fascinating. Read about the stories swirling around him. It reads like some sort of amoral epic or something. Did you know he started a charismatic evangelical cult for a few years, before he got bored?
