The swing revival was just the version of the ska revival for people too cowardly to embrace ska.

I mean it was indicative of how backwards the whole movement was

I don't think the kings of swing imagined lily-white assholes invoking race riots as a hook

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

everyone should read The Big Nowhere which is the book before LA Confidential and is a better book.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Swing revival missed me but I was in ska country, where ska never really let go, and would not let no big band into its lands.

In theory it was great, but it was too mixed with sleaze, irony and whiteness. As an Australian somewhat in the Lindy Hop scene, bugger-all of it is still played now; people prefer the classics (I am guessing the American scene would be the same).

(related - dancing to songs with just bizarre lyrical themes that lindy hop has is a blast)

I have a old roommate who still does swing dancing or whatever the hell it's called now and yeah it's basically all poo poo that came out in our grandparent's day

I think Johnny is around my age and Pulse is a few years younger and I absolutely did not remember the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Zoot Suit Riot from my childhood, it was something I discovered and laughed at much later.

Tony was in his mid 40s at the time so it makes sense he'd remember
That or not really knowing Issac Hayes, but honestly that's kind of more forgivable since he is mostly known as Chef

Will say having recorded 4 episodes of a mostly AEW podcast I can see why Deadlock dropped Rampage reviews because my cohosts were all kind of blah on it's importance; I'm in the minority though, but probably going to drop it as well.

Also speaking of recording the podcast and lol that zencaster ended early in the middle of the Dynamite review (we were just talking about Kingston and Jericho) so going to be fun Frankensteining two recordings
Also our guest came in just as we started the Dynamite review so we got to have someone do a run in for our podcast lol (which was fine since he watched Dynamite with us on Zoom but had to drive out afterwards so came in 40 mins in our recording out of nowhere) Any leftists are allowed on the zoom call btw and if you want to just guest on the pod afterward that's fine too lol

I'm imagining Dave explaining Wordle

So you, um, you *cough* you have to guess a word right? But it's a different, um, word every day. They're always just you know five letters. Like yesterday *shuffles papers* was DROVE and um the day before that was *cough* COUGH.

Be warned (or excited I guess if you like it) that Sempervive has another one of his constantly talking over Bryan and losing his breath as he tries desperately to score a point on him but seems to have forgotten what his point actually was tirades today on WOL.
