IanHenry Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I find some of Rick Beato's YouTube video's informative & entertaining but I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this one. He's commenting on some bloke who believes history will look upon Paul Simon as a musical nonentity! Paul is one of the twentieth century's greatest songwriters and has got to be viewed in the same company as Dylan and Lennon & McCartney. https://youtu.be/qoHC8K7mj9c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This guy Jeff Slate (who wrote the 'NBC-News-Think" bit on Paul Simon) is a nitwit. A disrespectful dirt-bag. A typical New York City elitist jackass. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 200 years time. Is this something we need to bother to think about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I won’t bother to watch the video of this guy. Who nobody will remember in 20 minutes, let alone 200 years. Paul Simon is unbelievably underrated. He is a Grand Master Tunesmith. His Works with Art Garfunkel are Musical Masterpieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Beato himself drops the ball when mentioning some of the "great" songs Bob Dylan wrote, mentioning only the low hanging fruit of "Blowing In The Wind" and "Like A Rolling Stone". And too that someone respected Simon's work to the point he was awarded the first ever Library Of Congress GERSHWIN award for songwriting. And even 56 years later, this Bob Dylan gem is STILL relevant.: And if nothing really changes in this country, will still be relevant 200 years from now. Beato should have mentioned IT. Simon too, as are Dylan, Mitchell and even HANK WILLIAMS are natural poets who had the good sense to put their poetic thoughts to music that will way outlast anything Slate has written and will ever write.

Apologies if I got it backwards... Thumbs up, if he’s defending him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Personally, I liked more of the songs Simon wrote while still with Art than when he went solo. But please, don't(like others I know) misunderstand what's meant by that. Paul Simon is still a vary skilled and prolific songwriter. And here he is with who I think is a terribly underrated songwriter........ And turnabout is fair play.... Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a music graduate you should not need this. That is not learning IMO as you have not thought out, analysed, understood, written down and edited your own ideas . "I will be sure that it will be unique. " No it won't as it is not by you. I got a 404 from your link btw. We get quite a lot of posts like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Yeah, jdgm.... That link gave me a 401 too. And maybe he that posted it knew that and it's why he'll be sure his paper will be unique because we can't access any source he claims to use. He could copy it verbatim and we'll never know.

jdgm Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 No it's a troll IMO and I was taken in. I doubt if he/she is a music graduate at all - perhaps a MMA teacher... But I'm just this insignificant dude who dares to speak negatively. 🎸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenielSetuplet Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) For me, Paul Simon is one of the best musicians. I started to get involved in his music literally from the moment I first went to school. I am a graduate of the music department and want to devote my coursework to Paul's work. With the help of https://edubirdie.com/complete-coursework-for-me I will receive et high-quality paper without plagiarism and I will be sure that it will be unique. I have no idea how this insignificant dude dared to speak negatively towards Paul! Apparently, he himself did not achieve anything and only knows how to criticize others.

But on these clips the stand out is George.... I know John Lennon is considered the 'soul' of The Beatles, and Paul the musical genius....but George is a serious songwriter on par with John, and his musical ability on par with Paul.... truly the one who brought the band together. Just watch him with The Traveling Willburys..... I mean he's there with some TRULY heavyweights, (no less that the greatest songwriter of our generation (Bob Dylan) and the greatest singer of Rock - Even Elvis refused to appear with him, (Roy Orbison), yet he was a complete standout with that group! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
