onewilyfool Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Subject: Complete & Finished No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words 'complete' and 'finished' in a way that's so easy to understand: Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED but, there is an explanation!!!!!! When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE.... And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED..... And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ... COMPLETELY FINISHED! End of story Amen
Rambler Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Everyone knows its done once you cut the record. If you's like the Stones or the Beatles. If you are the Dead, its a starting point of the conversation. And if you are Rev, Davis or Lightnin' Hopkins, its what you are doing right here on the the spot.
jedzep Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds like one wily fool. If you need a place to stash your guitars before the divorce I'm just outside of Cooperstown.
E-minor7 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I've heard some people compare it to a nite of burrrrning love – You just know when it's over. Okay, not a bad statement. When is a song, a f.x. painting finished/complete (here understood as the same thing). My take - When it whispers back at you : Thank you for the attention, I'm full. But let me add – finishing a piece of artistic work doesn't follow the same rules as the doctor's, the plumber's, the gardener's or so. When closing a piece of art there must remain a series of holes, cracks, blind or open ends. The piece may reach it's relative conclusion yes, but cannot be locked into a final fixation by some 1-dimensional answer. It's not an appendicitis operation, a system of tubes below the sink'n'shower or a series of trees to chop. Neither it is a cross word or jigsaw puzzle. The song/painting/play etc. got to remain somewhat open and able to breathe. Though the concrete experience is behind and the curtain is down, it must under no circumstance could be declared over, dead or left dying.

In all my years of being around the hacks that like to write songs, maybe one or two pulled it off. The great songwriters have all laid their work out and the good stuff is easily distinguishable. We all listen, play and try to emulate. Almost all of us fail. I'm just happy to copy the great songs...maybe personalize a bit. What a musical renaissance we baby boomers grew up in!
