(And yes, I know Matt is fishing for attention...)
It's a funny phenomenon. Not funny ha ha, funny lame.
People that play lame or dumb...but it's on purpose. You know it. They know you know it...but it plays bc people are really dumb on the internet. And plenty of people don't know the poster is playing.
I say go for quality content. (yes my play to Scott was quality)
the people that play dumb are the Meatsauces of the world. Now I'm sure you don't know who that is. A local Radio personality on the KFAN's morning show plays a doofus on the show and the others mock and ridicule him. It's all very juvenile, but in postgame shows, he usual has a lot of good incite on what happened in the game.
His real name is Paul Lambert. but he goes by Meatsauce. and it is IMHO a stupid schtick.
He was named Meatsauce by Mike Morris when the Power Trip was his show. It has never been the same since they fired Morris. Now I call it the Morons in the Morning......but the youngsters seem to eat up their juvenile antics.
How anybody listens to the kfan morning show is something I will never understand. It’s like a bunch of early puberty boys talking.
Only time I listen is to hear Ben Leber after Vikings games and half the time they talk over him about stupid junior high stuff.
Ben "Smartest Guy in the Room" Leber. I say Cove and Sauce are smarter. Hawkey is maybe not dumb, but he's weird and talks too horny.
Hawkey can sure sing and produces one of the top morning shows...he really doesn't need to say too much; just run the ship.
He has an incredible voice.
He's no Warren Zevon.
His voice is every bit as good as Warren's, but Warren is one of the genius songwriters of all time.
You misspelled B-O-B D-Y-L-A-N
Spot on. Zevon had a great album in the 70’s but he wasn’t even ‘one of the greatest songwriters’ in that decade.
If all you know of Warren is his Excitable Boy album than I see how you could hold that belief. However you're missing so much. Do you know his song Don't Let us Get Sick, Mohammed's Radio, Hasten Down the Wind, Desperados under the Eaves, Veracruz, Mutineer, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Play it all Night Long? If you don't you are in no position to judge where he ranks among great song writers. My favorite is Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner.
His songwriting was incredible and often psychotic. That's what made it so great. Off the top of my head the greatest songwriters in pop or rock during my lifetime are Warren, Dylan, Lennon, McCartney, Prince and Jim Steinman. You probably have some others you think were great, but to me that group was head and shoulders above the rest.
