“All in Love Is Fair”
You’ll have to go about 1:25 into this clip to experience this influential ballad on the theme songs of ’80s Jerry Bruckheimer films and all the overwrought ballads that we cut up on when watching shows like the GRAMMYS. This song blows. If you want to see just how bad it is at its core, compute the minor drop off with this version and nightmarish vision:
Thanks for the post, Mr mod. Now that you have gotten that out of the way, can you now do what you promised Chickenfrank and I? We’re waiting! Tick, tock, dude!
Mr. Mod, when you are right, you are right!
BUT…
Still I think a game misconduct must be assessed. What’s that thought that the thread equivalent of jumping a shark is when a comparison to Hitler is made? Marshalling Cher onto your side of the battle is not fair fighting. I suspect we could gain universal support that “Satisfaction” sucked if we had a performance by the erstwhile Mrs. Allman
I always thought “Visions” and “All in Love” were fairly forgettable, but I always sort of liked “Golden Lady.” But I think you have a point: there is something fussy about that song, and for all its modulations, it doesn’t really go anywhere.
I don’t mind Golden Lady either, dr john. This is the only Stevie Wonder album I have, mainly because while I think the good stuff is amazingly good, I don’t like the bad stuff at all; though Golden Lady certainly isn’t bad. It’s just mediocre and too long. I think for me the slow stuff is just sleepy and dull. It puts me to sleep like late night reruns of King of Queens.
Speaking of black folks, what say my Pennsy Peeps about your governor’s confident assertion that you’re all a buncha inbred racists?
Well, As James Carville has said before, with the exception of Pittsubugh and Philly, Pennsylvania is essentially the same as Alabama
