Hi there preacher!

Now, that is something that only a truly ignorant and genuine idiot would try to attempt. Personally I go to the “Electric church” regularly, so that won’t ever happen (all this of course when I'm not too busy fighting vermin from the eternal horde of hip-hop!). Besides, it would be too easy to just slaughter and totally rip apart any idiot that tries too. After all, we are talking of the man who among other things ended up being the highest paid artist in the world back in the day (including people like Mr Presley and Sinatra). I kind of find it hard to believe that such circumstances were entirely created by mere chance, if you know what I mean.


As for shallow, I would like to nominate my personal favorites in that category, the big four: Kylie Minogue, Madonna, JLO and good ‘ol Jacko (Hehe! How the hell can anyone take that little black, then turned white, transvestite seriously! He is as real as Mickey mouse!). I know that considering these four as “bands” is stretching it, but they sure are shallow in the strict musical sense. However, other perhaps more appropriate nominees are the old kraut-rockers who turned super synthetic; “Kraftwerk” who made it into some kind of sport of being as shallow as can be. Another band that comes to mind is the Swedish duo; Roxette (famous during the 90’s, if anyone wonders)… Oh boy, they sure do suck and they are very, very shallow in a strict musical sense. U2 tried to be shallow as well for a while; specifically during their “Zooropa”-period (whenever that was? The ”lemon” video comes instantly to mind).

As for pedantic; I would nominate Frank Zappa, bless his heart… Now there was a man that was pedantic for sure, still he was a freaking excellent guitarplayer and probably was an excellent performer as well. Another candidate of mine would be fusion-guitarist Al di Meola, by god his technique is worldclass! But there is little or no heart in it.

As for shallow AND Pedantic: “this is the big boom” for you guys…. Yngwe Malmsteen! Yes folks! There you have it! Pedantic aaand shallow! – All this, speaking in a strict musical sense of course. For all I know, he might be a nice guy….
