I have now lost all faith in humanity. :(
So they aren’t eligible for a Grammy award?
Same ole’ tune, fiddle and guitar.
OMG! You too —— I thought I was the only one! :>)
Will this somehow affect my Pacman score of 124,500 at the local pizza shop’s machine? Because I devoted many quarters and many hours to make that leaderboard.
Modern Music PING!
The only faith I have in humanity is that people will always find new ways to debase themselves.
When people are willing to cheat and lie about the absolutely inconsequential stuff- i.e.- Rock Band leader boards- what hope is there that they will do the right thing (or even recognize what the right thing is) when it’s something that actually matters?
Back in college we had a summer field camp in Manitou (?) near Colorado Springs. Not much homework, and I lived in my truck near an arcade. At the end of field camp I had all the high scores (5 or 10) on a pinball type game called “Hyperball”.
Four years later I drove through there with my soon-to-be wife. I had to stop in to see if the game was still there and play it. It was! One other person had managed to get their initials up in the midst of mine. Pretty sad that after 30 years I’m still real proud of that!
i’m 47. not THAT old. And I don’t understand
ONE WORD
of this :(

This is the Modern Music Ping List. Our topic is music from the 20th and 21st century, from Ravel and Shostakovich through to the Synth Pioneers and beyond.
Topic suggestions are always welcome, and pings to music-related threads are appreciated.
FReepmail or reply to this post to be added to or removed from this list.
Is auto tuned considered music?
If out of tune noise can be computer altered into “in tune” music are the performers still considered musicians?
If I write garbage but a word processing program turns it into rhyme, does that make me a poet?
Is there a paint program that will change my splashes of paint into a Rembrandt?
Have all of these questions been generated by an A.I. program?
If it is like any other 30 year old pinball machine, with the unsteady legs and three bumpers not working, and a weak paddle, it is not a surprise. Doesn’t anyone maintain those things anymore? Love them when they are new.
Congrats on the honors.
not unless they share it with Milli Vanilli ..and michael jackson’s....... kids
