Whatever happened to:

Large fingers pushing paint.
You’re God and you got big hands.
The colors blend.
The challenges you. give. Man.

I have it on good authority that when Ed wrote “large fingers pushing paint, you’re god and you’ve got big hands”, he was looking at that poster of all of the Pink Floyd album covers painted on all those women’s backs. So, really, not that far of a stretch from Johnny Guitar. Just worded more mysteriously.

Kevin Davis wrote:There's absolutely a valuable perspective that comes from experiencing the music "as it happened," and as someone who likes a lot of artists who are long dead or damn near, that perspective becomes increasingly valuable the further it becomes from the norm. When I occasionally come across stories from people who experienced the '50's jazz scene in NYC, or saw Bob Dylan live in 1966, or experienced Beatlemania as it happened, I perk up and listen. That stuff is interesting to me.

However, the idea that this makes a person's rankings or personal preferences any more "definitive" is ludicrous. In this regard, "lifelong fan with unique in-the-moment context" and "fresh-faced listener unburdened by historical or contextual baggage" are simply two different, equally compelling (and equally likely to devolve into overly self-assured idiocy) lenses through which to view the music. All fanbases will slowly morph from being defined wholly by the former to being defined wholly by the latter, so its dumb to begrudge the people on that far end of the spectrum their likely circumstantial moment of experience with the band. Time is on their side, after all.

FWIW I have been a fan since early 1995, and my favorite albums are Yield, Riot Act, and No Code (in that order).
