I still haven't totally gotten over the history of absolute click bait boomer yelling at cloud tripe that was Rick's Youtube channel, but I have to admit, he has pulled off probably the two most consequential interviews for audio production ever in Andy Wallace and Brendan O'Brien. And both were really well done and thoughtful. Andy Wallace in particular was a ridiculous score as he was a total enigma for being arguably the most important mixing engineer in history along with Clearmountain. His wiki page was like one paragraph lol. And I think the O'Brien interview may be one of the only ones he has ever given? I can't think of two guys that informed how I related to music more than these two. Along with the Gilmour interview, I really think Rick has done some good stuff and hopefully he sticks to this as I think it's really valuable stuff.
Is it though? That's what I am asking. Just because you didn't make those connections in the moment doesn't mean you were never gonna make em. And the understanding you gain from doing organically is deeper. I'm not opposed to anyone using it like you are other than environmental reasons, but it definitely misses the neural connections that come with doing it the long way. The other thing is because of my age I'm blasted with 30th anniversaries of all the music from my teens and 20s so I get sent down these holes more than can keep up with anyways. I couldn't even begin to actually look for more.
A broker. Who actually is a distant relative of mine. And I can't say anything bad about them, they do a good job with what they do, but the fact that the job needs to exist at all is the issue!
Well, they don't actually pay the full, minimum they get 50%. And upper level employees get up to 100% including family. But the key here is the suboptimal risk pool. It hurts everyone. I have said for years, as a business owner, I am basically a single issue voter for government healthcare. I hate dealing with healthcare so much I can't even begin to articulate it.
The problem with this, and several others, is you are looking at normal times elections where the vast majority of the country was fat and happy. You need to go back to the robber barons and Teddy Roosevelt's dismantling of them to really see a parallel with what is possible now. I'm not saying you are gonna make a bunch of whites not racist, but if you give them the chance to take down billionaires they will make common cause with you. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Yes! But the discomfort is our ally right now.
