Jesus,
PKTrekGirl, relax. You could have just let someone else review my songs if it upset you so much instead of somehow making me look like a dick. It should be self-evident that it's not a pro Hitler song.

I do believe it's important to talk about the Third Reich, also creatively, so that we can understand why it happened (and be more wary in the future) and empathise with the victims.
However, the song is about the ubiquity of Hitler in the media, mostly for the ratings and not for educational purposes.
But whatever, I'm out of here.
By the way, you also missed the point why Paul played 'something' and not a Wings song. It was meant as a tribute to George.
1. If you want people to say only good things about the songs you post, you've come to the wrong thread. I don't see you as a 'dick'. But now, after the above diatribe, I see you as WAY overly sensitive in this instance. The songs I post have been ripped to shreds too. But who cares? I know that I certainly don't. I don't see it as a reflection on me personally or anything. It's merely ONE person's opinion about a bloomin' YouTube video, 'fer cryin' out loud. That's IT, and that's ALL. I mean, let's get some frakkin' perspective here, 'mkay?
Fact: I don't like songs about Hitler. Sorry, but I don't think it's a subject appropriate for music. So sue me.
Now, I'm all about 'dialog' on the topic or whatever. But I'm sorry - nothing you can say will convince me that anyone should be wasting their creative energies on that particular individual. You can certainly believe otherwise if you like - that is your right. But I have a right to my opinion also. Which means about as much as yours; that being, 'Opinions are like bellybuttons - everybody had one, and they are all pretty pointless'. However, I certainly don't think you are a 'dick' for believing differently than me - in fact, I alluded
very clearly to the fact that *I* was the one that was perhaps incapable of objectivity on this issue. So I'm just not getting why you are so upset.
As to why I reviewed your songs - well, simply put, it
SEEMED LIKE MY TURN. Nothing more. I'd not participated in a few days, so I decided to participate. I was not aware of any rule allowing individuals to participate in threads around here, only if they say good things. Guess I missed that rule change. As I guess I missed the purpose of this thread completely, if you are correct. As, apparently, did
Jetfire, who immediately reviewed MY songs and was not too thrilled about any of them.
Jetfire - looks like you didn't love to bits any of my songs. Please don't review them if you don't love them as your negative reviews make me look like I have bad taste in music.
Now, doesn't that last paragraph seem silly as
hell,
Count Zero? It certainly does to me. Because
Jetfire is more than entitled to think that every single song I post in this thread sucks. As it stands, I'm fairly certain she thinks my taste in music is very limited. But I don't care. I am what I am. And I'm just trying to have a little frakkin'
fun here - and discover some 'new to me' bands. Some of which I'll love - some not.
But it never even occurred to me to make personal judgments about the people posting songs, based on what they post. It's a SONG. Not a PERSONAL DECLARATION OF FRAKKIN' TRUTH or anything.

Good grief.
2. The Paul McCartney/George Harrison thing was NOT, in fact, lost on me. In fact, my guess is that if you hadn't been so upset at me by that point, you'd have seen that it was NOT lost on me.
What was apparently lost on
you, however, is the fact that I thought it was a pretty lame 'tribute'. However, I want to clarify here that my believing this is NOT a reflection on you for posting it. If anything I guess it's a 'reflection' on Paul McCartney (not that he gives a rat's ass what I think -
nor should he!). I just don't think turning one of the Beatles best songs into a silly ukulele tune is a very good 'tribute'.
But that's
just me...and neither Paul nor you should give a rat's ass that I think so. Because certainly, Paul McCartney knows a hell of a lot better than I do what George Harrison would like. Wouldn't you agree?

So good on Paul. Doesn't mean I have to like it personally though.
Or are you of the opinion that we HAVE to like it because Paul did it as a tribute to George? Maybe that is where we are having the disconnect. Me personally? I don't believe being a Beatle makes you a god. So I believe I can say whatever I like about Paul and his 'tribute', even if it's negative. But I ALSO believe that Paul McCartney would have to be a fucking idiot to lose one nanosecond of sleep over what some yahoo who calls herself
PKTrekGirl posted about his tribute on a Star Trek message board. And while Paul McCartney is many things, an idiot certainly isn't one of them.
Now, hows about we just chillax and not get so worked up about this stuff? These are songs on frakkin'
YouTube. That's all. No lives will be lost here.
