“They were clearly soulmates: they’d often sit together, giggling”

-Jim Hutton (about Freddie and Roger)

the funniest part of the monkees has got to be davy's completely inaccurate tambourine playing. that thing is just going absolutely WHEREVER it wants

I wouldn't have survived the 60s cuz I would've been too scared of the doobie and they'd kick me the fuck out of Peter Tork's drug fueled orgy.

there really is nothing that can recreate the experience of listening to a song for the first time again, but if you want to get close. listen to it in a better quality. listen to it on cd. listen to it on vinyl. listen to it on different speakers. listen to it on better speakers. listen to it on worse speakers. listen to the remaster. listen to the original master. go for a walk at a place and time that matches its vibes and listen to it then. a good song is full of layers that you can tease apart and find more magic inside, even when you thought you found it all.

Freddie, an arts and graphic major, would be appalled at this AI crap. I find it offensive to his legacy that Brian and Roger didn’t fight this more. So disappointed 😞

Agree, he was also a huge perfectionist, he wouldn't let himself and his bandmates look like a nonsensical puddle of food because the AI can't automatically generate their damn faces, he'd have hired a painter at least to fix it!!! Yet I'm seeing so many people voing with the "don't claim what Freddie would've tought" using the excuse that he would've tried generative AI 💀 bunch of bullshit

i should get paid to think about old musicians its really what im best at

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game
