I believe I saw Taylor Swift singing Queen's praises right next to the obituary of the Go-Go's old manager. This thread was probably overdue; this guy's a total maniac.

Maybe this is too obvious or simple but that post is a master class in how to desperately seek validation for the stuff one enjoys. It's not enough to like Queen, but they've now also got to be validated as an influence on contemporary female artists (who sound nothing like Queen.) And then The Beatles need to be re-validated as an influence on Queen. It's like, there are these endorphins going off in the brain but then this endless questioning - I am right for enjoying this? I like "Play The Game"...is it also Beatlesque because there's a major key piano part and an occasional lean to the minor subdominant?
I like THIS - who else likes THIS? I think like THIS - who else thinks like THIS?
I like bananas - do you like bananas? (philosophical underpinning of my dumb username here) Does Taylor Swift, also, like bananas? Because I'm pretty sure I like them but I'll feel like I'm a little further from the existential void and strange confusion and contradictions of my brief life as a human being if I can briefly feel better if Bebe Rexha has a vinyl copy of Hot Space lying around.

There is absolutely no way in hell that someone born in 2001 likes Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Zero. These freaks!

Hoo boy... forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/disgraced-former-recording-academy-president-neil-portnow-is-in-hospice.1093228/Portnow was the Recording Academy president up until 2020, when he stepped down. He came under fire in 2018 for making abhorrent comments about how women need to "step up" if they want to be recognized.The comments were so offending that Lorde--one of that year's nominees--refused to perform or even attend that year's ceremony. Not soon after, he was accused of sexual misconduct by a former female employee, Deborah Dugan. Portnow would later claim that the allegations were "motivated by jealousy" and "completely causing irreversible damage to his reputation."
(blah blah blah)
He was a very kind Jewish man, and despite his allegations, I would be happy to defend him.
This is sad news. Richard Perry has Parkinson's, Peter Cetera of Chicago is retired, and now Neil Portnow is dying. Why do all the good people fall victim?

Someone who gives more of a shit can dig deeper if they'd like, but, like when he eulogized the Go-Go's ex-manager, I don't see anything else on the Internet about this.
