FR Freeman is far more annoying than Father Time IMO. Father time is a hapless saddo, while this guy is pure short man's syndrome. The article and R Freeman's self promotion would want us to believe that he and his band are as musically accomplished as The Wrecking Crew, The Memphis Horns, and The Miles Davis Quintet combined. Roger Waters wouldn't make the cut, yet they sound like they should be on one of those Youtube, worst band fails compilations. All the while R Freeman continues to poat clips of them, waxing (un)lyrically about how amazing his band is. I've called him out on it on Shitville a couple of times and it's water off a duck's back. It's like there's some law that the less musical or artistic talent someone has, the more they're going to be impervious to criticism - like the horrendously obese person who wanders out in public in skin tight clothing, and who stands there taking selfies and hassling you to buy one.... which could almost be a notable and subversive act except in the case of R Freeman it just isn't!

“I am an attorney who has spent much of my career doing media and entertainment law,” says Freeman about his involvement with the Beagles and their history.
I should have known. He's a Blues Lawyer.

Musical genius and produced Ringo Starr albums probably don't belong in the same sentence.

You're putting on an explosive play that explores Detroit during that explosive year. You need a band that's going to epitomize that explosiveness. They're going to have the explosiveness of '60s Detroit, but with the jazzy stylings of Ella Fitzgerald and the production qualities of Ringo Starr's Goodnight Vienna.
Tough call. But then you remember a name...

From the article: Before going to law school I got an M.A. in folklore, which informs both my lyrics and my musicianship as I focused my academic work on improvisatory musical traditions. It figures he'd write something so pompous. What a horse's ass...

Yes that M.A. contributed to that gem “happy happy, that’s my name”.
Fucking dipshit

19 tracks. It's a fucking double album. Lon Von Chaney did them no favors. He wasn't thinking straight after being signed to "Apples Record."

Consented to it? He would have demanded it. Who wants to transcribe 45 minutes of that garbage?

I love how our buddy continues to drop links to that gushing review – shoehorning them into any thread he can find. Today’s stop: a discussion about the Monkees’ new Christmas album: So I'm organizing 13 musicians and singers to put on a 16 song Xmas rock show in downtown Princeton in a month. And we will be doing Unwrap You At Xmas. Not that I have tried to play it yet. I have now succeeded in playing it. Just need to teach it to everyone else Really a great song. Hope Vanessa is up for singing it instead of leaving it to me. The Beagles – Harmony hooks and sultry seductions in a power pop package (The final line in his poat is a clickable link...) Rfreeman – Horrendous huckstering and shameless self-promotion of painful putrescent pap.

Looking up at that rant I wrote a month or two ago, I'm wondering who is the bigger putz, Rfreeman or myself for getting so irritated by him!
