The net benefit to the the world through exposure to Motown songs such as, Please Mister Postman, Money (That's What I Want) and You've Really Got a Hold on Me can not be measured. The bright line shone on that catalog by the Beatles set the Detroit label up to be one of the producers of the most riveting, joyous music of the mid-60's. The Beatles helped to ameliorate their financial woes, I can't imagine the 1960's withou Motown. Further, the inclusion of Roll Over Beethoven helped put Chuck Berry on white kids' turntables and guitars in their hands. I am very contented with the way it all turned out.

Those songs would have never have been hits years before the Beatles recorded them if the Beatles hadn't recorded them years later.

The inclusion of Roll Over Beethoven, moreover, helped to raise awareness among white kids of Beethoven, a black German composer who had languished in obscurity for many hundreds of years prior to that.

Love how he uses "ameliorate" but can't spell "without" correctly.

This is beyond stupid. "The Beatles helped to ameliorate their financial woes" is not even accurate; clearly in Elliott World these uppity coloured folks from Deeetroit wouldn't have been nothing without four moptops from Liverpool. Jesus fucking Christ, if you really believe that one of the most memorable accomplishments of The Beatles was their Motown covers, you've already failed at making whatever point it is you were trying to make.
For the record, I thought that the covers of Money and whatever the Smokey Robinson one is were really good rock n roll when I was about 17, and then I started paying proper attention to Motown's history. Now they just sound like fucking Pat Boone or something.

Maybe he's actually, given his spelling skills and maturity, a 11-year-old-boy who poses as a middle-aged man.

Berry Gordy would still be shining shoes if the Beatles hadn't made Motown famous.

Can anybody with songs like "Uncircumcised Men in the Service of Satan" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (featuring The Monkees)" Really be all that bad? Yes. The answer is yes.

"A gag reflex from every taste of your spiritual goulash add some pepper sure, but you can't remove any of the salt"
I haven't got as much skin in the Father Time game as most of you, but surely this is beyond even his boundaries of terribleness?

Oh no, this guy suuuucks, but he is no Father Time. Hell, I'd take this over The Beagles. The most delusional this guy gets is that he probably thinks he sounds like a cross between Elvis Costello and a They Might Be Giant, without thinking about how that's a goal that's annoying as fuck to begin with.
