We've discussed the phenom of the "reaction" type video to BOC songs on youtube before, and I've mentioned that I don't understand it (because, obviously, I'm an old git who's not "down with the kids") so all I can say is: here's ANOTHER one that's left me perplexed  : |

No I don't get them either but that's probably because I'm an old git too. I found this one entertaining & (possibly unintentionally)funny er.. dude.  |

If I were 'reacting' to music that was 40 years old as a college student, I'd be commenting on music of the Roaring 20's, Edison cylinder recordings and heavy brittle 78 rpm records played with needles the size of ballpoint pens and acoustically amplified by a big horn instead of electronics and speakers.

I'd like to see that youtube video... (Actually, you should do one, just as a sort of ironic counterpoint "reaction" to the whole genre...) |

I’ve always found it interesting how, during the 70’s, the 50’s seemed like ancient history, where 20 years ago, now, seems like yesterday, almost. Screwy enough to make me just live for today. |

Was just thinking about that the other day, Martman. When I moved to Green Bay 22 years ago the oldies station played Elvis. Now they play my music. |

I finally watched the video at the top of the thread. When the fellows had the phones on, they reminded me of Bevis and Butthead. I'm glad they liked "Godzilla," though.
It struck me with today's tech, just about all culture and media will eventually be available to anyone on demand. I hope that future and present people will access and learn from history. Too many people today think history began the day they were born. In my experience, human behavior hasn't changed much over the ages. Only the bells and whistles do. Although I sense that human evolution is speeding to keep up with the information age, still in it's embryonic stage.

Well, Beavis and Butthead is the template for the whole phenomenon - we didn't realise it back then, but they were setting the trend - dunno if you remember that "Mystery Science Theater 3000" series, but they did a similar thing for b-movies and the like... What I found different with this one is that all you got, for the length of the track, was these guys with their eyes shut, nodding away... the usual deal with these type of videos is that the "reviewers" keep interrupting the track to add their comments on the bit that's just gone before, and then they resume it to play the next bit... "If it's a metaphor, I'll give it a 10... if it's NOT a metaphor, and it's just about Godzilla, I'll give it a 9.9..." |

Great books with a really interesting take on future tech and society. |

With BOC's Godzilla, it's actually both.

. I hope that future and present people will access and learn from history. Too many people today think history began the day they were born. In my experience, human behavior hasn't changed much over the ages. Always told my students in my history classes when it comes to the human race, the faces and names change, but the act stays the same. Also nice to know that many of my students were classic rock fans....probably helped having the BOC and Alice Cooper posters all over my classroom! |
