Thats what I loved about the 1990s, it was such a freeform decade. Frank Zappa talks abou how the 1960s was like that. Nobody in the industry really knew what was going on , and as a result you got all these strange collaborations and really unusual bands getting signed. I think the 90s was.a bit like that for a while. The industry was completely upended by Nirvana and for thel longest time afterwards a lot of really unusual acts where getting signed because the record execs where all "fuck it, the kids seem to like it, sign em" And so you'd get stuff like Beck and Johnny cash doing a tour together. This is something that never could have occurded before, or after the 90s. I'm just waiting for something truly underground to break water once again so we get another decade of true innovation. We're about due for it.

+Industrial Savior I actually like hearing people say that because it includes Trent Reznor. I think to this day people are even more unaware of what happened with "The Downward Spiral" breaking ground than someone like Beck. But that plays into the theory that while Trent may have truly shown sounds and layers unheard to the human ear at the time (I believe it was 94) he failed to reinvent his sound the way say Beck or even Radiohead has over the years. For most that tends to have more longevity. Sorry, not sure I have a point outside of "I agree". So I'll leave it at that.

Cash wasn't one of those artists who stayed hermetically sealed within their own era, dismissing all modern music. He kept up with the times and served as an inspiration and mentor to a lot of young artists near the end of his life.
@tobysgamingworld15503 жыл бұрын
Very true and he didn’t look down on people. I honestly admire him because even as a self proclaimed Christian (same as me) he’s never been judgmental or like you said, sealed off with this idea that he’s above anyone. He was open. He was a hard addict (same here) and when you’ve been there and get on the other side of it you understand how easy it is to be at the bottom. To be looked at as less than when you’re still of the same spirit inside just broken. You nailed it. He was open to other things and willing to see the good in everything. His variety show back in the day was amazing. I’ve seen clips, he invited everyone on.

Beck is a musical genius. It's an amazing gift being able to write a song out of thin air-like the universe and stars all aligned in that perfect moment. Beck's music always seemed as if he's not taking anything too seriously and just having fun. Some of the songs, lyrics, even their names are totally absurd at first glance, but with each listen you start to notice the layering and driving genius behind it.

Beck's folk rock stuff is his best work in my opinion. Sea Change was my favourite album of his until Morning Phase came out, and now that's easily his best work I think. I got to see him in 2019. Songs like Loser and Where It's At were SO much fun, but when he was playing Heart is a Drum and Blue Moon he was totally in his element.

A lot of people didn't like 'Mutations' but I really did. It's much more melancholy than 'Mellow Gold' almost as if Beck was feeling withdrawn because of the fame he didn't want. 'Odelay!' was his bounce back full force.

Greg Williams Really? Ironic? I guess. I’d buy satirical. Not sure about ironic. Beck was pretty young during this interview. He may have been sarcastically or satirically(both are usually attempts at humor)wiping tears but there’s always truth in humor. I think his feeling was appropriate. Maybe he didn’t have real tears flowing because he was emotionally spent from touring or because he is a sociopath(jk). However, he certainly knew what having an artist like Cash enjoy even ONE of his songs meant. So he went through the motions of emotions instead of gushing verbally. I could be wrong. It may have been ironic and maybe he has or had some disdain for Cash. Ironically implies some form of opposite. Maybe I’m wrong. Totally open to discussion

How long did it take you to write that?” Cohen, embarrassed of saying the truth which took him 4-6 years to write it, he lied & said it took him 2 years. The Cohen asked Dylan about a song he liked of his & asked him how long it took him to write that, to which Dylan replied “30 minutes in the back of a bus”.

I can imagine a large record company party thats just packed with people chatting away and some how if Beck and Johnny Cash were on opposite sides of the crowded room they would some how be able to sense the presence of one another and gravitate towards eachoth and spend the whole night talking about music in there own little world.

The colors and the hippy or post hippy era is what I remember. Lidville, Banana Splits, HR Puff n stuff.. it was a good time to be a kid but I loved music and loved Johnny Cash as did my parents. only real family time together that everyone enjoyed being together. Johnny would have everything, not just Country and Western but Rock, Soul and other stuff. He was a great actor and a good man as was June.

I've always felt that I SHOULD like Johnny Cash, although I've only ever liked a few of his songs. Knowing that he liked Beck's song enough to do a cover, I feel like maybe he was evolving into a musician I would like, but hadn't gotten quite there all the way.
