By: shaurz. on 07 Nov 08, 08:46:07
I don't like Bush, but he is an easy scapegoat and you should look deeper. The Iraq Liberation Act which called for and legitimised the Iraq war was signed by Clinton in 1998. The political elite of both parties had already decided to "regime change" Iraq well before G W was president.

By: marcusbarr. on 19 Oct 08, 09:16:37
I think I missed the part of Vidal that is non-partisan. Thank goodness he was honest about the degeneration of The New York Times and the loss of journalistic objectivity in the News, as a whole. That much was unbiased. Yet, he then fails to define the original definition of "liberal" correctly & that was disingenuous of him. But, strangely enough, he did manage to debunk the usefulness of Political Correctness, despite having built his career upon it.

By: mopsius. on 11 Oct 08, 00:51:06
Sure. In Chinese--until recently at least--S-P is just one subset of many. That is just one aspect. Interestingly enough the mainland Chinese, without knowing it, are actually changing Chinese grammar to fit Chomsky. The Chinese Chomskyites, therefore, are in a hilarious recursion to some very large degree.

Now that the globalists are in the kind of total control around the globe that we feared for years. Stuff we heard years ago by such great men as Vidal,Chomsky etc... the underground :Punk,Death Metal & Legit Hip Hop Culture,the Cyberpunk & Sci-fi Novelist's etc... They are not pariah's anymore thx to the information age. We carry the torch individualy on a big scale. Why do people still judge Punks 28 years later even tho they share the same idealogy's? Not the 70's or current "MTV" pop

David Foster produces the type of music that I like. The key word being there "I", meaning that not everyone likes his music but to call it schmalz is ignorant. They are so many different types of music out there, and not everyone weill be pleased, but we must respect everyone's choices, and not put someone down because they do soemthing we dont agree with.

By: 79Saints. on 29 Oct 08, 16:58:55
True, but of course for Chicago 19, Twenty-1, The Heart Of Chicago collections, XXX and so on, the band released nothing but ballads -which as you say, sounded more and more the same. Foster, of course, had nothing to do with them. But Chicago and their management wanted to continue the Foster formula that worked so well on 16 & 17.

Yes. But they ...
By: mysteryword. on 28 Oct 08, 21:11:21
Yes. But they weren't making them frequently like they did after Foster took over. the songs started to sound the same. I'm not saying that Foster is a bad producer but I think he should've left Chicago alone and Chicago should've gotten another producer because they were starting to go down hill. Chicago 16 wasn't bad but then 17 ended up more electronic and different.

I would`nt say its ALL garbage. First off,it wasnt intended for white mainsteam in the beggining. It was [ ghetto]blacks [the street]talking to one another. Especially the East to West coast., or anyone in between. 2nd ,.it was a way a create their market, that would have been dissinfranchised by the whites. ALL styles come and go. There is severe LACK OF MELODY, for sure. Maybe that will change for the better.

I love David Foster because He is friends with Clay Aiken and just a little plug if you haven't heard Clay's new CD "On My Way Here" which is a beautiful put together CD with quite a few songs that can hit you in the heart. Try it you might like it! I hope Clay does go with David Foster!

By: ReeferCity. on 16 Jul 08, 16:47:25
This man is amazing. Up to now, I had only listened to his music. This interview is quite inciteful into the man. I am very pleased with this because he is a genuine person - he is REAL. Any critic who would attempt to call him a perfectionist would be dead wrong. He loves what he does and appreciates his God-given talent. I have to say that back in my teens and through today, I have always enjoyed his work. It is a shame that age 14 is the "benchmark". Kids don't know GREAT music these days.

By: debk4142. on 14 Jul 08, 23:37:24
Fabulous guy, with a great ear for real music. Won't be surprised if Clay Aiken is in his stable before long. They are close friends, and he has had Clay sing at his galas. He KNOWS a great voice when he hears one. Josh Grobin is another example!

By: reshamari11. on 04 Jul 08, 05:57:22
David Foster or anyone that knows him how could I as a music composer with over 120 songs composed, already registered get my songs to be heard by either a record company or an artist. All I here is we don't accept unsolicited music. I am a member of ASCAP, but they don't help either. I know I could try sending my music through a music lawyer to a company, etc. But, which lawyer. David you talk about helping. How about helping unknown composers with potential hits on their hands? Love ya D. F.

By: WABBIT8. on 15 Apr 08, 07:42:21
I think it's a case of if you look good on a MTV or whatever, you're in. Who cares if you can actually sing or not? And that is very sad. It also sets a bad example to kids that says you got to look good to be successful, which is appalling. That's why I love Chicago, and Richard Marx so much because they are genuine musicians.Come back, Bob Harris, we need you.

By: ddviolinist. on 14 Apr 08, 20:56:50
That's too bad. I miss the good music. Very few artists today grab me. I don't like the direction of pop music. It used to be that there was true artistry in a lot of "pop." Now, there is very little, and the record industry promotes this change so they can sell to the masses that don't know anything better. it is really strange, actually. But, when the public hears a great artist, like Eva Cassidy for instance, they DO know she is amazing, when they finally get the chance to hear greatness.
