The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

This is why I added the 'this establishment' clause. In some bizarro world, sure Canadian pizza can have Pineapple, but the point stands.

True story: a Greek immigrant, in Canada, made the first Hawaiian pizza.

Correct, Hawaiian.

Ah, I see. When you wrote "Canadian Pizza," you meant it as "this specific style of pizza by that name," and I misunderstood that to be "a pizza made in Canada."

I think people need to stop blaming the USA for this pineapple pizza confusion. I mean sure, we're guilty of a litany of food crimes, but that isn't one of them. (That's far too creative for us Yankees. Here, we're more about the "cheap, mass-produced corn syrup and GMOs." That low-quality chocolate, watery yellow beer, and over-roasted stale coffee that you can't seem to escape? You're welcome.)

Crimes?

World, you're welcome.

Yeah, the lowest common denominator is the problem here. Non high fructose corn syrup is just fine in a wide variety of applications and GMOs (when divorced from their terrible corporate overlords) are conceptually neccessary to feed a planet of this size (especially with us killing the climate at the same time.)

That all being said:

Whatever category you file Lucinda Williams in, she's awesome.

There is definitely good country music out there. I think Patsy Cline would have loved Kacey Musgrave's music, for instance.

The notion that "today's music is all terrible" is largely about brain plasticity. Whatever music you liked when your brain "set" in your mid-20s is what you think of as "the best" music. (Yes, there are people who firmly believe that N'Sync is the greatest music ever created.)

This is why your parents hated your music and you hate your kids' music. In every era, there was excellent, good, average and bad music being created.

That's all so weird to me. While there are some examples of 60's and 70's rock I like, most of the music I listen to is of much more recent vintage (and in the case of symphonic metal, didn't even really exist when I was growing up).

It's funny because back in 2010 while I was in the Army over in Afghanistan, a few of us were watching an Epic Mealtime video. One of the British soldiers walked by, saw what we were watching and shook his head about "the things Americans eat". I had to point out the people making that show were actually Canadian.
