Hey, Paul Hogan just called and said he wants his review back!

Ladies and gentlemen:  the great, the renowned Paul Hogan.  The most famous Australian who ever lived.

That's right, people!  Yes, you heard it here first!  The most famous and the most accomplished Australian who ever lived, except for that guy who choked on his own vomit and that other guy who "accidentally" choked himself to death with a belt, some kind of pop singer or something, like am so sure.

I choked both of them, they owed me money and wasted it on guns and alcohol. Ah nothing beats feeling the life drain from their body and watching the film of death cover their eyes..... wait... don't quote me on that or I will choke you.

You're into that too?

That must be Australia's best sport.

Aside from cricket, but who has the patience for that?

Ladies and gentlemen:  the great, the renowned Paul Hogan.  The most famous Australian who ever lived.

Right after Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, Cathy Freeman, Ian Thorpe, Ned Kelly, Julian Assange, Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, Tim Minchin...

...and about 7,000 bloody others.

Hi everybody!

I'm p_p and I'm in love with Keith Urban and his velvety vocal stylings and also that wolverine person and Kylie Minogue! 

[lostinidlewonder]

This is the most famous Australian of course.

Nope;
well yeah but only because he's one of Australia's best actors... and
Who the hell doesn't love Kylie?

Here is a more recent photo of her, stop posting old photos of her.

OK, fine.  Angus Young can stay. Malcolm Young can stay with Bon Scott. 

And, yes, Paul Hogan is one of Australia's finest singers, along with Maggie "The Cat" Thatcher.  Those gilded pipes....what they couldn't do! 

Melts the heart of any proud Australian, it does.

That's kind of so funny I forgot to laugh.  Where's my blowjob? 

That was the deal! 

You make with the funny and I get a little something on the side.

Fair is fair, sir.

Yes but not having an advanced degree from special learning english corps of international to have languages from which to understand the English she is not that such always a very easy language to comprehend for me, and it is sometimes that I find her language, the English, can want to be more difficult a bit from some others, as is sometimes often as it has to have found in among the languages.

Melts their eardrums maybe... actually, I don't think Paul Hogan ever sang as far as I know. He couldn't act either but I guess that didn't stop him.

[j_tour]

He is and was a brilliant performer.  Right up there as a song-and-dance man with Jimmy Cagney and James Spader and James Carrey and that other guy, like John Candy and everything, like no duh!

Astonishing life and career.

On a more serious note, yes, indeed Malcolm Young was an absolutely essential rhythm guitarist in what the kids are calling the rock music or combo bands.

A bit overshadowed by his more flamboyant brother, but Malcolm Young had the right stuff, and for many years, if too few.

And, no, Maggie Thatcher never sang except when she was pretending Reagan was down her throat, AFAIK.

The language when you're strangled is a lovely dialect, especially the moments when the gasping starts. Moment of panic also add to the intonation. Generally need to say what you want in one tiny breath which makes the dialogue more laconic, like the Spartans.

Yes, I believe that is a wise adjudgment.

Two questions:  (i) should I treat this wound on my knee?  (ii) how come p_p has more posts than you....that means he's better, right?

Yeah... see how that goes. I mean, what's the worst that could happen if you're wrong.

Hey, mine too!  Well, actually he's in a big plastic bag of cremains.

Mother too.  Actually, got a scoop of her in a jar at home. 

I'd still give it the old college try, though.  What would Harold Lloyd have done, anyway?

Completely agree... was in a chemist a couple of days ago and a bunch of young teenagers were causing a ruckus in the shopping centre. Seemingly most people refer them as 'eshay' little shits, and they were doing their best to shoplift as much as they could before they were kicked out of the centre.

In my day... you stepped out of line, your father belted you one. You sure as sh*t didn't step out of line after that... or you at least thought long and hard about even thinking about stepping out of line.

Still to this day.  However, if one misbehaves....well, "peer" pressure can be a strong form of coercion.  Up to and including getting a shiv stuck in your nuts if you're "disrespecting" someone.

Yet another case of parents offloading their failures as humans onto the public commons.  Thanks very much, bunch of taints!

And that is why I don't use public transportation or consort with hobos anymore.  Much.

Wow.  "In my day"?

Damn, you are old! 

Well, I'm a relatively healthy and fit middle-aged dude myself, but I'm no stud action fighter, so I carry a concealed pistol pretty often.  Yes, especially into bars/taverns/public houses/pool halls. 

Never seen, never shown.  And with a license to carry from the state, which I guarantee very few ne'er-do-wells have.

Don't encourage me!  It only fuels my delusional fantasies!

I suppose those who slip through the cracks end up in prison. In Prison, there are plenty of people who are more than ready to show you the consequences of stepping out line... usually with (the aforementioned by you) shiv to any fleshy part of the body.

We have a proud history of that... and happy to do it to the more extreme circumstances.

[perfect_pitch]

What???   

[j_tour]

What???   

OK.  Go down to the rope store and go Australian yourself. 

Weren't people talking about Bach or Frankie Boyle or something important anyway?

Oh.  No, not really.  Well I find Bach difficult to play and to memorize, but even my feeble non-p_p mind has found a number of effective solutions or salves.

It can be done.  A few different techniques can be used...I like decomposing every part of a fugue into, say, SATB parts (or, obviously, add one if it's a five-part fugue....doesn't matter), and trying to "compose" each part in real time....and one can certainly write it out on staff paper if one desires...

For préludes and such?  No, I don't have a strategy for those....just sort of remember what one can and keep the basic harmony in there....I still have a hard time with the Em keyboard Partita of Bach....it's dfficult for me to not eff up somewhere in there in the arpeggiated prélude parts.

Improvisation can cover any number of sins at things like préludes of Bach....at the very least, one has the security of knowing that one can just play and have it sound good if one effs up and forgets something or another. 

So, if one actually knows the piece and understands the melodic and harmonic schemata, one can easily continue.  Really is a kind of "ear learning," but despite me not having absolute pitch, I don't find it difficult....one learns how to adapt and how to compensate for all those times when "muscle memory" will fail.

[perfect_pitch]

Oh.  No, not really.  Well I find Bach difficult to play and to memorize, but even my feeble non-p_p mind has found a number of effective solutions or salves.

Hey - I never said Bach was easy... never even alluded to it. It's got its own complexities and his 3, 4 (and sometimes 5) part fugues are evil. A real mastery of muscle memory.

I'm better at aural memory. I can imagine and hear all the notes in my head and then try and work out the notes from there... but with the very careful fingering needed for Bach - I would never say it's easy.

[lostinidlewonder]

Memorizing Bach is for weak beginners. I laugh at you.

[j_tour]

No such thing as muscle memory.  Well not reliable memory, anyway.  Haptic memory is a component of a complicated set of lived experiences (vécus), but only one small part of a vast sensory and contemplative apparatus.
