Curiosity got the better of me after reading this thread, so I signed up and it's quite the ride. This line from the latest one about Petty is just too much to not post:
And it was all in our heads. This was long before MTV. Production at shows was limited. You bought the vinyl and spun it alone in your room and transcended, you had to go to the show not to shoot selfies, not to say you were there, BUT TO PRAY AT THE CHURCH OF YOUR SOUL!

Joanie....gotta ask yourself the tuff questions as an artistCan you lay it on the line? Can you tell us how you feel? Can you reach down deep and puke it all up without giving a fuck?That’s what we’re looking for.

unsurprisingly the top comment is something about how taylor swift can't sing live, as if that exonerates lefsetz for sexism
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Friday, 16 February 2018 16:36 (six years ago) link
Wait, are we back to "hating Taylor Swift is anti-feminist" because I thought we moved onto "liking talentless white becky Taylor Swift is neo-nazism"

Lefsetz is the same writer who saw Beyoncé perform at the 2013 Super Bowl and remarked that he wasn’t sure what to do afterwards, “join a gym or masturbate.” He’s the same critic who assured readers that if they wanted to “get laid” they should go to a One Direction show. “An endless sea of barely pubescent girls, screaming their heads off,” he wrote. He dedicated an entire letter to Emily Ratajkowski’s cameo in the “Blurred Lines” video because “it was the only thing that had me watching, who was the girl with the perfect breasts?”

i enjoy having a laugh at this guy on this thread, but yeah, it is crazy that he is actually considered an authority on ... anything.

I try to keep Lefsetz in mind when other experts are given suddenly platforms for comment in the wider world.

Twitter has so many "social selling/SEO/futurist" guru bullshit artists, probably one a day follows me because I work in marketing

Diane Warren (EXPLICIT)

I know I lol'd at that. also in the Nancy Wilson one the second she mentions a reel-to-reel he goes OH, YEAH like you can hear him working up a TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED. THE MUSIC MEANT SO MUCH routine behind his eyes

kind of looks like him too

I just listened to most of the Diane Warren ep. For the most part I didn't think he came off as much worse than Maron? He was very pushy in trying to direct the conversation and there was a lot of over-talking, but I didn't get the impression that Diane was flustered by any of it. There was that one line where he says something about there being jealous, bitter people all over America who could move to L.A. and fuck someone who looks like a cast member on Friends but they don't. And I was like "there he is."

Segueing in from a discussion about how trying to help people out sometimes backfires. Bob got mobbed by some guy's followers on Myspace 10 years ago when he refused to promote this dude's act or something.
Diane: You know, for all the people who have contempt for people who have done well with their lives, go do well with your own life. Why would you have contempt for someone that's worked really hard?Bob: Because it's too hard to be successful. The analogy I always use...Diane: So do the work!Bob: But it's too hard for them. I remember, you know, they had the TV show friends. There's three guys, three girls.Diane: That's the second time today someone's brought up that TV show.Bob: What was the context of the first time?Diane: Someone with an [unintelligible] I was in earlier, and I've never even seen the show. Is that weird?Bob: Show started off good, you know? In England the shows end. Here, they run until no one's watching any more. BUT, anybody sitting at home gay, straight or otherwise: 6 people on the show, you could find someone you're interested in. And if you're not living in Los Angeles, where the show was filmed, you can sit there and say "hey, you know, if I moved to Los Angeles I could fuck one of those people." But the difference is: they don't move.
