What is the name of the song about a band that plays the trumpet?
"Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits comes to mind. Has the line: "A band is blowing Dixie, double 4 time" and "They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band, it ain't what they call rock and roll".
Is it fair to call "Like a Rolling Stone" the greatest song of all time?
There are no objective standards that can be measured as in a 100 meter race, but knowledgeable people can agree that great songs have a discernible impact, and the greatest songs change the way people think about the possibilities inherent in the medium.“Like a rolling stone” blew peoples minds when it came out, as it was a melding of poetry and rock, never before heard in its directness. Before Dylan came along, the Beatles were singing child-like lyrics such as “I wanna hold your hand”. He changed everything.“Johnny B. Goode” is similar in impact, because it is the blueprint in guitar playing and lyrics for a large part of the whole of rock. Early rock music became guitars, cars, and girls because of Chuck Berry.I really dislike the idea that there is no objective way to determine greatness as Alex Johnston or Franciscus Alex Rebro have indicated. It is true that it would be impossible to ascertain what is THE greatest, but there are profound differences between songs and artists that can be heard.Elvis, Dylan, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Springsteen, Motown, are actually better than most everyone else in large part because of the fact that the real experts, other musicians, have been so profoundly influenced by these artists, that music would be different without them. The impact the songs of these artists have had is the objective measure.“itsy bitsy teenie weenie polka dot bikini” had zero impact on the music world. There is a reason Mozart is still played, and a reason people still gaze at Picasso’s paintings. It is because of the impact of their work.
Kenneth Adelman , Richard Perle,Joshua Muravchik , David Frum,,, they all are jewish?
Ken Adelman, a consummate Washington insider and member of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board, was one of a number of high-profile neoconservative-aligned politicos who turned against their erstwhile political champion, President George W. Bush. In late 2006, these politicos began denouncing what they said were the administration's failed strategies in Iraq—strategies that they and other neoconservatives had played a heavy hand in designing and promoting. Besides Adelman, others who joined the anti-administration bandwagon were Richard Perle, the former chairman of the Defense Policy Board and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI); David Frum, a former speechwriter for President Bush who allegedly coined the phrase “axis of evil;” AEI scholar Michael Ledeen; Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy; and Joshua Muravchik, who in a widely noted 2006 Foreign Policy article chided the administration and his fellow neoconservatives for failing to keep alive the post-9/11 interventionist momentum in U.S. foreign policy.
