In my opinion, it's wrong to hit anyone. (Except in the case of self defense, in which case, they shouldn't be hitting you)
However, not everyone believes that, so, when they got it coming, whether they're male or female, they deserve it. Since some people firmly believe women are as tough as men (Which I agree to at times), why do they still think it's wrong to hit a girl?
Jazz.
Unlike rock or metal, power chords and repeated techniques don't work here.
If you want to be a good jazz musician, you have to know every scale, technique, and note that you can use in a song, and be ready to use it at any given time, in order to ensure that your song doesn't become repetitive or boring.
"Power isn't a feeling. Respect isn't a feeling. Morals, honour etc isn't feelings."
You are partly right; Respect/Power/Honor is a feeling, but not an emotion.
You can feel powerful and respected, as well as honored.
We need to think about feelings and emotions, let's take a serial killer for example.
Does he feel guilt or remorse for what he did? Probably not, unless he's at his execution or on his deathbed. What I'm saying is, a lack of feelings is something to be concerned about.
Real quick here, I want to say that I don't hate them, and that I do indeed like some of them, however, I still think the music they play has no talent. Then again, I doubt they care, as long as they got my money in their pocket.
Music is music. Whether it's good or not is all up to your opinion. Is it a failure? Well, people listen to it, so no.
They listen to it now, but are they going to remember it in a couple of years?
The Ivy Three had their song Yogi in 1960. It placed #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. But now, how many people today can remember them?
Now also in 1960, here come the Beatles. Today, almost anyone can tell you about the Beatles.
Originality, and effort.
Too many musicians today are so utterly fake, it breaks my heart.
I'll say this.
A musician, who writes his or her own music, and enjoys what they do, is alright in my books, even if what they play is so bad it makes my ears bleed.
