An interview with a former member of the Nice that discounted the influence of the Blues on the Nice's music.

 

Full disclosure; I'm more of an indie rock kinda guy.

OK...

I hope you enjoy it.

I'm past the point where I judge folks by their music.

If you follow the music forums you will see I post a lot more than just Prog.

I just meant that my last post pretty much exhausted my limited knowledge of prog rock. Indie's my security blanket, but I really like all types of music.

My problem is everything not sports related that I have read from there has fallen between boring and infuriating.  I'm still annoyed at the random prog rock hit piece.

Not sure I want to give them my support.

If they have a problem with King Crimson or ELP , I’ll happily join your Athletic boycott.

Britt is good at what she does, for sure.  She'll be on a national (no pun intended) level some day.

Britt is a superior journalist.  I'm sure she'll do incredible work at The Athletic.

Her statement indicates she’s intrigued by The Athletic’s entry into video.  Might have been nice to see her and someone like Luis Matos replace Tom Davis and Rick Dempsey on the MASN pre and post game.  Thorne, Palmer, Davis & Dempsey are all 69 + yr old caucasian males.  Since we’re shaking things up........

Good writer and tv personality. She was the coolest person that covered the team, not whiny or sensitive like the dudes.

Sounds as though they're trying to occupy the hipsterish niche that Grantland once did. I haven't read anything on The Athletic. Do the articles have footnotes?

Rock & Roll died  to  me when Mick Taylor left the Stones

I'm sorry, I found nothing special--though nothing unacceptable--in her writing or perceptions. Never evocative, never able to relate baseball in an interesting way to other aspects of life. It's been a long time since Baltimore baseball writing was interesting.
