Hmm…Look and Listen

Saw this:

Liked it very much.
Is it just me?

Edit.

I've been thinking about this for a bit, and I think I shall edit to give these thoughts air.

Firstly, the level of braggadocio is worthy of Percy at his best. When Robert Plant was cock o' the walk he exhibited a similar slightly narcissistic hedonism as well.

Secondly, the use of musical motifs is very reminiscent of a rock band riffing away: though admittedly harmonically more complex unless that band happened to be King Crimson.

Lastly how obviously 'establishment' Tinie has become, and how he has made it into a positive thing. Maybe, when he's partied hard enough to give it up he'll make pipe-and-slippers music like Eric Clapton did so many generations before him; and like Mick Jagger, end up with a "K" and a country house, and lots of kids and righteously expensive ex-wives. But as of now he's the dogs b*****ks. I shall now return to my contemplation of Bartok's string quartet number three. And I don't care if it's just me.

It's swagtastic.

Yeah….and then some. But as I wrote in my erratum, the swagger seems suitable. It may be that Tinie will not make old bones, but I doubt he'd begrudge himself that.

But talent there is present, certainly.

The salvation of even a single sinner is a manifestation of infinite grace. Some will obstinately refuse this grace and thus find themselves absent from the Great Feast. But it is probably not left to us to speculate about which and how many these might be. :)

Yeah. Probably even the irritating Baptists will be saved. But before they are, can I dislike 'em just a little bit?

[pastorlenny.livejournal.com]

Baptists are utterly without hope. I doubt you find this nearly as assuring as I do.

Will check. Thanks.
