The Tracy Chapman Effect

[ms_ann_thrope]

Music plods along and then all of a sudden, wham. Tracy Chapman. Who else?

 

[girlsmiley]

She's amazing.

IMO one of the best female singer/song writers of all time.

Who else? Hmm.

On the way home the radio played Talking About a Revolution, Midnight City (M83), and Rockin' in the Free World. Hell of a set.

She just stands there with her guitar and tells it.

Well Hell, she's a little large for a strip show.

Dude.

Wow. Really? You're going to double down on the whole superficial physical appearance over actual talent thing?

That's SO clever and hilarious.

I think Tracy was influenced by Joan Armatrading. She wrote some great music, like Love and Affection, Show Some Emotion among others.

I've been a fan of both women for a long time.

Oops. Wrong account. Poke James.

She's freekin' awesome....not that big under those baggy clothes and most important classy and talented. When you are still enjoying an artist years later...that's talent in my opinion. I think she's timeless and original.

One hit wonder...

 

[Bert Notorius]

it's that voice warble thing she's got going on.

This is the "Tracy Chapman Effect" thread, not the "Beco's Mom" thread. Mmkay?

So you pretty much wouldn't listen to Frederick Fucking Chopin?




The first time I heard The Doors, Light my Fire, on the AM, music changed for me forever. FM would not be around for several years yet.

I worked INXS and RHCP on their first national tours...




I tossed Tesla out of Kemper at the request of Def Leppard.

​

At Jean loves Jezebel, I hung out on the upper back balcony of the Uptown with the gay kids and got stoned...

Did you have to wear one of those boxy, red hats?

Oh no. I was one of the polo shirt muscle guys...


If you tried to get on stage, I was the one who took you in back and roughed you up before giving you to the cops.

She has a great smile.
