And that’s a good thing!!
Both Rick Beato and Ted Gioia have responded with a full court press rebuttle.
Highlighting how these pompous, IVY League as@h$les, made absolute fools of themselves.
Not one of them has any background in music. They aren’t qualified to even work in a record shop if any such thing even existed.
It’s worth reading Ted’s responses and Rick’s responses to the New York Times.
We don’t want these type of people in charge of deciding what is good art or not and cancelling artists.
I do believe one thing needs to be said that neither Ted or Rick highlighted. Maybe they know and weren’t willing to say it or it’s just obvious?
These are some Woke/leftists idiots who essentially called all white song writers basically drug/boozers with a guitar in their hands. Not only does Jay-Z not to deserve to be on a list with Paul Simon and Billy Joel, he likely does not deserve to be called a musician at all.
Ted’s response to the list by making his own list is behind a pay wall so I can’t share it.
But he made a public response to Rick’s video.
Rick Beato Versus the NY Times - by Ted Gioia
Your opinion on a piece of art must be informed. Understand something about structure. Harmony, rhythm and melody. And wouldn’t be a bad idea to have had some lessons in actually playing an instrument before you become a professional music critic.
These are the same minds that brought you borderless countries and Marxist Economics.
They are delusional individuals. If I ran a newspaper, I wouldn’t hire these people to be paper boys.
