Crazy Conservative Uncle

Everyone has a crazy conservative uncle. Sometimes more than one. Could be an aunt too. As a kid I remember having some crazy conservative uncles around but things were different back then because you really only had to hear their crazy rants or have to put up with their obnoxious pontificating at occasional family gatherings. Things are different now because they have our email addresses.

I'm talking about the constant flow of forwarded right wing rants, racists blather, and general hatred for fellow Americans that regularly appear in my mailbox from relatives that are trying to educate (brainwash?) the younger generation in conservative values. These things really took off during the 2008 presidential campaign in my family. All throughout that time period anyone with an email address was subjected to the newly discovered Internet by some of our elderly relatives who were on a mission to avoid what they thought would be the end of their world if Barack Obama was elected president. There has been a steady flow of forwarded emails on a large variety of topics usually describing urban myths, computer viruses and political conspiracy theories along with the usual outright lies about President Obama. Occasionally I would respond with the documented description of the falsehood from Scopes or another fact checking website. Sometimes one of my cousins' children would respond with a spirited denouncement of the obvious lie or misinterpretation of fact. However, the thing that bothered me the most about these emails was the mailing list of young people. People in my extended family that should be looking to their elders for wisdom but finding their email boxes filled with lies and hate.

Did I say Tea Party yet? The picture here is a typical tea party folks gathering to attack the government and complain about government spending. The crazy conservative uncle is a tea party person collecting Social Security and Medicare.

I've decided to devote a part of my blog to responding to these emails. Yes, every time I get one of those obnoxious emails I will post it here and comment on it. I was already going to be commenting on politics as part of my 60@60 blog but now there will be a section specifically called "Crazy Conservative Uncle" and I will invite all those who receive the emails to come here and read my response.

I just got another email about Soros funding Snopes. I'm going to have fun with this one but that will be for later.

60 Albums 2011

My personal favorite albums from my collection for 2011. These selections are based on my listening habits for the year and the higher ranked albums were the ones that I kept coming back to over and over.

Once again I couldn't stop at 60 but forced myself to end the list at 120. Bon Iver tops the list which also topped many people's end of the year list of favorite albums. I can't stop listening to it. I loved his first album but this one moved way beyond the song into pure sound. The War on Drugs was a close second for me. It sounded like so much that has gone before it but also utterly unique.  Fleet Foxes and Wilco both put out wonderful albums this year. I really liked the Jesse Sykes album which was very different than the previous album. This one sounded very California psychedelic retro... sort of like Moby Grape with a female singer. The California sound from the 70s is all over this list but especially the new Dawes album. The Radiohead album was another surprise that I kept on repeated play. The more I played it the higher it rose on the list. Most of this stuff is fairly mellow but... I'm 60 now.

60 Albums 1976

I stepped back a year to 1976 which of course was very different than 1977. I was in college and living in the Germantown section of Philadelphia which at that time was all about the funk. Parliament and Funkadelic was happening and disco was already becoming too mainstream to be cool anymore although Saturday Night Fever was just around the corner. We also had the very beginnings of what we would know as punk and new wave with the first albums my Blondie, Ramones, Patti Smith and the classic Modern Lovers which was actually recorded in 1973. Little did we know where things were heading.

David Bowie was entering his Thin White Duke period and this album really blew me away. Was this my all time favorite Bowie album? Not hardly. He had many great albums and this is another one.

Reggae was becoming a big part of my collection and we were going down to South Street to regularly see live reggae acts perform at Grendel's Lair. I was also getting into dub and loved to play it at house parties. Freaked people out.

That Joan Armatrading continues to be one of my all time favorite albums.

60 Albums 1977

My favorite 60 albums from my collection released in 1977. A lot of people say it was one of the greatest years for rock music. I certainly had my favorites. I was in college at the time and spending a whole lot of my income on records but I still collected a lot that year.

It wasn't just about the emergence of punk and what would soon be known as New Wave. For me it was also a continuation of my exploration and emergence in reggae and jazz. This list probably has my largest number of reggae albums of any year. There are also many albums that one would see on other 1977 lists that don't appear here at all. Oh well. This is my list of favorites and I wasn't listening to Billy Joel and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

60 Albums 1982

My favorite 60 albums from 1982. In general I have not agreed with the common perception expressed by some people that the 80's was a bad decade for music. Like every other decade there was plenty of great music and lots of trash. This list of 60 albums released in 1982 was a little more difficult putting together. There a plenty of great albums to make a short list but 60 was a challenge within my criteria for inclusion.

I was very much involved in the music in 1982. I worked as a DJ, booked local bands in a club, hung out in record stores and bought lots of albums. This is also the year that MTV and music videos in general started making a big impact on the music scene. It would be a few more years before we started getting cable and the only place we saw the new videos was in some bars. It's hard now to imagine that there were some bars that had TVs showing MTV over the bar.

I picked Marshall Crenshaw for the top spot because this first album of his has stood the test of time in my world. I saw him touring with this album and I have seen him touring recently. This album led me to be a lifelong fan and I have over a dozen of his albums. This particular album is timeless with a great collection of pop songs. I still listen to it.

I also often still listen to my number 2 which is another timeless album full of great songs as is the number 3.
