Max has an interesting new musical documentary: YachtRock. (yes, really)

[hlthe2b]

I love all kinds of music (well, all kinds that have melody, so that typically excludes most rap), but nearly everything else. I don't really remember that this music of the 70s and 80s was called Yacht Rock, but apparently it was, later on--albeit having nothing to do with wealthy yacht owners. But from Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Toto, Kenny Loggins, Hall & Oats, Christopher Cross, Fleetwood Mac, and others through all of it, Michael McDonald--who did background vocals on nearly every major record during that time, this music--described as "sit-down dance" (LOL) made its mark. (and yes, I am fully aware of all the ridicule these performers and their music got over the years, but given Steely Dan is among the mix, I think they ought to "rethink."

At any rate, a hallmark song of this period is "What a Fool Believes" written by both Loggins and McDonald. See the documentary if you have a chance. Kind of a nice diversion from all the stress we are experiencing right now, I think.

1. The term "Yacht Rock" was first coined in 2005.

I think it's silly and most people would call this kind of stuff a "retcon."

This is not a musical genre.

2. Oh, please. I did not say it was a genre. I said I like all genres (ie., types of music).

That is really not necessary. I don't deserve your disdain or ridicule, it was a light-hearted post.

3. Watched It

A few weeks ago.
It was pretty good. I think their definition of yacht rock was awfully broad, but it's a light watch with some good interviews.
I wasn't at all unhappy I watched the whole thing.

4. Did you see Rick Beato podcast on it?

Fagan tells them f to fuckoff

5. Not really worthy of a comment, given Fagan's permission granted to use any and all of his music

belies your point.
