Music History Monday: Lending a Hand




Podcast | Robert Greenberg | Speaker, Composer, Author, Professor, Historian show

Summary: Before moving on to the main topic for today’s post, I would like to announce a new feature here on Music History Monday, something called “This Day in Musical Stupid.”<br> <br> I explain.<br> <br> As regular readers of this post know, I will, occasionally, dedicate a post to the shenanigans and sometimes plain old idiocy of musicians as they go about their daily lives and business. More often (far more often!) than not, such antics are perpetrated by pop, rock, rap, and hip-hop “artists”, but frankly, not always. In the past, if there is a topic of genuine import on a given Monday, I would ignore such events. In the past, I have only reported them when there was nothing else to write about.<br> <br> My thinking on this has changed. Why should I deny you the special pleasure that observing other people’s stupidity can give?<br> <br> Exactly. So whenever I can, I will initiate a Music History Monday post with just such a date appropriate event. Here’s today’s “This Day in Musical Stupid.”<br> <br> Keep reading - and join me - on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56982212
