Hugh MacDonald commented on Joanna Colangelo's blog post 'Steve Earle: An Urban Outlaw on the Low Highway'

"I enjoy Earle"s music, but I don't need to learn anything from him...if you are gonna preach to me, at least be worthy of my respect. Lots of people, especially musicians, live a less than stellar life, but they aren't blathering on…"

Hugh MacDonald commented on Rev. Eryk Pruitt's blog post 'Sins of the Perfectly Average -- I Hate New York (aka Top Ten Songs about Dallas)'

"Arlene is right. The worse thing about The City is the smell. So I don't go there much. But mostly people are pretty much the same all over, leading to the conclusion that this blog is the result of mean spirited gooberism."

"Can't believe this has gone to five pages, and Stagger Lee hasen't come up...even have a book about it somewhere. My favorite rendition is the late Jim Ringer's version, on his album with the David Bromberg band backing him up. …"

Hugh MacDonald replied to Hal Bogerd's discussion 'Most annoying song of the year?'

"Would have to say the most recent of any of the geriatric pandering "songs" of Garrison Keillor. (sp?) Hope he's not getting paid for 'em."

Hugh MacDonald commented on Terry Roland's blog post 'Jerry Jeff Walker: Dixie’s Bar & Bus Stop'

"Jerry Jeff rarely gets the credit he deserves. Notwithstanding all that "outlaw" balony, his songwriting and influence on others is unsurpassed. Kind of funny, we've seen him more since he "retired" than in…"

Hugh MacDonald commented on Erwin Bosman's blog post 'Wagner, Beethoven & Negro Folksongs, and … baseball'

"Thanks Erwin. My Mom, born on Nantucket in 1911, used to say Black people were better at music because they have an "extra beat" that we don't have. Always found that interesting, and would guess it came from a pre war island culture."

Hugh MacDonald replied to Hal Bogerd's discussion 'Anyone burned by a crowd-funded artist?'

"Kickstarter seems kind of lame, all the "inventors" want immediate funding to get their stuff into big box stores, which mosly means made in China. Not acceptable, at least to me. Other donations, like Music Fog's are returned…"
