> Stewbeef, there was an awful lot of music at that time in > the early/mid-70's that had that general 'sound'. Like what. No there wasn't. Just because it is rock music and you compare it to rock music, there are differences. Really big differences is first, that Rocky Horror is a rock musical, which as opposed to a rock opera of the likes of Tommy, found its ability to be produced to an audience. Second, musicals were found on stages and not on films since ostensibly the 1960's with few exceptions. That it is a musical on stage is not unusual, but it definitely broke the ceiling for other musicals to be made into films. On stage, what differentiated it from other musicals was that it was as close to an opera as could be before being shelved in a filing cabinet as an opera. >Alot of > it you don't hear much anymore but it's distinctive when > you do because there's really nothing out there today like > it.

Jim has floating truths which start from some little lies, as he has shown and admitted before. He also has made inferable statements which exhibit his actual experiences. Plus, an awful lot of people really know the facts. They just aren't the ones who are saying them. The people who really know Jim, don't have any reasons to look at this debate and wonder who is right. Bill Wyman is one of them, who phoned Jim, as Jim told to me, when some guy was coming up to him saying he was the one who was in the movie. "What do you think I should do about the bloke?" Wyman asked Jim. Jim said, "Humor him". | |
