Guest Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Symptomatic of the American culture that steals from everyone else and creates nothing. Billie has a sucky taste in music, we already knew that. "99 revs is the best song I've ever written." That just means he has shit taste in his own music. No sane person could call The Clash "sucky".

Historically and demographically it makes sense that America is a combination of a lot of other cultures' ideas. Plus, every idea is inspired by something else along the way. It's not retcon. Billie has a bad taste in music but manages to write good music. I doubt he thinks his good songs are that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaïs. Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 When did he say that? Talking to Billboard about how it was the song that saved them. "After you write a song like that, it was like, 'I can't turn back now.' You can't all of a sudden say, 'I want to write a normal record.'"

UNICORN VOMIT Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 He was referring to making AI specifically as a normal record. Feel free to keep grasping at straws. Beat me to it. Funny though the interview talks about him writing it practically chronologically - is homecoming the exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, NimJim is just desperately grasping at straws as he tries to make an argument about Billie not being a good judge of his own songwriting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
