That was pointed out many posts ago (see post number 4). http://www.myspace.com/twoshortrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jode Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Actually, this thread would have been even funnier if John Cleese had actually written that letter. That would mean that all those people offended by this letter had really allowed themselves to get their feelings hurt by a man who has made a forty-year career in the limelight out of being deadly serious about the utterly ridiculous. It would mean that he'd done his job extremely well, yet again. When you can't take a joke, you become the joke. In the words of Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis."

Phil W Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yes, Jode! . . . but what if they were only pretending to be offended in a subtle show of irony! Seriously, the half note, quarter note etc. nomenclature is so much friendlier. I sometimes even forget what crochets, minims and quavers are. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not aimed at a party or administration, it is aimed at the USA in general. That's when I first saw it over here - and it's had a few words changed (eg catsup for ketchup). First time I've heard John Cleese's name associated with it. G.

Rowbee Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 As musicians we should use more hemidemisemiquavers because the more ridiculously complex the piece of music is, the more enjoyable it is for the casual listener. Now theres three of you in a band, youre like a proper band. Youre like the policemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jode Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Se how much fun it is to type that many letters? It's even more fun to play a lot of ridiculously subdivided notes.
