Why is my Youtube still the same?

Cowboy swing is an oft forgotten genre which played an important role in the development of rock and roll, according to some.

I can't say I'm fond of it.

Depends on what you mean by "rock and roll". By the late 50s rock and roll had already been established. I mean hell, Buddy Holly was dead and gone and by then and Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry had already been around for several years.

Buck Owens and Merle Haggard had a much more lasting impact on rock music than that drivel. That's just soulless, emotionless overproduced crap with an uninspiring banjo lick and a rather dull drum beat. Even the content pales in comparison to the likes of Kris Kristofferson (Western artist, but still) or any number of Honky Tonk or country singers. When you consider that contemporary to that song you also had Buck Owens' "Second Fiddle", or Bill Monroe's "Sitting on top of the World", "Uncle Pen", or best of all, in my opinion "Wayfaring Stranger", or hell anything by Muddy Waters (Folk Singer was just a couple years away), it's understandable it would barely register as a blip on the radar.

I agree.

I was specifically thinking of Western Swing (in my normal inept mental meanderings). Rather than rockabilly. Of which Johnny Horton was decidedly substandard example in any case, imo. Did you actually manage to listen to it all, then?

Clear your cookies (or manually delete the ones relating to youtube if you don't want to lose other saved credentials) and you should wind up with the new youtube.

Look, it was the only reference I could make to Skwink's post. Get over it.

Back to spamming Christmas songs!

I most certainly shall not!

I may be breaking from the blues here, but I remember preforming this song in my Kindergarden Christmas concert.

I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus.

Dr Demento (OMG!!!). Sorry I couldn't find the classic Weird Al version...

I find Yiddish Christmas music hilarious!

Can someone explain to me what's going on with the youtube changes? I've heard they're trying to get users to focus more on channels or something, although I dunno why they really need to do that.

I'd like to say that rock was not defined until the 1970s. Thank you, goodbye.

Hence why I said it depends on what you mean by "rock and roll". "Rock" music certainly wasn't defined by 1959 as that would preclude the extraordinary formative, pioneering solo guitar techniques that were developed by the Three Kings of Blues guitar, B.B., Freddy, and Albert, in addition to the obvious Jimi Hendrix, Clapton (love him or hate him he was influential), Led Zeppelin (same as before), etc.

Is it bad that whenever I hear -

"Ew, the new Youtube is so gross! The old Facebook was much better!"

... I never remember what the old Youtube/Facebook ever looked like?

 

[warpus]

Don't complain, you're lucky. Mine changed and now there is a hideous huge white space on the right side because my monitor is too big -,-

I don't get how that design choice made it past QC. It looks really stupid.

 

[Mango Elephant]

How does it look stupid? It looks fine to me.

I just don't like that clicking on a video in somebody's channel immediately takes you into a playlist of all their uploaded videos. And I don't like how the new suggestions work, and I don't like the live feed, for the same reasons I hated live feed when it was implemented on facebook.

Otherwise it's just RAAAAAAAAH CHANGE!

 

[Mango Elephant]

Oh yeah, I hate the stupid playlist. It takes forever to find old Shane Dawson videos by scrolling on his page (unless someone else can tell me how to do it faster).
