In less than 24 hours the term "gentle" has caught on in countless posts/threads like it was an already established genre (or is it?). And as far as I can tell, it's just music in any category that isn't abrasive. By Wednesday I fully expect somebody to start posting a "gentle" music mix (it's probably being burned as I speak).Just sayin'. In the words of Arkansas Red, I ain't crackin', I'm just FACKIN'.

Gentle is for those who know the true and the real.
Sealed Neil Young On The Beach is gentle. I'm having grippers remorse and it is making me feel less gentle.
I'm stubborn, and yet passionate. Ladies, pour some gravy on me, my name is Rice.
when I think 'gentle' I think of, say Roger Nichols & the Small Circle of Friends
'On the Beach' isn't gentle, it's a total downer.
there's a difference.
does your mother know you talk like that?
what about that Curt Boettcher ish?
gentle enough?
that's as prancey as it gets!

I like some pretty swishy stuff, but I've never been able to get into Millennium and Sagittarius and all that. It's not terrible though.
this girl I was flatmates with had a Canadian boyfriend who was waaay into the Millennium.
he walked really swishy, but that may have just been because of his tight hipster pants.
he was also a wimp who blowdried his hair & was afraid of housepets, driving, germs, you name it.
this created a bad association for me w/ anything Boettcher related.
he also liked that Colin Blunstone solo lp.
what about the Left Banke?
gentle?

hahahaha!
I will ride for both Colin Blunstone and Left Banke.
I have a foot in both worlds.
I don't blow-dry though, anymore.
there's obviously a fine line between 'gentle' & 'wimpy'
tread carefully there friend.
HE WAS GENTLE
NO BRUCE COCKBURN???
MY COCKBURN HAS HEAVY RING WEAR
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He would have been executive producer on all CTI product.
then theres Gentile.
then theres Genital.
Perhaps. Then there's Jennifer Lopez and Thalia with their new duo, Jenny Thalia.
Please, stop this madness.
