TCR and Prime Guy discuss Steve Winwood

[Guest The Czech Republic]

In my first encounter, I told him that "Valerie" was written and recorded psat Winwood's "prime." He said "that guy doesn't count he's not well-known." I blocked him, and now more of that, joined in progress.

 

sylea220: and i will forever shut up about prime

ChicagoLoop979: Every fucking poster at TSM has disproven you!

sylea220: but that has never been done before

sylea220: give it a shot

sylea220: nope

sylea220: they've tried, but failed

ChicagoLoop979: Yes they ahve! I have!

sylea220: nope

sylea220: i asked you for mainstream names

ChicagoLoop979: Steve Winwood is mainstream

sylea220: and you have failed to provide them

sylea220: nope

ChicagoLoop979: see? You're copping out

sylea220: no i'm not, he is not mainstream

sylea220: just like Benoit isn't mainstream

ChicagoLoop979: oh yeah, Steve Winwood, big underground name

sylea220: underground, but not mainstream

ChicagoLoop979: okay you're dumb

sylea220: try to disprove me with a mainstream name

 

blah blah blah

 

sylea220: on TSM they listed wrestlers

sylea220: not no name randoms who aren't mainstream

sylea220: and the wrestlers they listed, they couldn't disprove the concept

sylea220: they tried though

ChicagoLoop979: like who? who's a no name random?

sylea220: Steve Woodward

sylea220: or Chris Benoit, or Eddie Guerrero, or even Kurt Angle

ChicagoLoop979: Steve Woodward????

sylea220: nobody knows who those guys are if they don't follow music in Woodward's case

ChicagoLoop979: that's not his name

sylea220: or wrestling in those 3 wrestlers cases

sylea220: right

sylea220: i don't remember his name

ChicagoLoop979: Steve Winwood, from Traffic

sylea220: because he isn't important

sylea220: if he was important, he would be mainstream

sylea220: Sammy Sosa is mainstream

ChicagoLoop979: "Valerie" was a hit in the 80s!

sylea220: everybody knows who he is because of the mcgwire/sosa chase from 1998

sylea220: so?

sylea220: that just applies to movies

sylea220: is it mainstream?

sylea220: is it discussed now

ChicagoLoop979: yes!

sylea220: nope

ChicagoLoop979: It's on the radio a lot here

sylea220: not on national websites

sylea220: or on broadcast tv

sylea220: forget about that guy

 

I just love how me and Prime discussed Steve freaking Winwood. or Woodward.

Who the fuck is Sammy Sosa?

[Guest DrTom]

Some guy who corks his bat.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

Well, that clears that up then...

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Who's Steve Woodward?

[Guest DrTom]

I think Prime can go fall of a cliff, but I do have to say that Steve Winwood isn't very mainstream. He hasn't meant dick to the music scene since the mid-80s, and how much he meant then is questionable.

[Guest Mole]

I've never heard of him.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Prime also said Wayne Gretzky was lazy.

As a solo artist, Steve Winwood is primarily associated with the highly polished blue-eyed soul-pop that made him a star in the '80s. Yet his turn as a slick, upscale mainstay of adult contemporary radio was simply the latest phase of a long and varied career, one that's seen the former teenage R&B shouter move through jazz, psychedelia, blues-rock, and progressive rock. Possessed of a powerful, utterly distinctive voice, Winwood was also an excellent keyboardist who remained an in-demand session musician for most of his career, even while busy with high-profile projects. That background wasn't necessarily apparent on his solo records, which established a viable commercial formula that was tremendously effective as long as it was executed with commitment.

 

"Back In The High Life" is daft.

All I know is that Prime Guy is the same boy he used to be.
