2 stage hot take.. Il Padrino is not the greatest movie ever made. It's also not Francis Ford Coppola's best movie.

A very under-rated film.
Indeed! And David Shire’s score is one of my favorites.
And Walter Murch's sound work is so good and such an integral part of the film. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Let's face it, he's a great guitar player, but his lyrics were bad and his entire persona was about sex.
He was great at a lot more than the guitar.
Yeah . . . I mean the guy wrote tons of hits for other artists on top of his own work. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

hot temperatures for too many months is just as bad as cold temperatures for too many months....a couple weeks into November with high 80's and high humidity is just not cool.

good music is good music....you and I clearly have very different definitions of the word "redneck". I think any father or someone that is old enough to have lost people in this life would appreciate much of my list. Finally, if you can listen to someone like Chris Stapleton and not "feel" the emotion in his voice and lyrics, then I would question your overall ability to appreciate any genre of music with any depth.

Prince's visuals were more an homage to Rick James than those guys. Just sayin. Prince has said Rick was a big influence. Sexual lyrics, facial stuff, etc.

I saw Chris Stapleton live a few summers back. Incredible singer, songwriter and performer. I agree with you, if you can’t feel his music, you need a doctor.

Manic Monday was about on par with The Bangles' talent. I like Hazy Shade Of Winter, but I'm not even sure if that's their own song. If so, it's their best written song, easily.(EDIT: It's not.) He wrote Nothing Compares 2 U for Sinead, which didn't have the sexual intent. Those were sound lyrics. Every artist has bad songs here and there. I think Prince's most heartfelt stuff were not his sex songs. Purple Rain and When Doves Cry. Controversy was a good early one about his identity. The Beautiful Ones is a great non-hit from PR 84 (shoutout to KB/CliffordBrown, we both like this one). From the sex category, Little Red Corvette is a clever music product.

I was never much of a fan of Prince. For me, he falls into the category of "Some good songs, but not my cup of tea." There's nothing wrong with that. I'd put Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and many others into the same category. I never had much use for Prince's on-stage persona.
However, Prince always struck me as a musical genius. His music was always interesting and often innovative. His weak spot was lyrics. If that is really such a bad thing, we should trash Elton John, who didn't write his own lyrics, and probably a few other superstars if we thought about it.

1. I consider redneck music to be music made by and/or for people who like songs filled with Huntin’ and Fishin’ and Fussin’ and Fightin’ (and a fear of the letter g on the end of a word like it was a Yankee) and good ol’ boys wearin’ shirts as loud and simple as they are, who persist in referring to their father as daddy. In other words, music you might hear coming from a jacked up ford pickup with a confederate flag on it.
2. I’m a father of four, but while I never took them to a tractor pull, taught them how to clean and eat possum from the side of the road, or married their aunt, I think I did ok. Granted, none of them have any interest in farm animals, nor do they call their grandparents pawpaw and mawmaw so you might disagree.
3. Chris Stapleton has an amazing voice, and like prince surmounting his lyrical lacks, sometimes his musicianship overcomes the genre he has chosen. But he should never do another duet with Justin Timberlake.
3. I might be yank(ee)ing your chain a little... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel
