FROM CHAUCER TO SHAKESPEARE THE ANGLO HAS ALWAYS APPRECIATED A GOOD OLE FARTY-WARTY. IN THE DAYS OF KING HENRY ANGLOS FROM ALL OVER TOWN WOULD GATHER IN THE SQUARE WHENEVER A TRAVELLING SHOW PASSED THROUGH TO WATCH TH PUPPETEER ARTICULATE THE ASSCHEEKS OF HIS PUPPETS INTO REALISTIC FART MOTIONS. CROMWELL'S BIGGEST MISTAKE, HISTORIANS SAY, WAS HIS CRACKDOWN ON UNDERGROUND 'FARTE SOCIETEES', WHICH HE'D PREVIOUSLY OUTLAWED AS "LICENTIOUS". DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR THE BOYS ON THE FRONTLINES ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO THEIR BRIEF MOMENTS OF R&R, WHEN THEY COULD HEAR THEIR PROUD GALS BACK HOME GIVE EM A HEARTY BRAAAAP

I'll never understand people who try to claim that Monty Python is shite.

It's like shitting on the Beatles. Even if it isn't for you, they will have influenced so many performers that you like that shitting on them is in some small slightly removed way, shitting on those that you do like by proxy.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe.

Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Life of Brian in particular still holds up today as one of the best comedy films ever made

Beatles influence and succes was manufactured by the Tavistock institute to brainwash americans.

In a gigantic conspiracy that include: the jews, the queen, the pope and the study of psychology.

I completely agree. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

>American founding fathers

>"Fart Proudly" (also called "A Letter to a Royal Academy", and "To the Royal Academy of Farting") is the popular name of a "notorious essay" about flatulence written by Benjamin Franklin c. 1781

>an essay suggesting that research and practical reasoning be undertaken into methods of improving the odor of human flatulence.[1]

>It is universally well known, that in digesting our common food, there is created or produced in the bowels of human creatures, a great quantity of wind. That the permitting this air to escape and mix with the atmosphere, is usually offensive to the company, from the fetid smell that accompanies it. That all well-bred people therefore, to avoid giving such offence, forcibly restrain the efforts of nature to discharge that wind.

>The essay goes on to discuss the way different foods affect the odor of flatulence and to propose scientific testing of farting. Franklin also suggests that scientists work to develop a drug, "holesome and not disagreeable", which can be mixed with "common Food or Sauces" with the effect of rendering flatulence "not only inoffensive, but agreeable as Perfumes".

>>79495047
You could say the same about anything popular. Like Star Wars/capeshit.

>>79496033
Some things are pillars of influence.
The Beatles on popular music
Orwell on dystopian writing
Hitchcock on suspense in film.

This doesn't mean that because somethings popular, that its massively influential though. The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang was an incredibly popular track. Sold like fucking hotcakes, incredibly recognisable. I don't think people will be talking about its influence though.

Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially.

You know, people shit on Mr. Bean as juvenile or silly, and it totally is, but it was successful, occasionally genuinely amusing (mostly) silent comedy 50 odd years after the very concept lost relevance.

Abbot and Costello, and plenty of vaudeville actors did this exact joke years before. The only difference is that Monty Python did it in their r/atheism context.
