Steelhead -> Let's be frank about flamenco (Apr. 8 2016 21:16:44)

Admit it: None of us can stand the grotesque habit of making the voice go stark raving mad, in a manic jumble of violent gurglings and warblings, as if to boil down the beauty of Spanish music, turning its merits into something disgusting. Who can really bear to listen to one of these singers, unbuttoning his collar so as to wail louder? Who can tolerate the vocalist’s perpetual castanetting of the lower jaw when singing? Who can listen without annoyance to that furious whinnying with which the wretch shouts his head off for entire hours? And finally, what ears can possibly stand the continuous clanging of a bad guitar, and the ponderous weight of the right hand that slams down like a mace onto the miserable strings?
