Lines from Old Tapes that Come to Mind from Current Events

What about politicians?

there's no line about them there

Thanks for bringing Abie in.

Wanted to clarify. I would've "reported" the post whether it would've said

Kunda > Rotenberg

or

Rotenberg > Kunda

These giants are not comparable. They each own their own category, and should never be put side-by-side. It's like saying

Ice cream>rib steak

[AsherO]

Too preachy.

Too? NIME, e.g. Journeys 1.

Lol! Was wondering where that was going before you FTFY.

My autocorrupt was working overtime and I hadn’t had my coffee yet.

To clarify, I am specifically referring to the story tapes. Not Aish. Not Journeys.

You might be right because I don’t even think I’ve ever heard (of?) AR’s story tapes, that’s all SK is known for.

Reported. Can we get a mod to shut his account and stop this blasphemy?

As R' Kunda lived in CLE, your RTM has been denied

If Marvelous Middos Machine and The Golden Crown are not part of your knowledge base, can you really be opining on Jewish stories at all? I mean that would be like asking medical and halachic questions on DDF

Also notable is "The Lost Treasure," a sequel to The Golden Crown, that came out 25 years later.

Little known from Abie is a humor tape he once put out entitled "A Time to Laugh". Not the most updated humor (it came out more than 30 years ago), but Abie fans would appreciate it.

As with much of his work recently, this was a disappointment.

I would say that for MMM4, but I think that The Lost Treasure is a masterpiece.

I would assume that its only flaw is that it wasn't released when you were a child, so you don't have any nostalgic feelings attached to it.

That's definitely true, about the nostalgia.

(Not to make this an Abie thread, but the following releases were all arguably disappointing:
- Lev Vnefesh 2
- Dveykus 6
- Journeys 4 (arguably, I said!)
- MM4
- Aish 2 & 3
- Lost Treasure (IMO!)

Which basically covers his releases over the past 15-20 years.

Guess he's more focused on his literary career )

[gozalim]

even Journeys4 was preachy relative to its predecessors

You missed MMM #4, which wasn't bad btw

I agree with some (Aish, MM), and disagree with others (Lev V'nefesh, Lost Treasure).
Journeys 4 is one notch lower than 2 and 3, but IMO still better than every other Jewish music album ever released, besides 3 or 4 other albums.

[Euclid]

I included it (misspelled). But my point was that they're "disappointing" for Abie's standards.

[YitzyS]

Regarding Kunda, he definitely had some real highs and dips, but I don't know that it was dependent on "early years" and "later years".

Yeah Journeys 4 is hotly debated. Aside from a couple songs, I feel it to be a disappointment (for Abie).

I'm talking Lev Venefesh 2; #1 is solid. #2 is absolutely generic and forgetful. Like I need to remind myself occasionally that it exists.
