Yea because you're talking about Television, which is really hard to manage in matters of how much money you could be making if instead of people talking you put stupid stuff that will generate, apparently, higher audiences. Through the evolution, internet brought us the possibility of selecting what source of information we will absorb. Because of that, you can watch this former generation interview, and realize 'hey, the world isn't that different from before, i can totally relate with what the artist says' instead of watching television. Nowadays you still have good interviews and good conversations from our generation if you really want to watch it. Just search them on the internet. :) And believe me when I say, the quality remains the same, or who knows, got actually better.

One of the most important American theatre composers of the early 20th century, he wrote more than 700 songs, used in over 100 stage works. 3:54 Richard Charles Rodgers was an American composer, known largely for his work in musical theater.

Paul Simon has since placed Paul McCartney at the very top of songwriters in the twentieth century, above Dylan, Lennon and Wilson. Dylan said if McCartney, “he’s the only one who truly amazes me”. McCartney is a true genius. No doubt about it. Simon is of course a fantastic composer, one of the elites.

Well, Brian Wilson is equal to McCartney, if not more talented. Pet Sounds is a true composition and world class songwriting. George Martin (Beatles producer) said: " If there is one person that I have to select as a living genius of pop music, I would choose Brian Wilson." Music of Pet Sounds is much more complex than anything McCartney came up with. Wilson knew his harmonies. This is not to say that McCartney wasn't wonderful (Lennon was great also). I would point out that Stevie Wonder had a huge talent. And Dylan is lyrical genius, but his chords and melodies are rather insignificant. True masters are obviously classical composers, but in the pop department Wilson is a rare case with his chord structures.

It's very revealing and, I think quite true, that Paul eschews the term genius when considering pop and rock artists and their music. Possibly there are some exceptions, but what happens is that popularity, market share and the glare of celebrity often shines up the creative side undeservedly. But to put anyone in these popular idioms on the same level as, let's say Bach, Beethoven, Mozart or Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus or Mary Lou Williams isn't nearly on the same level.

I'm afraid Paul got a glimpse of heaven (and some glimpses of heaven shine through gospel music). In comparison of heaven we're all bad musicians. The good ones won't even be accepted in heaven's choir. What about Bach? Ah, maybe.. God put this desire for real good in our hearts but indeed lots of money stops the desire. (Bach had to produce every week for a very week salary...! And he got never famous until hundred of years after his death) But still...focus on God and get some glimpses of heaven in your music is my goal. So good, so beautiful.

well it depends what is meant by "genius". all those 20th century non-rock songwriters are names I've heard, but I can't name their hits. i'd call paul a genius, regardless when this came out. not sure. but since then, his catalog has been absolutely amazing, and it's 2023 now. perhaps if i followed mccartney, which i haven't, i could give an opinion. dylan is certainly a genius, and that's just his 60's output, his 2nd and 3rd records, his 5th (bringing it all back home), highway 61, blonde on blonde, john wesley harding. extraordinary works, the basement tapes. van morrison, joni mitchell, didn't keep up, likewise randy newman, and gordon lightfoot. the S & G records are timeless, like the Everlys. it's all opinion. best cars, best ball players, all opinion.

@@aidanhenn2217 I would say both Kanye and Kendrick are geniuses but in different ways. I think in terms of actual musicality Kanye is more of a genius because he produces it and had influenced popular music so heavily, and Kendrick doesn’t produce his stuff he writes amazing stuff tho

It wasn't a coincidence that Simon wrote in Robinson to replace Roosevelt in the song Mrs. Robinson. It was during a conversation he had with Mike Nichols when he was performing the song Mrs. Roosevelt.

Back when talk shows were an in-depth conversation with the person, and they didn't have to worry about people changing the channel because there were only two others. Now everything's a bit and energy is artificially pumped up to keep things "exciting." Sad.

I'm a big fan of both of these guys but as a side note, you couldn't use the term "gypped", as Cavett does in this interview in this era. That is an ethnic slur against gypsies....

Geniuses at this time? Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Burt Baccarach/Hal David, Paul Simon. The recognition of how financial reward interferes with the creative process is part of what makes Simon an American legend. It seems the authenticity in his music is merely a reflection of him.
