Many years ago, and only once, I saw the comedy team of (I think) Tom Patchett and Jay Tarses do a mock sports report as if the Indians had defeated the Europeans and retained control of North America. It was hilariously rude and racist: "The New York Kikes beat the Chicago Polacks 17-5 last night, while the Cleveland Niggers got the better of the St Louis Wops 7-2."
Also the cornet player using a plumber's friend for a mute.
Also too at 0:51, when Keb' Mo' starts to snap his fingers, the suspense is unbearable. He's just barely behind the next beat. Wish I understood rhythm half that well.
Heh. Went back and listened for that snap again, and I think you're right. That looser, but somehow still right, time that some people have is amazing. Plus I can use that if anyone ever complains that I'm coming in late. [if I ever play in a duo or group again ]
Similarly, one of the backup singers on 'Graceland' says "… it sounds like we're singing off key, but that is how it is supposed to sound"
Deal with it!
And that's why "drum machines" create unbearable music: they play perfectly on the beat. I'd always thought this and was gratified to read in David Byrne's wonderful book How Music Works that he feels the same way.
