So, Rick decided, "Hey, someone made this documentary that was somewhat popular", let me shit all over it, because I don't like the name.

Basically, he spends (I assume, I couldn't make it through the whole thing) 10 minutes BITCHING because the name "Yacht Rock" is offensive, and that lumping all of these 70s soft rock songs together is some mortal sin.

Nevermind the fact that literally Toto and Christopher Cross are touring together this year, SPECIFICALLY because they have some of the same fanbase (although, the Men at Work thing is still a bit weird).

And his example of why this is offensive, is because Donald Fagen of Steely Fucking Dan, threw a hissy fit when the producer asked him to be interviewed for the Doc. A guy from Steely Dan, the cringiest, shittiest bunch of wannabe cool, jazzy guys is too good to be in documentary, because he doesn't like the term "yacht rock"? Well, there's a fucking surprise. He was probably huffing his own farts before he picked up the phone.

Fuck never was guys like Rick Beato, and fuck all these shitty musicians who think they're too good for their fans. I hope I never have to hear any of this fucking music ever again.

Except Jimmy Buffett. He was cool. Somehow he's dead and the rest of these fucks are still around to annoy me. There's no justice.

But whether people love or hate him, his list of interviews sort of speaks for itself. Brendan O’Brien doesn’t sit down for three hours with just anybody.

It might have not started out that way, but in the end Yacht Rock is just a way to package and brand the music. And guess what? It's worked great. I dont think any of the bands should be complaining because it's making many of them money and fans.

Never has one artist milked so much out of a shtick and four good songs (all released before 1980).
