Karen Carpenter - The Drummer

Back


This is a video showcasing Karen Carpenter's undeniable talents as a drummer. For those who aren't aware of Karen's involvement with the drums, let it be known that they were her first passion and came before she began her career as a singer. Karen's drumming can be heard on many tracks on several Carpenters albums. What's also most notable about Karen is that she sang and drummed simultaneously... her singing never hindered her drumming, and vice versa... she never ever hit a sour note or missed a beat. An extremely small amount of people can profess to having such a talent. "She was a 5'4 tornado, pair of drumsticks in her hand".

I like the lyrics of the song that comes at the end of your video. What is the name of the song and whose singing?

My favorite version is the one thats on the 1976 Live at Budokan show. If you haven't seen that yet, check it out.

A 19-year-old man in Florida committed suicide live on the internet as hundreds of web surfers watched - taunting him and offering encouragement. He announced his intention on an online forum, posted a suicide note on another and then took an overdose of pills in front of his webcam, broadcasting his final moments while other forum members egged him on. You want to kill yourself? one said. Do it, do the world a favour and stop wasting our time with your mindless self-pity.

(Anyone who could encourage this is a monster.) As he lay on the bed after taking the pills, many forum members continued to insult him, believing that it was a hoax. Last year a British man hanged himself live on webcam. His suicide was witnessed by about 100 cartroom users. He killed himself after being goaded in an insult chatroom. One of the users is claimed to have told him: F***ing do it. Get on with it.

According to one charity that works to prevent suicide, there have been AT LEAST 17 deaths in Britain ALONE since 2001 DIRECTLY involving chatrooms or sites that give advice on suicide methods. Geist632 YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED & TAKE THAT BACK
