Meade has talent. People say he's Amatuer but he like gets paid for his music and he sells records. By definition, if you get paid for your music, you are professional. So hes not on a label, but that doesnt mean he's amatuer. Hes a great singer, songwriter, and piano player !


Just listen:

the coolest part of that clip was the tractor driving by. thats not saying much. sometimes i wish i was Beethoven. not for his talent but for his abilities-dis

We should organize a "Best Gig EVAR!" for his next "gig".

Two years ago people here said they were going to dress up like clowns and bring air horns to his concert at Jumping Java. Meade mysteriously got sick that day.

If he just didn't sign or play the fake piano his show wouldn't be that bad.

Isn't that his entire show? Singing and playing that silly piano?

Oh, I get it. His show would be pretty good if he just didn't perform at all.

I agree.

I was thinking that the "Best Gig EVAR!" could go something like this:

Everyone shows up early enough to ensure that nobody but BGE'ers are in the venue. They all seem really psyched about seeing his show, and cheer and hoot and holler when he takes the stage, and continues to seem enthusiastic for the first few songs, and then suddenly, at some predetermined point in his show, everyone just walks out of the venue quietly, leaving an empty venue.

The songs are the show. Meade has really cool stage presence and is endearing on stage to the audience. And thats a REAL PIANO!

It was over 100 degrees that day! People would have melted.

People put down Meade, maybe he's not their cup of tea, but Id like to see these same people sing and play piano. Meade can really do that, regardless. And hes actually just as good if not better than Lady Ga GA !

Then at least give yourself a 50% discount, as you only need 500,000 to hit gold.

Maybe for lesser artists it's 500,000. I'm raising the bar.

If Elton John hadn't hooked up with Bernie Taupin, he would have been a lot like Meade is now, I'll bet.

Even if he recorded only one, modest hit - which his existing body of work suggests he's certainly capable of - he could make a nice living as a regional performing artist (and obviously, he loves to perform).

What? Posing as various, anonymous fans on Fairfax Underground to promote Meade?

If Elton John spawned a child with Barney, it would be a lot like Meade is now.

No. Just stating my opinion. Saying that I think he could make a living as a regional performing artist is not exactly extravagant praise.

You yourself opined somewhere that you thought he might have a hit in him.

I have said that "Talk in Circles" could be worked into a hit of Meade (aka you) was willing to pick up and move to Nashville and actually try. You aren't going to succeed in music by playing flea markets and garden shows.

I was recalling a different post, then.

But actually, I'm Diner, not Meade. Or perhaps Meade is Diner. Although one rather doubts the anti-hipster Meade would talk about "deconstructing" a particular dish. (Although one never knows, do one?)

I don't think there's any place he would be considered a major talent, other than Bizzaro World, perhaps. But I do think even a modest hit single would give him the credibility to establish a career as a regional performing artist.

Meade's got a fan base here in Loudoun, he's quite a show man. You should check him out. A lot of his stuff can be compared to musicians like John Lennon or Randy Newman. I think you'll like what you hear.

Here, I'll make that comparison:

John Lennon: was a musician, had some hits back in the 60's-70's.

Meade Skelton: is a musician, is 60-70 pounds overweight.

OMG, I dont care for his music, but people really are lame if they say he has no talent. He does have talent, but the material will never take him anywhere. His songs appear to be of the novelty variety. And his only decent song is We Talk In Circles, and perhaps "Sweet Tea". These songs could be radio friendly. But if he is serious, he should pitch them to a famous artist.

BTW, He is not 70 lbs overweight. Have you seen his more recent pics?

Hey Meade, I know you're reading this....I was in Richmond last weekend and as I was driving on Three Chopt Road I saw a fat fuck with a little red helmet riding a bicycle. He looked completely retarded. Was this you?

Why are you looking at Meade Skelton's pecker?

To be fair, when Elton John was coming along, the music biz was 20x easier to break into than now. It was much smaller, and if you had talent, they would sign you. Today, you have to have been famous already before they will.

Meade has talent, and hes not bad looking, but if you dont have a large fan base, record companies wont give you the time of day.

Looks like Meade got a gastric bypass... That is truly unfortunate.

As far as talent goes, he does know his way around the keyboard and he has personality. Unfortunately the music he chooses to play has such an antiquated/ cheesy feel. Who can relate to that kind of music? It's like he is an 80 year old (wo)man trapped in a 30 year old man's body...

And there is the fact that his lyrics are either scary stalker like or nostalgic for a time/place that only exists in his mind.

Shocker... Meade Skelton can't find a job and is a Republican

"Oh its been nearly 2 weeks since I've had a glass of that sweet goodness. I am kinda going through withdrawal.I feel moody, cranky, and irritable. I'm retaining water. I feel puffy and not good about myself. Im really giving it up except for special ocassions, such as birthdays, major holidays, Republican fundraisers, funerals, etc. I just don't know if I can stay on the wagon . Ive been trying to replace my sweet tea with Diet Green TEA. It tastes awful, but it does help fill me up. I did lose 2 lbs this week as well. Not much going on lately. I'm still hunting for another part time job . I have tried almost every job I can think of off craigslist, but I never get a response when I send in my resume. I could go back to school. I did hear that this year J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College had a record enrollment. Maybe thats a bad idea. If everyone else is doing that, it sure soaks up the job market. What I want to do is go into business for myself."

I can relate to that kind of music.

Sweet Tea is a metaphor you ... (elaborate expletive deleted).

It is a metaphor for all the "sweet" things you yearn for in life.

Bernie Taupin would give his left nut to have come up with that.

All Meade needs is a producer and a band, and it's *hello^ yellow brick road.

I think a sweet tea shop could be a blockbuster business. Nothing but sweet tea. Just sweet tea.

He could have creative desccriptions for the various varieties and blends of sweet tea, like "bold and sophisticated" and "sharp and aromatic", or "crafted to evoke memories of sipping sweet tea while listening to Meade Skelton's tunes that are reminiscent of John Lennon".

Meade is nothing like John Lennon. His music reminds me of Leon Redbone with maybe a touch of Jerry Jeff Walker. His voice is okay , but not great.
The only shot in the world he has as Ive said before is if someone famous records one of his tunes. He could make some royalties from it. And possibly even tour with them or open up for Kenny Chesney or whatever. Other than that, he'll be stuck in Richmond making smoothies the rest of his life.

When I listen to his music, I do feel that way. I feel like an ambiguously gendered geriatric, that sits and stares out the window at a tree, wishing I had somebody to tell stories to about my "Glory Days"...

Thats just silly. We Talk in Cirlces is fairly contemporary. Sweet Tea has a unique folky pop sound with all that piano in it. So what if its not like Hard Metal? Thats whats corny, IMO.

If you like Meade you'll really love this guy

For want of a nail the shoe was lost;

So, yes, all that "fanfare" for an erroneous space is indeed warranted -- indicative
as it is of a weak intellect; not to mention your response, indicative of a proud mind.

Combined as they lamentably are in your person, these two things plainly obviate
any authority you might have to pass judgment on the talents of Meade Skelton.
Or are you now a music critic, in addition to your many other "achievements"?

Stick to Monk and his drug-addled, so-called "melodies," and labored keyboard stylings
("bad" and "technically inadequa[te]," per Down Beat), sweet only to beret-goatee
cultists of a certain age.

I prefer the polished pianistic technique of Meade Skelton (which even the hipster
Mephisto has averred he is envious of), and his melodic inspiration -- sometimes
nostalgic (Sweet Tea), sometimes postmodern (We Talk in Circles), but always
delightful.

Good luck with your life, Mr. Tuttle.

You will need it.

http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

From urbandictionary.com:

1. Meade Skelton
Alt-Country/Pop Singer-Songwriter b. April 8th, 1979

Meade Skelton is a native of Richmond, Virginia who started writing and composing music at an early age. Known in school as a "stand out" and an "outcast", Meade used his quirky personality to invent such songs as "They Called Me Porker", and "Nicole, Will You Marry Me?"- a song he wrote for actress Nicole Kidman. Meade Skelton is also known for his frequent battle with weight, and he appears heavy and then thinner in most publicity photos. The youngest of 5 children, his parents were amazed when at 3 years old he began playing the piano and singing.

Meade's mother died when he was 11 years old. He grew up in Loudoun County, Virginia, and then at 18, moved to Richmond- his mother's hometown where he soon became involved with the music scene. Meade is also known to have an affinity for krispy kreme doughnuts. He's also a Southern Baptist.
Meade Skelton is a Singer Songwriter from Richmond Virginia.


2. Meade Skelton
Meade Skelton is a Richmond resident who posts praises of himself under aliases in numerous internet forums. A self described artist, is usually ridiculed for being narcissistic, unimaginative, and untalented. Meade Skelton has been laughed out of forums for years.

3. meade skelton
Severely overweight/obese country singer who trolls countless Internet forums with delusional and self-promoting comments. Commonly refers to himself in the third person. Again, is very fat. Almost certainly a homosexual. Has a dead mother and lives with his father, in his basement. Stands 5 feet 7 inches but claims he is "not short."

Penned the hit song "We Talk in Circles," reportedly while binging on twinkies and M&Ms over a three-day period.

OMG that fat guy trolling our board is totally a Meade Skelton.

Care to explain how my response is indicative of such a thing?

I find it interesting that, instead of addressing the ideas in my post, you are fixating on a typing error.
Is that indicative of your lack of desire for honest discussion?

You are putting words in my mouth again, dear Gulligan. I was merely expressing my opinion on the type of music he CHOOSES to play. I believe he has the abilities to play great music. Unfortunately, he seems to be lacking inspiration.

I am a Horned Lizard farming, music critiquing, doctor that can't type good because I can't think good...
Yeah, I know the above sentence isn't grammatically correct... I'm hoping your nitpicking, "troll" ass attacks it.

I wonder why it bothers you so much that people don't like Meade Skelton... You don't like Monk and it doesn't bother me at all... Why do you feel such a strong impulse to defend him?

Well, I like him since Mephisto likes him... Meade is GREAT!
I don't like his music! I thought he was great on Conan! I think he would be a better author or television personality. If that makes me an idjot, then I'm an idjot!

Don't we all?

Personally I love Meade skelton's music. I burned DVRs and left them in every shelter we passed on the Appalachian Trail this summer. Spreading the gospel and the love for the Skelton. I think of myself as a Johnny Appleseed of Meade. Next summer Im following him on tour as a grateful dead head like presence in the parking lot selling grilled chez at all his concerts.

Dude...... Thanks for the DVRs... I must have been just a zero day or so behind you... We used Meade to keep the shelter mice out of our food! Awesome!!! Who knew that even mice can't stand his "music"! When I get down past Rusty's place I bet they will keep the bears away as well! Best trail magic this trek. Thanks again!

How many more people will die because of the "little" mistakes you choose to glorify?




Portal of discovery, indeed.

You are a sick man, Mr. Tuttle.

You superficially acknowledge your mistake, while in the same breath seeking
to trivialize its gravity.

Such rank duplicity can be rooted in but one thing:

Pride.

It was said of the Titanic: "God Himself couldn't sink this ship."

Proud words. But for the chronology of events, one might imagine they were
spoken by Harry Tuttle!

And yet the Scripture teaches: Pride goeth before a fall.

Thus prophesying the Titanic's fate -- and so too that of Harry Tuttle?

There could be no clearer indication of dishonesty - of the grossest and most
despicable kind - than this ludicrous remark.

Only the worst sort of reprobate would, like a rabid dog, bite the hand
extended to him in friendship -- the hand that sought to lift him from the
moral cesspool in which he was trapped.

Well, that is your choice, Mr. Tuttle.

And now you will have to live with it.

Which is it, Mr. Tuttle?

straight, can you?


Harry Tuttle Wrote:

The relevant question is why do you feel such a strong impulse to attack him?

While I am not in a position to offer a clinical diagnosis, I daresay homosexual panic
may explain the strange mix of feelings you exhibit toward Meade Skelton: aversion,
if not contempt combined with highly intense (albeit perverse) sexual fantasies
("he is an 80 year old (wo)man trapped in a 30 year old man's body"), not to
mention remarks indicative of outright psychosis ("I am a Horned Lizard").

No kiddn, We his music to keep the kids on the street from playing in our yard. We play Sweet Tea and the kids going running like there's a rabid dog in our yard.

One kid actually thought it was an injured dog.


Thanks Meade!

That is up to our Lord don't you think?

If you choose to search for negativity, that is what you'll find, Gulligan. All the knowledge you hold in that superior brain of yours was made possible by the mistakes of others. Some of those people are still with us today.

As tragic as the miscalculations you referenced were, some good did come from them. Do you truly disagree?

I wish I could take the credit for that statement.

I think you are doing the tragedies of the Titanic and the Challenger a disservice by even comparing them to a typo. Though I find it amusing, I can't help but notice that you are a sick (wo)man yourself.

Do you think Meade Skelton is proud of his polished, postmodern hit, "We Talk in Circles"?

Or his timeless classic, "Sweet Tea"?

You sought friendship by calling me "elaborate expletive deleted"?

I think I'll manage without your friendship, Gulligan. You verbose, super-villain.

Well this one's easy! You can have all the technical skills and ability required to play great music and still be a terrible songwriter. It's not too late for him to improve his songwriting skills, though. Maybe one day he will write a a beautiful song that everyone will love. Until that day, however, the only hope he has of playing good music is to play songs written by someone else.


> The relevant question is why do you feel such a
> strong impulse to attack him?

I'm sorry if I hurt the delicate feelings of Mr. Skelton, but my intent was not to "attack" him. I was expressing my opinion about his music. I was also searching for someone to explain the appeal of his music, which elicited the wrath of Gulligan. Don't think I didn't notice you avoiding my question by flipping it on me. It seems like this is very one-sided, Gulligan. Why do you "attack" me instead of answering my questions?

Haha! I love out of context quotes... While I have spent a few nights pounding my Tuttle to that picture of Meade and his bathing suit, I find Scat porn and Granny gang-bangs more rewarding.

What's up with "gulligan"?

Is he Meade's boyfriend?

I don't know, but I think this is his weird way of courting me...

At least, I hope it is...

Yer just jealous and have bad taste.

> Yer just jealous and have bad taste.

Jealous of your Mom driving around a 29 year old male who can't get a job and thinks playing an electroinc keyboard in parking lots is a way to live life?

Obligatory musician defense post:

I will say that Meade obviously gets a lot of satisfaction about what he's doing with his life, and I know a lot of people doing a lot more that are nowhere near as happy as he is. Maybe it's just that ignorance is bliss.

At the very least, he's getting out and performing his own original music, which not everybody can do. His ability to play and sing should not be called into question; even though I really dislike a lot of his music, he has talent. He just has absolutely zero business sense.

A lot of folks are just jealous. They wish they had half of Meade's talent. He is very talented and gifted.

I design all the promotional art and album jackets for Meades, I am also his photographer and travel companion. I book all his shows and guest appearances. We need a hit.
The sex ain't that great.

I concur.
