Post a musical confession that may actually make you a bad person

[Orrex]

I'll start: I hate reggae. I've tried about a dozen times in my life to get into it, but I just can't stand it. I know that at its height it can be about as politically charged as any music out there, but I can't take the beat or the choice of instruments.

Am I a bad person?

Was I a bad person before this confession?


Share yours, please!

[TOhioLiberal]

1. Okay...

...given the enmity shown toward this singer, I figure it'll make me a bad person. So here goes. I like Celine Dion. :wow:

[deepthought42]

67. No, you're not a bad person...

*coughcough* I too, ahem, like Céline Dion. Listening to her music certainly helped me in French class! :D

Edit: I forgot to add the accent! *gasp*

[graywarrior]

2. Certain Jazz makes me want to put a gun in my mouth.

[Orrex]

5. In that case, you'd better stick with Uncertain Jazz

Damn, your subject line cracked me up royally. Nice!

[Orrex]

6. Or "Ah, yes--that would be the Hemmingway Sessions"

[graywarrior]

10. Whatever Whole Foods plays on Sunday's.

Fucking sets me off to go hunting for an unsuspecting victim.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

72. It had better be smooth "jazz" you're talking about, or I'LL put a gun in your mouth!

J/k, j/k, j/k!

:P

[Neshanic]

81. The kind that is all over the place, like some screeching. That Jazz.

[mitchum]

102. The kind that sounds like Ornette Coleman fucking a cat

I know exactly what you mean

[Redbear]

3. I like some of Justin Timberlake's stuff.

I'm so ashamed.

[Orrex]

8. Well, who else is going to bring sexy back? Nick Lachey? Puhleaze!

I hope that this catharsis has left you feeling purged.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

62. "Like I Love You"

is excellent as far as I'm concerned.

[enigmatic]

4. I can't get into Opera

Certain atrists (like Edith Piaf) I can listen to here and there, but on the whole it's just my thing..

[Orrex]

7. You're right--Andrew Lloyd Webber sucks

Oh, wait--you mean actual Opera.

Yes, as a storytelling medium, it's completely lost on me.

[enigmatic]

9. I've tried

I've played a bunch of stuff on my show from listener's requests, but it's alien to me..

[blitzen]

11. I only listen to Country...I have thousands of CDs, all Country...

I have no interest whatsoever in hearing any other kind of music.

P.S. I hate Bluegrass

[Nicole]

15. I like country too

but it's only part of what I listen to.

P.S. I like some bluegrass.

[SPKrazy]

17. What's Wrong With Country?

but I want to hear a lot of other kinds of music too

Bluegrass is fun

:shrug:

[blitzen]

31. Nothing wrong with it...I guess my confession is that...

I don't have much interest in any other style of music...That makes me me narrow-minded, and, I suppose, something of a bad person.

[Redneck Socialist]

103. Heh, I LOOOOVE bluegrass...

can't stand most contemporary country. :shrug:

I'm listening to bluegrass as I type this. :headbang:

[graywarrior]

12. O, and Reba. Listening to her sing is bad enough. Listening to her talk,,,

,,,makes me shove my fist down my throat. Looking at her is far worse.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. My favorite Reba cover is "Cathy's CLAYYYOWWWWN"

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[idgiehkt]

88. I will never recover from what you have just told me.

That is my favorite Everly brother's song EVER, and practically my favorite song from that whole era.

To even entertain the thought for a millisecond that she may have yodeled and howled through that beautiful tune...

:puke:

here they are with Dick Clark, the top ten at the beginning are interesting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGcBwaq1f28

[Orrex]

23. Gun in your mouth, fist in your throat. I'm sensing a theme

Something you'd care to share with us, graywarrior?

[Strawman]

70. Come over here then

I have instituted a Reba-free zone around myself at all times. No Reba with 50 yards.

[Arugula Latte]

76. I fucking HATE Reba!!!

:grr:

I hate her with an white-hot intensity that bears no relation to rationality. :shrug:

[leftofthedial]

13. I own more than on eToby Keith CD

if it helps any, I hate TK and I didn't buy any TK CD

[Pierre.Suave]

35. I have a Toby Keith themed away message on aim...

It goes like this:

"Toby Keith doesn't have to aim, he makes the toilet stand in front of him."

I was trying to get something going much like the Chuck Norris "facts" on the web, but it didn't catch on.

edit: and I HATE Toby Keith, guy is redneck as he can get, and a fricken hardcore shrub supporter.

[leftofthedial]

37. he's an ass

can't believe Willie did a duet with the guy

[Pierre.Suave]

52. I agree

he is an ass...

[Left Is Write]

96. I like Toby Keith's debut single from back in 1993.

I distinctly remember his debut, because I was working in radio at the time. Mercury Records did a "Triple Play" release tour featuring Toby Keith, Shania Twain, and John Brannen. Only Toby Keith "stuck" at that time (Shania's major success would come later, with her second album, and John Brannen disappeared into obscurity. I did like Shania's debut single, called "What Made You Say That").

Toby Keith's debut single was called "Should've Been A Cowboy", and I liked it.

[VenusRising]

109. I liked it, too.

It brings back good memories, so now I focus on the memories instead of the song.

F*ck TK for ruining that for me.

[momophile]

14. I can't stand Peter Gabriel

sledgehammer makes me want to kill. how could anything be so bad?

go ahead. hate me. try to put me on nukular ignore.

[graywarrior]

18. Hate that guy.

Sledgehammer is lame, not to mention a potential brain awl massacre.

[Orrex]

19. Then here's something that'll make you smile

My forty-something coworker has confessed that, until quite recently, she thought that the song was called Head Jammer. As my wife later wondered, how can one have lived through the 80's without absorbing the song's title via MTV?!?

[graywarrior]

20. Head Jammer is more appropriate.

[Initech]

24. I cant stand Genesis, period.

[Orrex]

26. That doesn't make you a bad person

Quite the contrary, I'd suggest...

[Initech]

28. True. Most people I know who like Genesis seem rather snob-ish in general...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

129. Really? Then, allow me to exercise my newly-found snobishness...

...go away, philistine. Genesis is for ENLIGHTENED people. Back to your crude tribal drumbeats. Shoo.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

74. "Sledgehammer" is fucking amazing.

Don't diss the power of the electronic shakuhachi!

:P

[EnviroBat]

93. One of the BEST songs ever written,,, EVAH!

[khashka]

138. Fascist monster!

How could anyone dislike the Archangel Gabriel?


Khash.

[Nicole]

16. Big Band

I don't like it. I wouldn't say I hate it, I can listen to it. In very small amounts.

[Pierre.Suave]

36. too bad

I LOVE big band, and most old Jazz in general.

tis great stuff.

[Nicole]

38. I think I just got burned out

I learned to despise Tommy Dorsey & Benny Goodman at a young age. Duke Ellington & Count Basie I could tolerate, a little.

[Pierre.Suave]

53. those are two of the greats

But, the wonderful thing about music, is that there is so much variety, there is something for everyone...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

75. OH MY FUCKING WORD.

*faints*

Not even Benny Goodman? Not even Duke my man Ellington?

No Ella? No Lady Day? No Satchmo? No "Wonderful World," "I've Got the World on a Strong," "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady"? Not even "Take the 'A' Train"?

How do you exist?

:P :P :P

[SeattleGirl]

22. I'm not a fan of Nirvana, which is enough to get me kicked out of

Seattle.

:hide:

[Initech]

27. Nirvana = most overrated band ever.

Dave Grohl seems pretty cool (and I really like the Foo Fighters), but Nirvana = :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

30. Cool! Would you write a recommendation for me, then, so I can

stay here?

[Initech]

33. Just listen to Queensryche.

A much better band that came out of Seattle!

[lildreamer316]

41. HELL yes!

SeattleGirl; for extra oomph; the lead singer of Queensryche was opera trained. He has a beautiful and powerful voice.
Looooooove their cover of Scarborogh Faire...

[jakefrep]

44. I hate Nirvana....

....and I'm sick of MTV and/or VH1 trying to turn Kurt Cobain's death into a "where were you when..." moment.

[KG]

46. oops

[Initech]

25. I hate musicals

Really, cant stand them. Go ahead, flame away! I brought the asbestos suit!

:popcorn:

[u4ic]

32. I'm with you, bud

:toast:

[aquaman]

45. Musicals were invented by satan.....

as a method of torture in Hell. Somehow, the concept got "leaked" to the common person on earth.

[Burma Jones]

79. Hear Hear.....

And I majored in theatre

I also played Pseudolus in Forum, Nicely Nicely in Guys and Dolls and Tevye in Fiddler.......

Once I did Shakespeare and Sam Shepard and Edward Albee, I couldn't stomach Musicals

[Xipe Totec]

83. I Love Little Shop of Horrors,

And Rocky Horror Picture Show.

:popcorn:

[Zookeeper]

87. With an exception for Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers....

I agree with you, EOO!

[izzybeans]

127. The Sound of Music made my ears bleed as a child. Not as bad as Grease, though.

;)

[crim son]

29. When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up and be able to sing

just like Olivia Newton John. :blush:

[Broken_Hero]

34. I hate the Blues, and Jazz...can't stand it....nt

[lildreamer316]

39. I don't like most rap.

I think the motivation behind most (not all) commercial rap is greed and is very mysogynistic. I understand that many young people from the inner cities and from all over had/have no other way of expression; but I don't like the trend and the many of the cultural norms that have followed.
I do like certain songs and a whole lot of old-school. I guess it's just an everything-in-moderation thing with me.
I can justify my position all night long; but someone invariably calls me a racist. It sucks; and I'm not; but I can't even approach this subject without people just shutting down about it.

For reference; husband is a dj and I am a dj in training; we are both heavily involved in the nightclub and adult entertainment club business and have been for years. The changes here are what we are most concerned about; along with other things in the business.
It would take forever and a day to explain.

[RoyGBiv]

40. Starland Vocal Band Rulez ...

RULEZ, I say!!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AX_bheJrdgM

Take that ear-worm and deal with it. :-)

Although, I think the bad person part would be reserved for me spelling the word as "rulez" rather than the (bad) taste in music.

[begin_within]

42. I own nothing by Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen, yet I do own a disco version of "Whole Lotta Love"

[Mary Tyler Moore]

47. The Boss.... pfffffftttttt

The boss of what? I can not stand Bruce Springsteen, I appreciate his dancing in the dark, but I would appreciate his silence in the dark a whole lot more.

[begin_within]

48. I think he's an east coast phenomenon... he never seemed that popular in California

[Arugula Latte]

77. Growing up in Cali., I tried to get into the Boss ...

I kept thinking: "Okay, I'm waiting for the musical magic to happen." ...

It never happened.

[BlameCanada12]

64. Most overrated artist EVER. EVER, I say. n/t

[Initech]

112. Only Springsteen I ever liked was the one he DIDN'T write...

That is "The Pete Seeger Sessions".

[rhiannon55]

141. The only Springsteen songs I ever like

are his ballads. His "noisy" songs drive me bananas.:silly:

[chknltl]

43. I hate rave music and have a deep aversion to it's beat

As a matter of fact I am quite neurotic about this and have been known to leave and wait in a cold van while my chums mingled inside a rave joint for a few hours. I am damn near phobic when it comes to that dripping water beat played so loud that it replaces EVERYTHING else. I swear I have no control over my feelings, hate is not even the right word here, it is something I feel which no words can describe but the bottom line is I will always remove myself from hearing that sound. Pile drivers have that exact affect on me too. If there is a hell that would be mine.

Call me a nut-case but a psychic person claims that my phobia here comes from a prior life where I was a slave on a rowing barge forced to toil away to a similar drumbeat. That person escaped from the barge but was recaptured and chained in place with the chains connected to a spike driven through his heel for added assurances to prevent further escapes. That poor guy drowned when the barge was sunk in a storm. That explanation is as good as any for me as I am not so fond of getting out on boats and I get nauseous even contemplating rowing one.

There: chknltl's deepest dark phobia and a possible reason for it, if you are into reincarnations that is.

[Orrex]

54. So, you're afraid of being a Rave Slave, is that it?

Do you have a similarly strong reaction to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" when you hear it?

J/K, of course! It's hard to figure out the source of our tastes, no matter how passionately held. I can't imagine why I dislike reggae; maybe I was the sheriff that Bob Marley shot?

[Initech]

58. Are you talking trance / techno? Then yes!

I hate that shit. I'd easily rank trance among my 5 least favorite genres.

[VenusRising]

110. Hi chknltl!

That's a very interesting story. And I don't think you are a nut-case.

You're a Truthseeker after all.

[eyepaddle]

49. I am SOOOO with you on reggae

The thing about music as a vehicle for a message, I can respect and support a message and still dislike the tunes. Bono et al, yes I am looking in your direction as well.

I used to think I liked blues--it turns out I was wrong abou that as well. To be fair though, Ilike blues if I'm at a bar and it's live, I also like most rock 'n' roll which is influenced by blues, but if I am driving in my car, well it just doens't spin my prop.

[azmouse]

50. I think John Lennon is over-rated.

He wrote some good songs but didn't have a very good voice.
I don't understand the almost worshipful attitude some have toward him.


:hide:

[mvd]

65. I think he's just as good or better than McCartney

To each his own, I guess.

[youthere]

51. I hate rap. hate it. hate it. hate it, but it's still better than Springsteen!

:hide:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. i hate most rap/reggae for lyrics.

a lot of the lyrics are homophobic/sexist. bothers me.

[NewWaveChick1981]

56. I bought a Bee Gees album with my allowance when I was 11.

:yoiks: But I ended up hating most of the songs on it, so I think that absolves me. :rofl:

[PVnRT]

57. I can't stand reggae either

And you know what? Bob Marley is vastly overrated and overexposed by wannabe stoner hipsters these days who think that wearing something with his face on it suddenly means you're in the "cool" club. Ditto for Jim Morrison and the Doors and Pink Floyd.

[rug]

59. "You Light Up My Life" is one of my favorite songs.

[carly denise pt deux]

135. mine too LOL

Carly

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

60. I love "If You Were Mine"

by Jessica Simpson. It's so damned catchy and the production is excellent. It's like the best 80s Top 40 song ever!

Please kill me. :cry:

[sakabatou]

61. I hate a lot of classical

I like classical, but there's a lot out there that I don't want to hear again.

[Initech]

63. Here's my 5 least favorite genres of music (warning - this may piss you off) :

1. Hardcore - :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

2. Trance / Techno / House - :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

3. Easy listening / adult contemporary - :puke: :puke: :puke:

4. Top 40 - :puke: :puke:

5. Gangsta Rap - :puke:

[mvd]

66. I don't like reggae either. Or rap, opera, death metal,

pure electronica or house music. I do like some mainstream country artists - even some who are Repukes. I like watching American Idol. There, a few confessions.

Though I'm not saying I have liked all of the CDs that came out of Idol. Here are some grades:

Diana DiGarmo - Blue Skies (D)
Fantasia - self-titled (C+)
William Hung - Inspiration (on merits - F, but it has novelty value, the way he charmingly tries)
Kellie Pickler - Small Town Girl (C+)
Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts (B)
Daughtry - self-titled (C)
Ruben Studdard - The Return (C-)
Justin Guarini - self-titled (F)
Kelly Clarkson - Thankful ( B- ) Breakaway (A-)
Taylor Hicks - self-titled (B+)
Katharine McPhee - self-titled (B-, a CD mostly for fans, unfortunately. As a fan, I might buy it.)

[mvd]

71. Oh, and I'd have to..

give Bo Bice's CD a C.

While I enjoy Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Hole, Stone Temple Pilots. etc., I never was a fan of the popular Rage Against The Machine.

[HughBeaumont]

68. Rage against the Machine bores the shit outta me.

Let's not even count their mook/frat boy slobberers ("U hav NO fuxxin music taset, azzhol! LOL!"); you'd be surprised how many supposed "mature" music fans literally want to hang you for even having such an opinion. It's sad, really.

Tool doesn't do much for me either. It sounds like Neurosis/Lysol-era Melvins-lite.

I don't get the Nirvana worship. Husker Du did this sort of thing way better.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers had one good album. Blood Sugar Sex Magic wasn't it.

So now that I've shit on the Mount Rushmore of the "required to like" 90s groups . . . guess that makes me a bad person.

[dropkickpa]

69. There isn't one genre of music

That I can honestly say I hate, there's something in every grenre that I like. But I HATE Nirvana (love Foo Fighters though), Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, and most of the "essential" 90's bands.

I LOVE me some Twisted Sister and Judas Priest, which some friends laugh at, but the vast majority of my friends actually are stoked when they hear they aren't the only ones who still like them.

I Wanna Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z80-4obRm94

*edit - What makes me a bad person is the love I have for Eazy E, woman hatin' violence glorifying and all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1bVkgEiiEg

[Redneck Socialist]

104. LOL! Thanks for the flashbacks

I love Twisted Sister. People may mock all they like, but if you ever saw them live you know that the put on a hell of a good show.

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[dropkickpa]

121. OMG yeah!

When I saw them, I left a sweaty limp mess and was still buzzing from the "high". VERY good showmen, the TS guys!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

73. I hate smooth jazz with a mad vigorous passion.

No, wait....

I hate REO Speedwagon, also with a mad passion.

Shit, I suck at this.

I listen to Steely Dan every single day, no matter what. Seriously. Literally.

:P

[Darth_Kitten]

78. My bird likes Tom Jones..........

& has been also known to chirp along to Black Sabbath.

[Burma Jones]

80. I detest any Folk Music after 1966

[Rambis]

128. Try this kate rusby

The sound isn't great but it might make you think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsEM7di3UH4

[dysfunctional press]

82. i once bought and owned a journey album...

the one with 'wheel in the sky'...

:shudder:

[1monster]

84. Okay. I actually LIKE Yanni and Barry Manilow...

:hide: :yoiks:

[carly denise pt deux]

137. I love Barry Manilow LOL

Carly

[Zookeeper]

85. I hate Grunge....

It's so damned whiny and mopey.

Shut up! Open the shades! Get a job....:+

[idgiehkt]

94. LOL

We were too stoned to do all that.

We wanted to, but no motivation. :rofl:

I loved/love it, but point taken.

[LostInAnomie]

86. I own almost every Master P album.

And, I do own EVERY Too $hort album.

:hide:

[Shine]

89. I know GreyWarrior is gonna freak out: but I just don't like Bob Dylan.

His voice and "singing" style annoy the hell outa me. Granted, the man's an incredible poet, but maybe that's what he should've kept to. Leave the singing to somebody else.

There, I said it. :scared:

[RevolutionaryActs]

90. I don't particularly care for Frank Zappa.

There, I said it. Ahhhh, I feel so much better.... until I get flamed, that is! :7



Mm, makes more sense if I add words. :crazy:

[EnviroBat]

97. Uhhh, I umm wha? What um I, I , I oh......

I loved FZ like a father, but it can be very annoying at times. You are completely all right...

[Left Is Write]

91. I don't think any kind of musical taste/distaste makes anyone a bad person.

Forcing ME to listen to bad music would make you a bad person! :P

[idgiehkt]

92. I think Sting is one of the most overrated entertainers ever.

Singer, whatever...wtf? I don't get it at ALL. The Police were okay as a pop band but Sting just ripped off reggae stylings and is so poseurish...bleck.

[EnviroBat]

95. Me sooooo solly....

But the Beach Boys make me want to DESTROY ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!
ARGHAGHGHRGAHGHRGAHGRHGg!

Thank you...

[mzteris]

98. I LOATHE Country

music. I grew up with it - the 'old country' stuff (Ron Wagner, June Carter Cash, those guys) - it just sounds simple. A 1, 3, 5, chord with sometimes a 7 thrown in - and that's about it. It doesn't take much skill or ability to "do country"........ it makes me want to throw up. It sounds like nails on a blackboard.

People equate Country with Southern and both with ignorance. cuz yew tawk lak yew dun fel of'n dat dere turnup truck. . yuk yuk (I grew up in Georgia and Alabama.....)



Not crazy about reggae either - I like it fine for a couple of songs, but after that - it all starts to sound alike and the drums start to grate on my nerves.



Also, I don't like Yascha Heifetz - his violin always sounded really whiney to me. Too high pitched and thin, if you know what I mean.

[mitchum]

99. I can't stand the way The Minutemen sounded...

and I also blame D. Boon for starting that whole wearing short pants on stage thing.
Lovely people with lovely politics, but...

[hippywife]

116. I think that might have actually been started by

Angus Young but, who knows, there might have been someone before that. :shrug:

[femmocrat]

100. I own several American Idol CDs. LOL

(Actually I got them for "free" from BMG... with the "buy one get 12 free" offers!)

[mitchum]

101. I can't stand the way The Minutemen sounded...

and I also blame D. Boon for starting that whole wearing short pants on stage thing
Lovely people with lovely politics, but...

[opiate69]

105. I ABHOR the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin...

And I think Bob Dylan should have never been allowed in front of a microphone.. awesome, awesome writer, but as a singer... :wow:

[Okiojira]

120. I'm with you on the Stones...

...what is the big goddamn deal?!? Mick Jagger is a decent enough performer, but a crappy singer!

Love Zeppelin, although the older I get, the more completely ridiculous most of their lyrics sound.

I think I've already stated my position on Dylan pretty clearly:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6105057#6123869

[driver8]

106. I don't like Radiohead.

There...I've said it. I - DON'T - LIKE - RADIOHEAD.

Any questions?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

107. OK hope I don't get flamed for this -I don't particularly like Barbara Streisand

And this is unusual because I like singers of her music genre. I think her music is highly overrated and I find much of it annoying

But can I clarify that I LOVE her passionate political activism and her uncompromising and outspoken liberalism. I greatly admire her for that

[SPKrazy]

108. I Used To Get Drunk

and put the go go's on and listen to them over and over

what the hell that was about I don't really know or remember.




:shrug:

[Zookeeper]

115. Well, they were always perky and cheerful....

maybe they kept you awake?

:toast: :pals:

[idgiehkt]

133. and sooooo coked up

their little video where one of the women masturbates on camera is quite interesting.

[VenusRising]

111. I don't like Neil Young.

His voice annoys me like nails on a chalkboard. I love the lyrics of his songs, but if he could get someone else to sing them I could enjoy it more.

[UncleSepp]

114. I feel the same about Bob Dylan.

Love the lyrics, but the dude sounds like Buckwheat.

[UncleSepp]

113. I have CDs burned by a former Nazi.

Mostly, they contain old German sentimental music. One has a picture on the cover of Blondi the dog.

[Orrex]

124. Uh, can we hear the backstory on that one?

I have CD's burned by a former Borders manager, but that's as controversial as it gets for me.

[UncleSepp]

126. Sure.

I did some translation work for a couple of friends who were corresponding with this fellow - he does a lot of work with historians and movie makers and so forth, but took the time to write letters with a curious 12 year old and a sweet young woman who just wanted to know a few things.

Anyhow, the CDs were given to me by one of the corresponders I was doing the translations for.

[Okiojira]

117. I'm not big on reggae either

same for blues, jazz, bluegrass....any of these genres work ok for me in a live setting. For example, watching a blues guitarist bust out a smokin' solo is cool, but listening to the audio alone bores the shite outta me.

[Frank Cannon]

118. "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks is one of my favorite songs ever

I am not even kidding.

[Okiojira]

119. While I don't hate Bob Dylan (I was named after the guy, after all)

I've never thought he was any kind of exceptional talent, though he's always had a knack for surrounding himself with exceptional musicians. Shitty singer (even during his prime, which for me is roughly 1974-1975), ok guitar/harmonica player, decent lyricist (though I consider his best lyrics to be on 1975's Desire, written in collaboration w/ Jacques Levy).

I loved Highway 61 Revisited as a young kid, still dig it today, but lyrically it sounds not dissimilar to the kind of stream-of-consciousness "poetry" I used to write when I was sitting around getting stoned in my late teens/early twenties.

Actually, what really gripes me about the whole Bob Dylan phenomenon is the breathlessly reverential way in which seemingly everyone - certainly every luminary in the music press - talks about him & his work. You can't mention the guy's name without overblown adjectives like "genius" being tossed around; gets really tiresome, in my opinion.

[Guava Jelly]

122. I like Avril Lavigne

:hide:

[The Flaming Red Head]

123. Ted Nugent

Hate his political views but I still crank it up full volume when I hear him on the radio

I know that makes me a bad person, but fuck it and I actually like to eat wild game too.

Two strikes against me, so hit ignore, I am incorrigible, yet I have never voted for anyone who

wasn't a democrat in my life.

130. How can you NOT like "Wang Dang Sweet Poon Tang"?

Or "Stranglehold"?

Or "Free For All"?

That's just good driving music.

136. Uncle Ted was my first concert I ever attended

I was in 9th grade, I was up front stage, he came swinging out on a rope wearing nothing but a loin cloth, I haven't been the same since :)

131. I used parallel fifths in my music theory final composition

134. I cannot handle Bob Dylan music, and I HATE newer country music

Dylan is too whiny, and for the past several years, country music is nothing but patriotic songs, and songs where the kid is dying, mama is dying, everyone is dying, I cannot handle it. Then there is Big n Rich........country and rap should NEVER cross dimensions.

139. I can't stand the Beatles!

Or Elton John, or Billy Joel, or Dylan, or Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd makes me want to slit my wrists!
