Music

I listen to music quite a bit. I am not musically talented, and I have never really tried to be. For that reason I admire people who put the time and effort into playing instruments. I have no real critique on music. I like classic rock, indie, metal, alternative, county, etc. etc. I respect musicians and artists who do what they love first and worry about the money second. Pop music is filled with songs that sound, and are in many ways just regurgitations of other songs.

To some extent my take on music is a lot like my take on life. Just make what feels right, what you can be proud of, and something you enjoyed doing. Things will work there way out from there. Too often entertainment is simply pushed on us by some outside influence. I try to listen and then think about it.

Today most of our music is lyrical. This is probably different than the way music has been for most of human history. Before lyrics music was just sound. Open to the interpretation of the listener. Let your imagination take over. It is amazing how sound - put together well- can create such emotional appeal.
