So, i need to say something about music. and since I'm a bit sick of this topic, i may come across a bit heated.

I've seen a lot of people ranting about music lately. They all say the same thing. "Music is the same old shit redone by different people. All originality is gone." These people only have around five albums in their collection which are usually very generic. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Hendrix, etc. They're prone to weed induced rants on why music these days has gone so downhill that they stick to their old tride-and-trues.

My beef with these people (mmm, beef) is that their only way of listening to music seems to be local radio stations. If you ask me, anybody who thinks that they are going to hear anything original on the radio needs to wake up. The radio needs listeners and has to try and appeal to a broad audience. Half of them never seem to have considered trying some sort of satellite radio. Or Pandora...its free for gods sake. Personally I've found it to be a great way to discover new bands. Bands that are underground and some bands that aren't signed yet. Original bands? NO! do you realize the likelihood of there being some new original sound out there? With the amount of things that have been done in the past, the hell that comes with getting a band together that doesnt eventually want to slit eachothers throats over creative control, and then the seemingly impossible chance of getting that band heard by many, its a wonder ANYONE makes it.

And lets face it, a big reason why these people only want to listen to original music is so they can call themselves original. (As if getting high and listening to Pink Floyd is original) You want to know how to be original? Be the only person born in the past 50 years who listens to Helen Kane. Or if your into the more "evil" side of music, try Slim Whitman...that man is more terrifying than Marilyn Manson, Lady GaGa and Justin Bieber combined.

Or...and this is the most useful advice I can give...Stop complaining about originality and just enjoy music. There's a ton more out there than whats on the radio, and a great majority of it is some pretty groovy tunage. And for the love of god(s) and all things holy, try not to rant to everyone you know about "their terrible taste in music".......Especially me. (I'm gay. You can't expect me to have the best taste in music. XD)

and to anyone that says that singers today like Kesha and Katy Perry have become too slutty, need I remind you of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe?
