On long car trips I listen to pop country sometimes. I heard an awesome song in the last year or two called "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off". It
was some funny ass shit.

And are you really supposed to connect with 95% of people, anyway, or do you base your connections on music and just music alone? Wouldn't that be like saying you only will be friends with people that only like pepperoni pizza? Why is that so disturbing to you? I mean, I live in a city of 200,000 people, and I don't really expect to enjoy hanging out with 190,000 of them.
Fuck, that last 10k is too much, and I'm not basing my friendships and associations on music taste alone.

I went to a Widespread Panic concert last week and there was TONS of hot chicks and little to no wooks. Of course this was downtown San Diego. It was pretty
fun. Herring fucking rips on the guitar by most anyones standards.
Dave Matthews's riffs are fairly complicated and hard to sing over. At least they used to be back in the day. I dont listen to either band(other than one panic show a year)but I dont think either band is anywhere NEAR the root of all evil. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are.

I liked DM in high school. His first album was pretty good. I cant say I have listened to anything hes put out in 10 years. But he has some giant fingers or
something cause his riffs were hard.
edited to say I really do think hes a giant douche but I was trying to like..make a point or something. |

There was some article awhile back, I think it was in the New York Times (I looked for it real quick but couldn't find it), that explained music as
triggering a verifiable chemical process in the brain, so people can be conditioned to listen to certain types of music, the 20 or so songs that show up on
most radio playlists to be sold to the public, people will come back to it because it triggers a biological response that provides a pleasurable experience for
them. It's not about the actual music. Here is an article that sort of explains the same thing: Music and Emotion

twenty years ago people who listened to U2 looked down on everyone else.

Complaining about the tastes of the masses is like bitching about traffic or the weather.
Years ago I read a quote by Bruce Springsteen, sociologist, that has stuck with me. Paraphrased: Sifting through pop culture is a daunting task and a lot of work, particularly if you don't have many reference points beyond what comes out of your radio or TV. You have to really work at finding music or books that mean something to you and it's easier to just settle on that Eagles album at Wal Mart and make it fit into your life. Most people just don't have the time or the inclination to always find something new. And it doesn't get any easier as you get older and technology continues to fracture everything. |

I'm not following you. I am friends with tons of people whose musical taste I find suspect and who find my musical taste suspect. And this isn't
"so disturbing" to me. Really. I'm just observing that people tend to have worse taste in music than in other things (in my opinion) and
wondering why it is. And I think any time you don't relate to the vast majority of people on a particular thing, you sort of wonder why you don't.
Shit. Maybe it's me.

You are following me and you just explained it - you're disturbed that you can't connect with 95% of people on music, and all I'm saying is that
you're not meant to connect with that many people on anything on any level. If you or any of us did, that would disturb me because it means everything is
too homogenized. I don't connect with most people on food, and I'll also come right out and admit that my taste in movies pretty much does suck.
