Today I'm not sure what to write about, but I feel the need to write. I have been playing guitar a lot lately and with each day, each little thing is becoming a little easier. We've played the fraternity house a few times and playing in front of people feels extremely correct to me. I doubt the audience feels the same way, but when I play in front of people I get a high that no other person or substance could ever provide me with. It's a natural high that is extremely healthy. This is a short post, but my motivation for playing and creating music comes from this hope to experience this high more and more in the future.
The new "We Are The World 25" came out and debuted on NBC during the Olympics. I feel confident saying that popular music today is nowhere near where it was during the original "We Are The World". Thew new one, which was made for Haiti (a great cause), is full of child stars and auto tune. The original features classic legends like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen (though I'm not a huge fan), Ray Charles, Lionel Richie, and Stevie Wonder (who I will have the pleasure to see at Bonnaroo this summer). Though I am not a fan of the new one, it is still a great song and there are some shining moments. The main one that comes to mind is Cilene Dion's part which is very strong. This is not to say that there is not good music being made today, because there definitely is, but just that the majority mainstream America listens to extremely shitty music.u Oh well, so much for my blog being G rated. The first expletive now makes it PG. But the expletive is well deserved, because "crappy:" would be a huge understatement for songs like Ke$ha's "Tic Toc". If you don't know what song I'm talking about, more power to you. Don't waste your time looking it up.
