MusicI've been fascinated by the question of, "Would you rather be blind, or be deaf?" I would personally prefer to be blind. I could deal with not being able to see a sunset or a snowcapped mountainside. I've already seen those images before so I can easily recall them. If someone describes a picture in terms of color, shape, or form, I can put them into perspective. I'd have to learn not to bump into things when I walk, but after enough bruises and concussions, I'd figure it out. What I couldn't deal with is going any length of time without listening to music.
My musical tastes range from Classic Country to Classic Rock, from Jazz to Japanese Noise, from Goth to Grindcore, and Disco to Death Metal. For the most part, I despise this new "Young Country" trend, where in reality these artists are pop acts who wear cowboy boots. Shania Twain may be a hot piece of ass, but let us not forget...she's a Canadian!!! I guess she comes from real redneck roots selling maple syrup and trading beaver pelts up there in the Great White North. In terms of real twangy redneck country music, give me Merle Haggard or David Allan Coe any day. The Goth scene is pretty good, but the only trouble is....the people in it. These crazy fucks think they're vampires. I don't listen to the Gangsta "yo yo yo wickee wickee scratch" Rap, due to the fact they tend to perpetuate a lifestyle that ultimately leads down the wrong road. I don't do Boy Bands, because they probably already do each other.
