i got to see lou reed live once. it was a rainy day at a music festival in atlanta.
there was no one there.
it was fucking surreal. i walked right up to the edge of the stage and just plopped my ass in the grass and listened for an hour.
heroin is still, for me, the most visceral piece of music i've ever encountered. i've never done the drug. i'm not that experienced. but i totally get the mindset of wanting to obliterate reality and he captures it perfectly in both word and music.
give bowie another shot. he's very hit or miss but that's in part because he's so experimental. if you don't like one of his phases, wait for it. he probably dabbled in something you will like.
for example:
i concede the point the lyrics, though i think wilson was improving until he had his breakdown. heroes and villains, god only knows, etc. show development and promise.
but yeah. as it stands, his reputation has to stand on the arrangements.
yeah. i just think that...
no. you're probably right.
i actually prefer rahxephon, which has a similar but more coherent story.
i always just got the feeling that eva was intentionally trying to be confusing so that people would think it was deeper than it really is.
i still haven't seen MITHC, which is odd as i'm a huge PK Dick fan. i know i should watch it. everyone whose opinions i trust say it's good. it's just that some of the stuff the entertainment industry has done with his work has been crazy bad and i don't want it to ruin the novel for me.
i'll watch it. eventually.
i'll go first.
i really, strongly dislike led zeppelin.
and not for lack of trying. i really just hate their whole sound.
i mean, kashmere is okay. but that's seriously the only song of theirs I can stomach.
