Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read my first post. I realize that I'm a complete novice to the blogosphere and as such am not exactly adept at capturing my readers rapt attention, but I appreciate y'all giving me a chance to entertain, and hopefully occasionally teach you something.
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to revoke a previously made comment. After eliminating both music AND politics from this blog, I realized that I unfortunately have not nearly as much to talk about as I previously believed. That being said, this blog will NOT turn political, because politics divides far more than it unites, and it will instead turn more musical, since music almost ALWAYS unites people.
Speaking of which, has anyone seen the video of Tom Morello playing "This Land is Your Land" at occupy LA? No, no, give me a moment to justify my inherent contradiction of not talking about politics. I may occasionally discuss politics, but I will NEVER endorse nor slander political candidates, and I will endeavor to the best of my imperfect ability to keep my personal politics out of here. That being said, I think this is an excellent performance and regardless of your personal opinions of occupy I value the belief that government should be questioned by individuals. I have always though it more patriotic to question than to accept, and even if you hate Occupy and all that it stands for you should appreciate The Nightwatchman's rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land."
For those of you who honestly don't care and simply want something absolutely beautiful to listen to, I present this.
