Music still rules...

I was gonna go on a diatribe about how much I hate religion and the way it's hijacked world politics, but after I typed it all out, I decided that "the religious right", an oxymoron if I ever heard one, wasn't worth the effort. I would like to see everyone who isn't brainwashed by religion to get together and stop the hostile takeover of North American politics by religious zealots. It's out of control and has to stop.
So I listen to music and feel better about the situation. I decide to delete the post and start again, and so you see what happened.
Sure, lots of people will say "but with no god, there'd be no music", I say bullshit. It's people who created music, just like it's people who created god. What's unbelievable to me is that there are so many people who can be so easily suckered into believing all that tripe. But I digress.
Seperate church and state, so we can finally erase the hate. The religious right is wrong, it's time they were shown the door out of the halls of politics. We must be free.
Oh yeah, and legalize pot.

Music Rules

Not much new to speak of, but loads of new music. Have found myself getting into the early work of The Who, and have thusly picked up some of their early albums, such as Sell Out, Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy, and the deluxe editions of Live At Leeds and Who's Next. I've always liked The Who, but more as a casual listener. Am enjoying the more intensive listens to their stuff as well as the videos I've gotten, whether on the 'net or picked up in stores (bought the 2 disc The Kids Are Alright dvd and the Live at the Isle Of Wight 1970 dvd, both are awesome), and have downloaded some amazing footage spanning from 1965 to 1975. I had the same sort of relationship with The Rolling Stones, as a casual listener, and although I haven't gotten any of their stuff yet, save for Cocksucker Blues on dvd, and some other shows from '64 to '75 also on dvd. My favorite period of theirs is the Mick Taylor era, but enjoy the earlier stuff with Brian Jones as well. So I'll be grabbing all of those cd's at some point, but I'm still concentrating on The Who at the moment. I'm reading alot about Pete Townshend's Lifehouse project lately, especially with the purchase of Who's Next, and I think I'm gonna have to get The Lifehouse Chronicles from eelpie.com. Can't wait.
