Supernatural and the Underclass 3- Music

Part 1- Intro
Part 2- Dangers of Underclass

If I were to start by using one thing, I would point out the music. American rock oldies, you say. Yeah, okay, big deal. Yes,  very American, so what's your point? The point belongs to that of a generational divide that, unless you are someone born in  the 50s, or

I've gotta say that I am really deeply flattered. I'm always worried that my thoughts are too fragmented to make any real flow, so I am both elated and relieved that my meta is so effective. Thank you so much!

Haha, my taste in music is inherited from my parents. I grew up listening to all of this stuff, and I'm listening to it more and more now that I'm overseas for a job for the next 8 months.

Oh Appalachia. I was born there, in southern New York. I made my way up the state to a similarly impoverished, isolated area with very much the same culture.

I think they have some of the most incredible, haunting songs I've ever heard. In high school I sang Every Night When the Sun Goes In, and it's one of my favorites. I will definitely look up Jodi Miller's version of House of the Rising Sun, since I;m a massive fan of the original version.

Cool beans, with the revivalist music! I've got a massive love for Americana music, and I can remember last summer standing in the barn listening to an oldtime bluegrass special on the radio. Amazing stuff.

I'll check out your drabble tomorrow! It sounds incredible. I'm eager to see it, but I've got to get to bed for work tomorrow. :/

I also sing Every Night. It's so simple, and so deeply beautiful. ;) emoticon = tears of joy

are you enjoying your time abroad?

I think I'm one of the only people in my generation online that knows that song. Or the only person I'm aware of. I'm 23, and yet I'm conversing as comfortably with people who could conceivably be my parents as though I were talking to someone my age about Greenday or something. I find this strange, but not bad.

It's definitely an experience, I'll say for sure. There are some really awesome things and some really dismaying things.

You're right, it is perfectly conceivable that you could be my offspring, since I turn 43 next week! :P

One of my tasks in life is to teach these songs to younger people, so I hope it is working. :)

Oh man, I really need to recc this, too. Satin in a Coffin by Modest Mouse. Lots of Appalachian influences in there, with the banjos and fiddles.

Plus it reminds me a lot of how Sam sees John.
