You ever find that band that no matter what is going on in your life, you just relate to what they say? Nirvana, Less Than Jake, Incubus?
I never got mad at Kurt for killing himself. I understand it completely, unfortunately. I get just doing what you love, and doing something you're really good at, and not wanting to be the center of attention. I hate the world we live in these days with TMZ being known as news. What ever happened to the Walter Cronkite, Dan Rathers, and Tom Brokaw? We will never have another one of those again. I remember watching the Presidential address about Osama Bin Laden and thinking who do I watch for this historic moment? I settled on Brian Williams. I remember that day thinking this is terrible. We have people so happy that another man is dead. Yes I understand what he orchestrated and how it "effected everyone of us," but it's still a human life. It's like Beck used to say "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." I know it was Ghandi that said that but I think about Beck's mirror wall.
Less Than Jake came out with their first album in 5 years. I was nervous to listen to it for a few reasons. First because GNV FLA was so goo. But also because every album has related to me personally. This one didn't disappoint. They are fantastic persons. The first song on the album is awesome. The chorus repeats, "We were born into, believing it's true, what's been good enough for them, should be good enough for you." And we have, but just because we were told to believe that doesn't mean it actually is true. Do the math is an amazing song too.
And Incubus is unique in that I can listen to the same song 3-4 times, either in a row or at different times in my life and it always sounds different and has different meanings.
I don't know. I guess I just have the same questions I've always had. Am I really a good man? I've always tried to be. Am I a good husband? A good father? Will I ever get rid of that negative voice? I have so much more to write, but Mel's computer is forcing me to type super slow!!!!
