I'm not sure why I've always hated Springsteen so much -- I just have. Maybe I should give him a chance. I do respect and appreciate some of the themes of his songs and that he doesn't just sing about love/sex and drugs like 90 percent of the rock musicians out there. But I guess I just don't enjoy his style of music or vocals. That goes for Bon Jovi, too. I had my fill of cheesy 80s music/TV/pop culture by about 1982, and I don't want anymore. That's right: I was already a jaded bastard at age 2.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, enjoy some occasional U2 and what little Pearl Jam I hear on the radio. But, in this hypothetical roadtrip, you would probably get sick of the major prevalence of acoustic guitar in pretty much everything I like to listen to. (Acoustic piano is an acceptable, even desirable substitute, but not many musicians feature it. Norah Jones is probably the best popular musician doing it right now -- and props to her for it.) Now that I think of it, I'm not sure my preference for mild-manner folksy songs supports my earlier theory of being too jaded for 80s music. <BR/><BR/>Meh. I like what I like.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796345438886867796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348104816001615055.post-32871675402542251072007-11-02T14:24:00.000-04:002007-11-02T14:24:00.000-04:00Hmm, I'm surprised by a few of these.

I thought you'd try to be different from me, because that's what you do.<BR/><BR/>Damn, I do like "Where is My Mind?" more than "Debaser." But I didn't think of it earlier.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940936362201799176noreply@blogger.com
