Togetherness and a sense of community is one thing but what western society has boiled down to is literally a bigass herd of sheep. I wonder if it's any better in Europe?

, [my parents ran a home recording studio] so I was warped in a totally different way 
then the norm, nothing like spending all your time around those guys to make you cynical and apathetic towards the rest of the world

All my social interaction with other humans was with professional musicians do to the "home schooling"
I think the idea that one must fit in is almost universal, it's that deep down tribal thang, some us has evolved passed it and some us us haven't.....who's to know though who is right?

I really just let that pass seeing how a identity to most contemporary music can not be based upon color. If it's an old negro spiritual I'd understand. I'd pity the blacks who thought playing an instrument made me white and somehow thought themselves clever for calling me Jimi Hendrix or Lenny Kravitz.
... jokes on them I guess?

I mean....yeah I have been known to bump Thugs, Pac and Biggie on a regular basis and hit up the hood parties, but somehow that is in opposition to my use of proper grammar and love of a wall of noise and lots of "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSHSHSHSHHSHHBEEEEEELEEEEPBOOOPP BOOM BOOM BOOM SHHHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSSHHSHHHHHHH" between songs
I was at a show the other day sharing drinks with some cool local rappers chattin it up about beats and rhymes but as soon as my buddy walked up, wearing tight jeans, an orange plastic belt, a band shirt, and woman's pea coat on his semi-fro-havin, unshaven, 5'6 self, they gave me weird looks and got weird with me. Not down for that.
It also doesn't help that a regular outfit for me is a pair of dress pants, nikes, artsy or jazz shirt and jacket
this seems to stand in opposition to both factions, who both take offense when I play classical guitar, jazz chords or flamenco rhythms
*sigh*
I guess I'm just mad and needing to rant somewhere, where better than ILF? --'
I disagree; I think things are improving, especially in the noise/diy scene, & being reinforced with music festivals including different types of bands/genres. But then I don't go to country gigs.$.01 wrote:It gets worse as you get older.

Yeah, people are people and often they like to just stick with the people they think are like them and dress like them, which is dumb.htsamurai wrote:so stupid, because of my skin color and where I grew up it's weird that I play in the kind of bands I play in and listen to Boris and Electric Wizard --'
