Music Taste: The Goulash of Flavor

I have written about 50 first lines to this blog post, but I'll spare you the undoubtedly boring task of reading them. In essence, I was trying to say that people keep on egging me on to write, so write I will.

Today (mostly the past hour) I have been thinking of blog topics that can explain who I am. I thought about a blog post of Apple, Disneyland, and Food. None of these really were what I wanted to talk about. So I looked on the desk and there was a CD. I knew what I should write about right then: music. Music is powerful stuff. Like the Pope or Arnold Schwarzenegger, music can change your attitude or even tell you that you are indeed a "girly man". The singing part of music was invented by the cavemen, and yes, it did go like this-

After singing was nailed, music came next.

Bach, Beethoven, Wagner; these names might sound familiar but have little relevance to music itself. No, it wasn't until 1987 that music had it's first legend. As the 80's were dying down and there was little hope that there would be a single that could top the charts, Rick Astley broke into the scene and produced this gem.

Later in life, this song would gain popularity with the "RickRolling Phenomenon".

Now that we are done with the history of music according to me, I will tell you of my favourite music. (PS- If you are reading and still know what I'm talking about, congrats! Again you've won absolutely nothing!)(PSS- Notice that I used the British instance of favorite. I'll do that sometimes!)(PSSS- Don't read anything after this.)(PSSSS- You're still reading! I've got you now!)(PSSSSS- Keep reading.)

Collective Soul

Let me just say that I leave my music tastes to my friend Jordan. He introduces me to music and I expand on what he shows me. I first heard of Collective Soul because Jordan kept playing this song.

I then took that song and kept listening until I got to where I could listen to it all day. Then, I found a whole bunch of Collective Soul on my computer and soon, this was my new favorite song.

Why Pt. 2 (Video) - Collective Soul

I now enjoy a multiplicity of their music.

Van Halen

Like any respectable person, I needed to have a little more than just rock in my musical diet. (Remember, this is all about musical taste? Look at who just made an analogy!!!) I turned to Jordan and he disappointed. Showing me this song, I started to like the band and have been stuck on rock ever since.

Who couldn't like that delightful riff?

That's enough to prove the point that I like music.

I also enjoy the Beatles, but this post has taken far too long for me to write so I will sum up with a final sentence. Ok, it might be more because I want to rant about something like Geraldo Riviera.

Also, DANGER!

His mustache is said to be 5X stronger than his actual strength. I'd believe it. Really.

Alright, I have this to say. I have a pet peeve when people use the wrong instance of the word "there". Like this week, I signed a contract in work that said "All employees are required to keep there work area clean." This annoys me as I have had to know the difference for over 9 years.

Anyways, stay classy........ Internet????
