This music speaks to me... to you, not so much

My daughter, who is three years older, has also gone through the same process, but she's more reserved and just listens quietly in her room through ear buds. So I haven't witnessed it nearly as much with her. But the boy loves to crank up the stereo, so we all experience it together.

Attaboy, boy!

I have never understood this, but, I must jam, occasionally. I mean, I have a thousand watt stereo, 250 x 4, and I gotta use a great deal, if not all of those watts now and again. It affects me like a drug, it really does.

On the opposite end of that, I must have silence occasionally. Sometimes I can accomplish this on the river or creek bank, sometimes alone in GrandCherokeeOne. Every now and then it requires buying Mom&Popdigr dinner somewhere out of my damn house.

In regard to UT's original post, I believe we're all a product of our environment (to an extent). He was beaten with a banjo, therefore, he don't like banjo music. I, on the other hand, listened to bluegrass while watching porn in my formative years, therefore, I get a hard-on when I hear banjos.

What?

I had a genuine vs not genuine experience last weekend. I saw 7 bands over two nights at the Stone Pony.

Bad Religion was genuine. Offspring was genuine. G Love was genuine. Slightly Stoopid was the least genuine live performance I've ever seen.

What, were they animatronic, like the Country Bear Jamboree?

Essentially. The other three bands honored the musical forms they sprang from. Slightly Stoopid did not respect the music. They played a warmed over version of rock, blues, and ska music buried under a crap bass line. I found this actual concert footage on youtube. This is pretty much what it actually sounded like but the smartphone fails to deliver the dub bass.
