But what really bugs me is when people are all like "blah blah blah music today sucks"...
Because really, it doesn't suck, each generation comes equipped with a different type of music. And I hate to yet again use The Beatles as an example, but the exact words of Dick Rowe, the head of the Decca Record Company, were "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr. Epstein. (The Beatles manager)." They turned away The Beatles early records because they believed rock and roll was just a rebellious fad in society that would soon pass.
Older adults in that time loathed rock and roll in it's earlier days. And the same with jazz several decades earlier. That's why I think it's pointless to say that modern music sucks. Because, odds are, it's probably going to catch on.
In the words of Paul McCartney, "He (Dick Rowe) must be kicking himself now."
Sorry, while I'm ranting, another thing that really bothers me is when people have this raging HATE for celebrities or songwriters that they don't like. These people can say these awful, awful things about them and they don't really know a thing about them. It's illogical really.
Especially with Justin Beiber. Now I'm really not his biggest fan, I will admit. But I don't think it's necessary to throw explicit words around and tell him to go kill himself because he covered a Beatles song. It's just stupid.
Nothing will EVER EVER EVER be as great as the original, but I really don't think he butchered Let It Be like everyone said he did. And he performed with Carlos Santana, who's awesome. I dunno, see for yourself.
Hahaha okay that was my spiel. But just another random thing, I pretty much had the BEST CHRISTMAS BREAK EVER. I got to go to Orlando with the band and spend time in Florida with some of my best friends and play at the Champs Bowl, which was freaking sweet. And it was my first time at Disney World, I was super pumped.
And, it was the first time I had ever gone anywhere for break so that was a good time c; And I got to meet all these kids from Kansas and it was just awesome in general, despite getting about 40 minutes of sleep on a 24 hour bust ride
and almost getting my eye jabbed out by a bungee cord. Haha it made it all the more memorable I guess c:
But yeah, long story short, it was an awesome time and I don't regret a single second of it.
Oh, and at the halftime show, we played Fire by Jimi Hendrix and Firework by Katy Perry and it was just freaking sweet.
Anyways, lets end on a good note. Listen to these songs.
Bowling for Soup - Turbulence
The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh What A Night)
