About Me
- k8fh
- I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge. I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.

You don't like any of them at all?
Elton John I can see - but Queen? I love the contradictions and drama. And while Billy Joel can be cheesy as hell, he has written a handful of great songs. And Neil Diamond? He is widely considered one of the best pop song writers - writing not only his own (uneven) stuff, but lots of songs other people have done.
Yeah, sorry to disappoint, Anonymous - I agree with you on an intellectual/rational level, but on a gut level their music makes me shrivel and endure instead of expand and embrace. And as with poetry - it can be as innovative and clever as you like, and be great fodder for class discussion, but you've gotta want to eat it with your heart while hanging out alone in the rain at the top of a tree, or what's the point?
Yeah - I'm not saying it's bad music - it just doesn't touch me.
...or, I should say, it touches me, but in an irritating way instead of a pleasurable one.
I am anonymous.
For some reason I could not log in as myself.
