Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.
It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.
Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.
It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.
But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.
Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.
