Its All Good

I hope everyone had an amazing 4th, I know I did. Nothing beats having a few cold ones, while celebrating your nation's freedom. But, I have a question I would like to pose to everyone (no relation to 4th of July). What do you like most about music?

I know this is a standard question from most, if not all musicians. For me though, there is no one answer.

I love how something as simple as three chords can incite a riot (any punk song)

I love how I can walk along and see the world around me sync with the beat pouring out of my headphones

I love the way that no single genre can define an individual's personal taste. For instance, go on Facebook and you will see that every single friend has more than one genre. I mean even my sisters, who are Texas country music loving girls, also like Thursday, The Mars Volta, Massive Attack and many others.

But most of all, I love the ambiguity of music. The melding of genres and sub-genres with little, or no similarities to me is one of the most amazing things, and in my humble opinion one of the few true melting pots of the people.

I will come down off my soapbox now, and apologize for any pretension/douchebaggery on my part with this post. I really do want to know your thoughts, even if it isn't about music. I want to hear what makes you say "yeah, its all good."

Cheers
