Country Music is like tomatoes.

Entertainment, music

It’s amazing what kind of music I like now… well not really amazing, just interesting. It’s just like food tastes, I used to only like french dressing on salads, now I can’t get enough vinagrette. In high school I hated country music, but now I still don’t like it… so that hasn’t totally changed. But I do like the fringes of country. (bluegrass, alt-country, cowpunk, etc.) Country music is like tomatoes, I don’t like them by themselves, but I like everything made out of them (salsa, pasta sauce, etc). I just got an album from [W:The Beat Farmers] and it’s totally awesome. I’m a little behind the times because it came out 13 years ago and 2 of the band members have died since then. But it’s just really good music, just enough country, just enough rock.

I’ve been on a very alt-country kick recently.

As a Christian, I am often frustrated by the media only choosing to show extremists and wackos as opposed to those who actually follow the teachings of Christ. I can’t imagine, however, how it must be to be a Muslim in the United States today, where the term itself is used to try to disqualify and smear a presidential candidate. I pray that the voice of Muslim-Americans across the nation will be heard as clearly as any other. Freedom of religion is supposed to be a fundamental of this country. Maybe we will live to see the day when this is a reality.

I don’t think it’s that the users of that website are more intellegent than others, I’ll bet its that the comments are more heavily moderated because they are a very visable website. I don’t know what website has the best community of commenters but if I had to list the bottom 3 it would be…

  1. IMDB.com
  2. Youtube.com
  3. Fark.com

Wretched hives of scum and villany
