music and religion

This guy I know looked at one of my CDs yesterday and said, "Why don't you listen to X? You listen to some weird trance." Hey it's weird to you doesn't mean it's weird to me. Plus I really hate those mainstream bubbly techno. I need ones that are warm and I can drive to.

And yes, I hate it when people criticize my music and tells me what to listen to. Those people rate just as low as those girls who tried to get me to watch The Passion because their youth group wants them to spread the word. That was actually a funny thing. I was sitting on Dexter lawn leafing through a copy of Foreign Affairs, and they came up to me. I forgot what it was that they were asking, but I took over the talking. They seemed so confident when they came up to me, and at the end they were acting like a couple high school freshmen who just got schooled.

I don't rightly remember what I said to them. But I do remember being very logical about the whole situation. I do remember nicely explaining to them how I have my own faith, and I think people are entitled to their own opinions, and I don't believe in people who pushes their own agenda onto others. I think they took it well, for a couple of youth group chicks.

I still haven't seen the movie to this day. The whole media hype killed it for me. I remember being really excited about it when I found out they were doing it in Aramaic (well.... or some form of it as I later found out). I was actually interested in it as an artistic piece. But just as any good thing that may arise, people politicized it way too much and turned me off of it.

This would be a good place for me to wirte a thing about the parallels of music and religion and what not. But I'm too lazy to do it now. Oh well. Back to studying oligopolies it is.
