In all my years playing, rehearsing, practicing, tuning, swearing about, and performing music there have been few people with whom I see eye to eye. In the beginning my musical associates were into things like rap and teeny pop that well…just plain didn’t interest me. Not that there aren’t merits to those genres (there has to be…right?), but in reality they seem to just re-plagiarize themselves over and over. As a matter of fact…the other day I played one Shakira song while singing another (and, sadly, it fit perfectly).
As I progressed and moved deeper into my studies my associates changed. They became die über Musiker and were unwilling to accept that normal culture included things like guitars and drums. I did not really like the later parts of my classical training at the university level, because I was forced to listen and study things that no one should like…yet everyone around me claimed to not only like it, but they would gladly reproduce with it were that possible.
