Blogging is good for your well being.
I completely concur. Even though some might think that loneliness should not be fought with an internet identity, it has helped me a lot. It presented me with the opportunity of reflection and self-debugging. And I got to know some great people, who could provide a completely unbiased opinion about things.
I've always been a bit of a musichead. There's nothing like reminiscence with a good song, traveling back in time. It's great recalling what was about a song that made you fall in love with it the first time, and made you sing it with your soul in your hand, completely drunk, in some random 'cerveza a 900' dirty joint.
Rock has always guided me, even though I've always had my specific taste, you could say rock has always been it. No Pop music for me, though. And I never needed a handbook for recognizing what rock songs had crossed the line. No Hip-hop for me either. The lack of musical imagination of this genre is probably one of the most hideous crimes in music history.
But times have changed. I guess that's what makes me old, knowing that things will never be what they used to (Mi vieja mula ya no es lo que era):
How the fuck can you call Fall Out Boy's music Rock (and "Artist of the Year" according to many music magazines and TV networks)? Rock's handbook states that as soon as you start losing your musical imagination and base the charm of your song into the lyrics, you've crossed the line. And there's no coming back from that point my friend. There's not. On the other hand, 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake did surprise me a while back. They're not there, and probably never going to be, but they're a bit closer to the right path.
But if these are the cornerstones of music, I'm already too old for it.
