I just finished reading this amazing article from the Huffington Post written by John Mellencamp. Read it!
“My understanding is that someone is listening to what I like, to what my friends like… I mean, they like Sonic Youth too!” -me @ seventeen.
I realize the difficulty of having to please everyone and yet, easy enough to please yourself. Money was tight when I fell in love with music and tighter now that I know why. Believing in the concept of talent and lacking a price for it, takes the kind of mind that enjoys to wander. My understanding is that I know what I like and it crosses the boundaries of time and genre… I mean, I still like Sonic Youth! This is part of growing up, either you take the time to get to know yourself or spend the time you have left restless and pondering. I found that out yesterday after accepting the image and before my first cup of coffee. Life is better than I expected.
“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” -Aldous Huxley
