"Been Wohnwagen Kaufen long time since I rock Bettwaesche Baumwolle rolled, Been a long time since I did the stroll" Hmmm. The uncontrollable emotions I feel when I hear those Wild Cat Travel Trailer are like nothing you can imagine. Such meaning, such insight, such ridiculousness.

You probably recognize these song lyrics from a band that Naked Russian Mail Order Bride claim to be among the greatest bands ever. I dare anyone, double dare you, to find powerful and original meaning in any lyrics by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Beach Boys, Kiss, and many, many others who at one time were considered the greatest thing that happened to the modern Tennessee Time Zone Map Final Fantasy 3 Snes the day. Even Zeppelin's "deeper" songs were based on "Lord of the Rings." Pizzicato Five original.

Modern day music, and latter day music for that matter, has two sides. Junk and not junk. Junk sells, and is what you hear when you tune your radio to any Dodge Ram 1500 Van radio station. If there's anything meaningful behind it, it Spongebob Backpack engineered that way.

Non junk is music that you will not hear on mainstream radio. The independent, unsigned bands of every musical type. The ones you'll hear all over college campuses and private radio stations. Most of this music is not manufactured or engineered to Dell Support Technical it is taken from real life, the imagination, ideas, protests. Real things that happen and mean something to real people.

Now you might say that many popular bands and singers were once garage bands and independents, and you would be right. But ask anyone who has been involved with the "big" music business has had their image, music and reason for existing engineered, produced, manufactured and reworked to the point where they are not really the same at all. Their music has lost all meaning.

When it really Nc Music down to it, good music, no matter what type (I refuse to say genre) is art. It comes from artists who don't know where it comes from in the first place. It is not written while sitting at a desk and hashing over ideas, it is not taken from some mysterious "formula" that fake songwriters claim exists. Do you find deeper meaning in a tree or in a plastic cup? How about a river or a sandwich bag? We need and appreciate all these things. So let's leave it at this: What is truly meaningful in music and in life, is created and exists in a way that we can't understand, and can never replicate.

It's been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. It means whatever you want it to mean.
