On Trying New Things

Sofia: *brightly* I've never heard music like that before!
Amber: *lazily* I've heard better.

Being lazy about trying new things isn't really a sin, but it just isn't a virtue either.

And it's always easy to suspect people of having alternate reasons for suggesting something different-- action movie people are too uptight to be mellow, and of course some people are always just looking to score points or put other people in a bind. But, then again, it's silly to be too self-absorbed when always doing the same thing can be boring sometimes.

And clearly Seal is like Disney's Jessie, or something like that, there's no reason not to like him, and he's clearly a very mellow person.

Although, it is a little hard. I never quite figured out what I honestly think of Chuck Berry. I guess he's like the Turtles in overall quality, (they both certainly had a couple of good songs, at the very least), whatever that is, but it's hard to say. It's easy to bipolar inbetween listening to it just for the sake of listening to it, and neglecting it just for the sake of not wanting to bother, to self-absorb.

It's easier with say, Bob Dylan, even though my opinion of him fluctuates as well-- he's over-rated; no, he's actually good-- but at least with him, I don't automatically get nervous and start dropping things just thinking about it.

Then again, I suppose that I want to be one of these guys that just sits around and explores new things in the world of music, so, I suppose it's worth it. It's hard to know what you really want sometimes, still less what you ought to aim for.

Anyway, it's good stuff, and it's mellow.
