It's the music, dickweed

People at the liquor store are always asking, "Hey Rodge, why is it that today's kids are so pliable, and manipulated by their ratbastardcommie teachers, and the MFCS media? We weren't"

One word. Rap music, acid rock, and all that other crap music. Take this test. What's your favorite song? Can you hum it? No? Then it ain't music, it's mind altering poop. That's why it's more important than ever to reject today's insidious (so called) music, and movies (commie-prop), and bathe in a culture that Washington, Jefferson, R.E. Lee, and Reagan loved. Like this.

There, you feel like an American again, don't you?

Much of the source of teen angst and violence comes into their lives in plain brown rappers.; 2/7/08, 1:18 PM

This is after developing the music of "Suburban Hip Hop" under my rapper name Scoop Doggy Doo.; 2/7/08, 3:34 PM

I can't hardly stand any of "today's music" but I have to admit, I couldn't get Feist out of my head for about a month.....

"1,2,3, tell me that you love me more...."

Talk about a hummer....

If this seems like a commercial, I'm sorry. I meant to share what I think is one of the Internet's treasures, and you can listen for free.; 2/7/08, 6:42 PM

It's such a rare thing to find music being written FOR ADULTS. Not in a pseudo-intellectual way, but instead in a way that simply respects the listener. It makes me think.

For instance, "half acre": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR0CWvbl51o

I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is the land I grew in

Think of every town you've lived in
Every room you lay your head
And what is it that you remember

Do you carry every sadness with you
Every hour your heart was broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with you...

It's like lullabies for adults.

Here's an official video, "red wing": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFQrH9w8VM4

"Rabbit Songs" is their first album and IMO is their best, followed by "Eveningland".; 2/7/08, 8:07 PM
