Traffic Sucks. I sat in it for half an hour today while eating "Wisconsin Mac N' Cheese" from Noodles Inc. I had just gone to Michaels with Sarah and bought tie-dye Duct Tape, yarn, and tie-dye stuff ( Like the dye for shirts). We were listening to Rihanna's song "Here's To The Freakin Weekend." We started to rant about how Rihanna is a complete $&@ for messing up the song "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne... well at least the part of the bridge. Any way that put us on the subject about how artists these days need to be more creative. And I'm not talking about Ke$ha's rap yodeling creative. Last year artists remixed old songs like "Forever Young" and "Blue" by adding some crappy rap about drugs, sex, and alcohol.
When I got home with Sarah my sister was nice to me for once? I don't know if she is feeling well but I think she ... SHE JUST THREW A BOTTLE CAP AT ME BECAUSE I WAS READING THIS OUT LOUD AND SAID THAT SHE SMELLED. I was only kidding though. Kinda. No really. She smells fine. Sarah has to be home in 9 minutes but she is being a rebel... And there is kinda no way I can get her home in time because I need to take my sister to Religious Education in 8 minutes. Which is like a twenty minute drive there with all this traffic. My sister just burped... NOW THAT SMELLED! If it counts she said excuse me... although that doesn't make the smell any better.
Anyways... we have 48 days until Halloween, 103 till Christmas, 208 till Easter, and 154 till Valentine's Day. Sarah is scraping at the bottom of her soup bowl, and ranting about my horrible grammar. I have to leave in 3 minutes... But I'm not sure if I'm close to a page yet... or what a page is considered.
Can post accumulate to over a page? Bye for now... ish. Ummm Yeah...
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the direction you were going commenting on the lack of creativity in today's music. You had be interested and pondering the issue...then you left me hanging. So here's my challenge to you: dig deeper into this issue! Sampling has always been a major part of the music industry - is it creative though? I'm not sure. The best example is good ol' Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice, Baby" where he totally rips off the central beat of Journey's "Under Pressure". Some will argue that you can't mess with the original (especially when it's an 80s powerhouse like Journey), but others will make the statement that sampling is part of the creative process and that we live in a society where there is no such thing as originality anymore; every idea is inspired by someone else's. I have no answers, only questions. Thoughts?
