At what point did you fall in love with Music?

I'm sitting here on my day off cleaning the house while listening to "Another day, Another Time: the music behind inside Llewyn Davis"  which a showtime music doc about a concert with various artists that played for the sound track of the movie, really great stuff if you enjoy folk/bluegrass music, which is by far my favorite genre of music.

 

My love for Folk and Bluegrass music is something that came very late to me, In middle school to high school I listened to what ever was popular, but never really enjoyed music, and honestly for a while I never thought there was any genre of music I truly enjoyed to listen too. and about 5 years ago while traveling with some friends of mine in Australia one of them was big into Bluegrass and I started to listen to his stuff and have been hooked ever since.

 

Oddly enough the very first bluegrass song I ever enjoyed was a cover of Metallica's Unforgiven by Iron Horse

 

 

so what's your favorite genre and when did you fall in love with it?

Hardcore/metal/metalcore.

I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I fell in love with it after an older student drove me home from school and was playing Hawthorne Heights. I now despise that band but I went out to Wal-Mart the next day and bought their cd. I also bought Killswitch Engage's cd at the time because it sounded "hardcore." I've been in love with the genre ever since.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate other types of music.  The only genre I'm not a big fan of is rap or country.  I listen to it because those are pretty much the only genres my friends listen to, but it's not preferred.  Basically, if a band/song has good instrumentals/musicians, I'll listen to it.

When my dad gave me his record collection and his radio.

It was an awesome variety of music that included Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Boston, Foreigner, Queen, and Dylan.

Between that and my mom always playing Johnny Mathis and Anita Baker around the house I came to love many styles of music. If it has a real drummer and good vocals I'm happy.

I really have a soft spot for beautiful women with great voices and heavy music with a good groove and vocal harmonies

Honestly? probably when I did mushrooms or LSD for the first time, and listening to the Dead. The Dead opened up so much other music for me, before that it was metal and hard rock. Not so much into metal now, hurts my head. But I can listen to almost anything now, and I blame the Dead and psychedelics.

My parents would play us some great albums growing up.  Stuff ranging from The Who, INXS, Talking Heads, The B-52s, The Beatles, Velvet Underground and plenty more.  So when I got a little older I really appreciated everything they played (looking back).

 

It was early high school that I got into the classical/baroque/romanticism eras that showed me what truly amazing music was.

Yeah I can't stand country, the current embodiment of country is nothing but an ad-executives bastardization of a music genre, hasn't been good in a while.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
