How often do you listen to music?

Hi,

I only listen to music now when I want to EXPERIENCE something, which tells you that is the reason why I lose interest fast when someone says ... it's progressive" ... because you know it's not about the music itself, or the actual work, but about an idea that makes no sense whatsoever to me and is used in the most vagrant and fake way possible.

Music, 20, 30, 40 years ago was a very important experience for me on the inside, and this is the reason WHY it has not "changed" or "differed" since ... the experience ALWAYS remains, and your values change. Some say that times makes you see things differently ... but that depends on how FAR INTO YOURSELF these things happen, and when it is done "right" and "well", you experience as much out of it as it is possible, and it will not change 40 years later! You go right back to that image instead.

I listen to enough stuff, but as I posted earlier, it is about "the surprise" and the "difference" and not about anything else, and these days, you're not going to find this stuff in many of the "progressive" shows, at all, because the way it is presented is (ALMOST) a complete counter point to the music itself ... and when it is backed up and fronted by another 4 or 5 minute piece that is "better known", you have to understand that right away, the interest of the music itself is not important ... and if it isn't important to that person, why should it be for you?

I like to say ... that ... somehow, the music "comes to me" and that ends up in my collection, although these days the number of purchases has dropped immensely ... the stuff I want is not even readily found or available, and they all are the most foreign and out there stuff that only one show is capable of showcasing it properly! I get pist off when someone ends a TD piece and immediately follows it with Rush, or Metallica ... it's just sick and senseless! I like Rush, but plllllzzzzzzz!
