your first paragraph sound like the "ceta" program in the late 70" early 80's during the bad times then, i worked in that program unemployment rate was 14 percent in my state at the time, people were against ceta and there were debates about the marits. but i thought it helped everyday people put food on the table and you earned it, many folks were trained in work they never did before, while earning a paycheck, i say bring back ceta or similar for the people.
my last post was spicific to classic rock fans, but could pertain to other genres as well, only if you consider yourself more than a little into music. have fun discovering music!!
ok let us all some how believe that in whatever our lives are, that we see ourselves as progressive, liberal, conservitive, hip, groovy, cool, whatever, than why is it that most people are'nt very adventurous when it comes to music, for instance one is into classic rock and they otherwise believe themselves to be hip somehow, that to them classic rock is only what the've heard on the radio, or because a magazine tells people what to be into if they want to be with it, these very same people may even think in the abstract about life,philosophy,art, spirituality, but they cannot go there with their music prefrence, now i respect-ed, lester bangs opinion about music and he hated this group, but for me they were killer, Atomic Rooster" their first 3 albums to me are classic, why anybody that digs deep purple, black sabbath, led zep, wouldnt check out these guys is beyond me. i don't like it because it wasnt on the radio, this is what people say, how lame is that rationale, thats like saying i dont want to read a new book because i havent read it before, if we think we are hip what are we hip to, and if inlightenment is what we seek through our persuits in life, why not also with the music that was created and left here for us to discover and enjoy.
so ive been hearin about this album for years, and ive only ever heard a couple songs from it on compilations, and i like the group so i decide im gettin it, the album, "sf sorrow" by "the pretty things" this is a concept album or rock opera" that came out at the same time that the beatles had sgt.peppers out, sf sorrow never got noticed in a big way, but it is a great album, i always heard and read that it was classic and did like the tracks that i heard before, but to hear them in the context of the whole album, awesome< if you are a fan of the pretty things or of the concept album concept, you owe it to yourself to have this record. and if you already have, whats your take on it?
right on !!! those that would hurt someone or take advantage, would to so in person as well. i consider myself a kind and respectful person, but i don't get much attention on here. it boils down to what people are looking for, whatever that is is anybodys guess.
dru, were we seperated at birth? my sentements also, petal, you deserve and will recieve goodness in life, just be who you are, thats good enough for this kind hearted stranger, and who you are is a wonderful person.
i also agree that in a relationship openess, honesty,trust, are all cornerstones of any meaningful relationship, my earlier posts were in regards to a general feeling as we trek thru our lives, it is a rocky path we walk, in a love relationship all card must be on the table,and never dealt from the bottom of the deck.
i am more open generally, now than in years passed, but still cautious of others motives. no its not a weekness i love that about those that ware their heart out in the open. for me though its sorta like humpty dumpty it gets broken and difficult to pick up the pieces.
honesty yes, open' only after a degree of trust is built, people tend to use our openess against us, best to be safe not sorry. i will only let those i trust dearly see all of me, so to speak.
RE: Some things are true whether you believe it or not.
you mean like "sasquatch" or nessie" i will agree.
