Music and Why I’ve Been Away

with 3 comments

I know I promised at least a weekly blog entry.  I also didn’t plan on spending one week in the hospital with grandma and me being sick.  I’m still not feeling great, but while waiting on a computer to update that I’ve been working on I thought I’d tackle a rant.  I’ve been reading a lot about country music and who isn’t really a country artist, who sucks, who real country fans listen to, ect.  Well after listening to my mp3 player tonight, I have figured out I’m not a country fan, I’m not sure what I am.  Maybe you can help.  Here’s who is currently on my mp3 player:

    New details about Michael Jackson’s Death Emerge
    I was wondering if you were going to blog about this…

  3. Michael,

    I will not be blogging about Michael Jackson. While I respect his musical ability and the contributions he made to the industry, I was not a fan enough to do the man justice.
