Bleed

Once again, how so? If we are talking about how marijuana may have emotionally affected the individual so he interpreted his feelings coming about as they did as a result of the use of the weed, why would that be demeaning? Are you referring to the guilt the person may have felt about HOW he felt about what he was feeling while high? In other words, feeling demeaned by it. The way in which I'm stating it may come across as vague and potentially abstract but I suppose I'm just curious as to the specific context of the word 'demean"...

Simply because they mention drugs in songs does not mean it degrades the music in any regard. You say you like to think there is more to their music than simply drugs? I agree! However, to assume that drugs are not an aspect of life that can be explored through music is ignorant and simply because you fear them does not invalidate a song that may mention or be about drugs or drug use. How would mentioning weed in a song demean their music? You sound like some kind of frightened elitist. Accept life in its totality and try not...

How would mentioning weed in a song demean their music? You sound like some kind of frightened elitist. Accept life in its totality and try not to segment it into convenient portions so your ego can handle the fact that no one is going to play the harp when you die and simply because you do not agree with something does not mean it should not be explored in song like ANYTHING else. Any one subject has the potential or capacity to degrade a song but it is not about the thing being explored or questioned in the song, it is how the artists are handling it.

Ah, that's cute, you took offense because you know your passive aggressive initial comment about your hopes for their songs to be about more than just drugs is arrogant and that there must be at least a modicum of truth in my pointing out the ignorance of such a statement; otherwise why take offense? I referred to you as a frightened elitist simply because I felt your comment was demeaning and that you think the vast majority of people who listen to their music apparently only interpret it to be solely about drugs when in actuality it has more to...

I referred to you as a frightened elitist simply because I felt your comment was demeaning and that you think the vast majority of people who listen to their music apparently only interpret it to be solely about drugs when in actuality it has more to do with the fact that you don't want music that you love to permeate the mainstream; which I can relate with. Regardless, I still think you sound like a frightened elitist and you should be okay with that because if you are, then it probably isn't the case. Also, if you think my post previous to this one was overly analytical and long, maybe you should read more...that ain't no short essay, it's a comment. I could fill endless pages with words about the music of AC and I only discovered them this past year. So, no, there music is certainly not about one thing, obviously. You're right. Hooray and what not.

Well, that's apparent. Your sarcasm that permeates the subtext of your comments is nothing more to me than an obvious desire to be loved because you don't want to die alone(yes, that is a 'Shelia' reference)...but like most people you have to drape it in passive aggression and trivial ridicule because you need people to accept you even when you know your being dishonest, that way validating your insecurities so you can live in comfort knowing they are not judging you because you define who you are based on how you believe people perceive you rather than how you honestly...

A one-sided psychoanalysis I'm sure but I still think you're the bees knees so no need to take offense. I'm just letting you know I think YOU are really profound and I love you as well.

p.s. Your inspiration continues to guide me towards my personal liberation.
