oy.

i can't help but feel old and slightly disheartened when i visit the message boards these days. i remember when it people were talking about the music ... now it's "how does howie spike his hair???" "any brand names for jason's floppy hat?" "hey, look! it's john and heidi klum!"

was i ever that kind of a fan? i don't believe so ... i hope not ... it's a reality - things'll never be the way they used to. but is it bad that i really don't want howie to go on tour with barenaked ladies? am i wrong for thinking guster deserves someone less sell-out to tour with than john (and it makes me half-wonder if guster is selling out by association)? can you blame me for not wanting mraz to appear on "american dreams" - as dion, no less?

in better news, i'm focusing on musical discovery of my own. nothing like hearing music you've never heard before ... it brings me great joy.
