The Greatest Band In The World
A long ass fuckin' time ago, in a town called Kickapoo...
Like Rolling Stone magazine said, any album that kicks off with that line can't be all that bad. The only thing they got wrong is that they wouldn't know a good Tenacious D album if it slapped them in the face with a stale fish. Okay, so I'm terribly, pathetically, desperately biased. But that doesn't take away from the fact that The Pick of Destiny is one of the coolest albums of 2006. Yes, I will get off my D trip, but give it a bit. In fact, give it a lot. 'Cos any band that can claim to be "the greatest band in the world" and pull it off without looking like cleverly packaged emo buffoons (read Angels & Ariwaves) are the greatest band in the world. Or nearly there.
In completion of my dissertation I need to interview people about Rock music and what it means to them and what they think about it. And I have realised that one can't really be stupid enough to think that this would really work. I think I'm more confused now than when I started. Which is cool, 'cos then I see pictures like this and I'm happy.
I intensely dislike the fact that I have everybody's music. And that that is my problem.

You do not have everybody's music.
And that is not the problem, You know that. Maybe equality wasn't meant for equals. Maybe it is all a state of mind. Maybe everything is.
Which is the Best Band in the world? Who are you to judge that? What is everything? How do you know Music means enough or not enough? Who are we to decide what is right and what is wrong? What is good and what isn't good enough?
Of course what you own is yours and you can choose to do what you want to with it. And maybe that is what sorts everything out.
Your life is what You choose to make of it. Your problems are what you choose to look at as problems. Your music is at your disposal.
It all depends on the way you look at it.
But then again maybe You think it's like this but really it's like this.
