I truly believe that music (if it's coming from an honest place / not what you want the world to see you as) is the strongest link we have to God. I don't mean that in a blasphemous way. But, rather in a literal way! So, if it's real music... regardless if it's genre/origin it's something I openly welcome into my life! "We are the sum total of our experiences"! My mother said that to me through-out my whole life, and it rings truer with every passing day! I've found, that there are no better experiences than the ones found in music! To be truly eclectic, you have to first rid yourself of stereotypes associated with specific "genres"! Then be awair of how the music makes you feel, and then how the lyrics relate to your feeling and your life! With time, you WILL find yourself in possession of a gift infinitely greater than any material object!

There are no "genres that I dislike... only "types" I dislike. For example... most of the 80's rock bands were coming from a place in their soul that cares more about how they're viewed, than how their music affects peoples lives! That, to me, is no more real than the idea that we've been evolving for millions of years. (If anything, the world is clearly [more evident now than ever] devolving! Leading myself away from telling you how the gvmnt. is, and what I think about the way things are going world wide so as to avoid giving you the opportunity to be led by someone no more or less capable of "telling it like it is" than any other person. There are fewer problems with this world (and mostly with this country) than people being told what is or isn't good, cool, acceptable, polite, etc.. I have very little tolerance for people that conduct their lives by the fashion sense of some celebrity conveyed to you via TV or magazines! On the simple level... If your friends don't understand how you could do something as audacious as wear a shirt that has been black balled by their fav mag. Than they're not your friend at all! So, that being said, listen to whatever makes you feel the way you need to in every moment!
