so... i want to share a story about my cousin.
He's still single and currently owns his own house in Providence. Goes on few dates and he was with us when i went to the air show.
On our way back, I asked for my radio station, because my dad's was only playing commercials at the moment. And the next song was "hey there Delilah" by the Plain White T's. [good song] and i made a comment about how tender the song was... my cousin objected, and we got into a debate of music and bands.
He claimed that today's bands merely stuck words together to make up a band name and it was lame...
He claimed that most bands were just one hit wonders and that they were dead the moment they came out...
I asked him what made a good band name,
he gave me examples like the Eagles, and Pink Floyd...
I asked what was wrong with Plain White T's, Panic at the Disco and Flyleaf,
He said they weren't oringinal...
I asked him to come up with one...
he didn't... he said it wasn't worth anything to him...
I asked him why?...
Then "Istanbul" by They might Be giants came on the radio
I asked him if they were lame,
he said no because they were his time...
I asked why They might be giants were so much better at making a band name then Panic at the Disco,
He didn't answer...
I called him prejudice towards today's music because he just likes his 'generation's better.
He called me biased...
I told him that being biased means i have an opinion, which is better than being prejudice.
I then asked about the one hit wonders that he mentioned... and asked about various ones like Citizen King
He admited that music everywhere is full of one hit wonders...
So i asked why my generation's were different?
he didn't say much after that.
I asked for examples of one hit wonders from my generation... he didn't give me any. I could think of many but he didn't know any. I could give him some from his generation, but not the other way around.
I think i won that debate...
don't you?
