I realized that a lot of rolling stones songs are actually kind of dark. Like I always thought that the song brown sugar was just about brown sugar, so I was kind of surprised that it was about slavery. Also there was a song about little girl running for her life. It's kind of weird how a lot of their songs sound happy when they're really not.

I like that revolver album that you showed us. I don't know what my favorite song was from the album but the most tripiest song I thought was the song with the hip hop beat and the weird vocals with John Lennon. I wonder if that song is kind of what started hip hop/rap. If so that's interesting. Also I forget the name of the song but it had a really good guitar riff and I liked it.
Last summer I saw a band called the Gin Blossoms. They were a band from the 90's and they came out with some good music during that decade. Their first album that they came out with had some good songs though their other albums weren't as good because their bassist/songwriter killed himself because of an alcohol addiction. A lot of their songs on that album were about alcohol, I bet that was the reason why.

I can't wait till I go to ACL, there are a lot of bands that I haven't heard of but it will still be really fun. The band that I'm looking forward to seeing the most is The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They're the main reason I wanted to go. Tickets were really expensive and hard to get, but it was worth it.I've been looking forward to the concert for weeks, I just hope on Sunday it doesn't rain.

Last night I went to see a band that was a tribute band for Pink Floyd. They were called the Australian Pink Floyd. They were pretty good and they sounded almost exactly like the regular Pink Floyd, but what I didn't like Is about half of the songs they played were songs that Pink Floyd wrote after they left the band. Though they did play a lot of songs that I like from the albums The Wall, and The Dark Side Of The Moon. They also had a lot of cool props but one put a bunch of smoke in the air and set off the fire alarm so they had an intermission. I wish they would've played more of their hits songs though overall I liked them.

I thought that was insane how the drummer of THE WHO stuck actual dynamite in the drums. I mean he could've killed someone. I'm surprised the band didn't kick him out after that. I would've been furious if I was in a band and that happened. Also what was even more stupid was how he dove into an empty pool. Was he on drugs?

I liked the documentary about the Beatles. I was surprised that at the time the Beatles hairstyles were considered outrageously long where now if a rock band grew their as long as the Beatles their hair would actually be considered short. Another thing that was weird was how crazy people were going everywhere they went.

I thought it was funny how a lot of the bands that you told us about were psychotic. Like Jerry Lee Lewis married his 12 year niece and he was a murderer also. Plus Elvis Presley was dating a girl named Priscilla before she was even 18, and I can't remember the name of the band this was ,but the one that I thought was the most bizarre was the band manager that fell in love with one of the band members mom had a kid and then got married to his mom and became his step dad.
My favorite type of rock is grunge. A lot of the reason I like it is
because my dad listens to that kind of music a lot so I'm familiar with a
wide variety of grunge bands. Another reason why I like grunge is
because I like how the music is very uptempo and sounds kind of like
hard rock and heavy metal. One thing that I thing is strange is how
during the 90's a lot of people in grunge bands started taking heroin.
Like Kurt Cobain committed suicide because of an addiction to heroin. The
singer from Alice in Chains died because of an overdose of heroin, and
the singer from Sound Garden use to be hooked on heroin but then quit. I
guess the reason rockers were on heroin was because it was just a
popular drug in the 90's. My favorite bands are Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Sound Garden.
