Thinking about this lovely little project the other day, I did a little math. Fifty albums in a little over ninety days equals less than two days to listen, review and blog each album. That, my friends, is a lot of blogging. And listening.
I really have no problem with the listening part of this. Listening to music can make me feel better when I'm sick, mad, depressed, confused, needing inspiration, or pining over some boy and wanting to feel all warm inside. Also, I love how music is so apt at delivering messages.
One good example is in the form of two songs by the Black Eyed Peas. "One Tribe" describes the need for people to function with love and respect for their fellow man and promotes peace. "Now Generation", on the other hand, speaks to me more about the common theme that my generation is one that demands so much, and wants it all now. They sing about it in a kind of mocking way, but I kind of get their point. We DO want everything now, but that's not just limited to high speed internet and texting. This generation also wants peace now, climate change now, health care reform now, an end to genocide now, education reform now, civil rights for all now, all these things our forefathers weren't able to do. So, maybe now isn't such a bad thing.
Like how I should really be doing my French homework, right now.
