I don’t feel like the Georgia Public School Systems are that bad. South Carolina was much worse when I lived there with my dad in Sullivans Island, Charleston of all places. Most kids were rich as hell there and were in private schools, but i went to the public and I think it was about 80% blacks and me and a couple white kids who weren’t rich. The teaching was pathetic.
Ga schools are a lot better then that and I think this private schooling notion is overrated… Everyone stops learning at some point and its up to you as an individual to pursue things and find out what interests you and learn as much as possible. I push myself like crazy in music theory but when it comes to general schooling these college classes irritate the crap out of me and I just get by. I don’t think private schooling (Which i did have when I was younger) would ever change that. Like I said, its totally up to the individual person. My brothers all are at UGA in real majors not bullshit ones like journalism. They’re PreFarm, and PreMed.. They never went to Athens Academy. Everyone decides their own fate.
Sorry for the rant, but I felt this was very necessary. And about the reunion, I would support J in anything as a fan because why take a step backwards when you’ve worked for years to propell yourself in a different direction as an artist. I always have the recordings for those years and thats enough for me because frankly the two shows I saw last year here in Athens last year were way above normal par. I remember looking around and seeing bored eyes as he was soloing for the 9th minute and I just felt lucky to be able to be in his prescence. Damn fratboys!

"Motive power—thought Dagny, looking up at the Taggart Building in the twilight—was its first need; motive power, to keep that building standing; movement, to keep it immovable. It did not rest on piles driven into granite; it rested on the engines that rolled across a continent."
I normally have dreams that are like running water and I’m peeing in my dream or something and just taking a real long piss. I wake up and thank god I didn’t wet the bed like I would have when I was six. I run to the bathroom and go back to sleep only to have some weird dream like I’m fighting with bunnies or something. I have weird dreams. But I have also had my rockstar dreams.
I had been playing little wing by hendrix a lot but not nearly up to speed or anything, my cadence is definitely all off. Anyways I had a dream he was sitting in front of me playing it but it sounded like the version I play (ugly.) I was all egotistical and was like "Shit man I can play it better then that and I grabbed the guitar and jammed out and we bullshitted for a bit and I don’t remember anymore.
I also had a daydream involving hendrix a couple years ago I wrote about it in one of my journals.. I was playing jimi really loud and my apartment door was open… A robin was sitting outside whistling insanely loud and it all fit the melody of the songs. I started wondering if it was the Jimi Hendrix incarnate. Strangely enough, I don’t do any drugs.
You didn’t specifically specify what kind of books. Like Html/CGI/PHP/perl/ whatever books? Graphics design, website specific books? What kind?
This guy is an asshole! I’ve never read any reviews before, is this how everyone gets treated? This was ridiculous, he sat there and berated him for no reason. I don’t understand who would want the job of a critic, they’re washed up, bitter people.
I just saw J two times last year and how much older he was made it that much more meaningful to me when he stomped on that distortion box and proceeded to slit my throat with his raunchy guitar phrasing. He came in to the Caledonia on one of his "pseudo acoustic shows" and had this purple fuzzy ball skiing cap on and this big purple coat. It was awesome, he inspired me so much with that performance and to be so old and still rocking out and being creative, doing what he loves. God bless fucking J! I think we should make the Salem ancestors proud and burn that critic on a stake!
All three shows I’ve been too here in Athens, it seems like people are always yelling "The Wagon J, The Wagon"…
I think he has a lot better songs and my favorite to hear personally is Thumb. I think that is J’s hands down best song. I know this is my opinion but I just feel like he has a lot more songs better then The Wagon, its actually one of my least favs.
Is it just me?
I think I’m going to go with those Vic Firth noise isolater headphones. They’re available from Muscian’s Friend for about $20.00. Thanks for all the replies though.
