Good to see you writing again. Well, we like what we like. Christian love has just plain taken all the wind out of my metal sails I'm afraid. <br /><br />I do, however, look upon it as a valid form of art, and I don't criticize it negatively, as I feel I lost that right when I ceased to enjoy it personally, as an art form. I hate it when somebody who obviously has no appreciation for the art that I do love becomes a critic of it. You can sense their disdain in their fakey reviews in things like "Rolling Stone" magazine and such. <br /><br />I break out a little Staind every now and again still, (though I don't think they're Metal, but merely harder rock). This is in large measure because of Aaron Lewis' marvelous lyrical ability and introspection. That's about as close as I can get anymore the the thrash and riot of metal music. <br /><br />For the dark side, give me Johnny Cash's last few years of sparse, haunting redemption songs, and apocalyptic imagery, with his mournful, pain laden, "been there, done that" voice.<br /> <br /> I do love reading essays on virtually anything, as long as the writer is sincere on the subject they're writing about. Enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and it is always infectuous. Your essays bring that out. You make me wish I could love this music that is so precious to you. That's what honest, good writing does. Welcome back.
