In my profile description, in the television section, I indicated that I really liked their album "Marquee Moon", as a joke for sure since I do not watch television, but also to say that I really like this band.

The worst thing about 9/11 is that its my brother-in-law's birthday so when everyone else is holding silent vigils we are partying it up. Makes for some very interesting looks. As for my opinion of television, it couldn't be any lower. I remember when I was a kid the children's programming was excellent but now the crap they put on tv just teaches kids to be, well, whiny little pricks. My son is 12 and the crap he watches on tv seriously blow's my mind. Finally couldn't stand it so much I got rid of tv, though I do have Netflix. Mainstream media just feeds everyone bullshit half truths that just infuriate me. Quick example my dad told me proves my whole point. When he was in college he worked for the local media filming a protest. About fifteen people showed up for the protest but they waited to film the clip until in-between classes. They then filmed and said I quote " There were over 700 students on the green during the time of the protest". While technically true just another way media skews everything, and that happened 40 years ago. I'd like to think things have gotten better since then but sadly I think they have gotten worse. I could rant for hours on this subject but I wont. Already ranted enough I think. Have a wonderful day and stay positive.
