You want to know what real emotional music is? Delete your illegally downloaded album by Taking Back Sunday and put on Nina Simone's Feeling Good and listen to her raspy voice sing your pain away and be in awe at how she shows you her soul. Let a vinyl copy of Buffalo Springfield sing For What It's Worth and you will be humbled wishing your life was as significant as those of the flower children whose dreams were shredded to pieces. Need advice on love? Otis Redding: Try A Little Tenderness. Pure innocence in all its rupture and chaos: Helter Skelter The Beatles. Marilyn Manson never got as much press as Elvis Presely shaking his hips to Hound Dog. Pure angst and frustration is found in Satisfaction by the Stones. Real soul is found in Thelonious Monk. Real feminism isn't Ani Di Franco or Jill Sobule, its Ella Fitzgerald singing Cry Me A River. Poetic Justice is found in Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. A true understanding of pain is in Floyd. All your answers to life can be found through Miles Davis. See the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder's Living In The City and tell me who has a better understanding of life; a blind man with talent beyond your comprehention, or a bunch of kids dressed up in black eyeliner screaming that they aren't OK.

You want answers to the world. Listen to those artists, crack open your copy of 1984, light a cigarette and tell me you don't feel closer to yourself and have a beter understanding of the world. If you don't, then you seriously need to re-evaluate your place in this world.
