Well ....... here I start off with my first blog i guess. The reason aint much ....... just wanted to write a blog (thats it ...... really!!). now that I have taken up the step of writing a blog ...... the next step inevitably means writing some meaningful content (and that my friend is a difficult predicament). Where do i start from?? ....... maybe from ground zero (a.k.a real-time). There is a lot going through my head at the moment though ........ work, music, creative arts and so on and so forth. Maybe the only part that is constant throughout from all this is probably music. For me music is not knowing one particular genre ...... or even expressing loyalty to one particular group, band or singer. its all about the feeling created within you thru the kind of music you hear. If you have to ask my kinda music then most probably the answer would be 'Rock'. Although that doesnt mean that im blissfully ignorant about the other genres of music. But there is something about this specific genre that just demands my attention.
Loathe me if you want to but there really is a very true sense of 'oneness' in Rock music. if you dont trust me on that ....... then watch any live Rock Concert......... the energy ....... the crowd chant ....... the wave ......... the rides ........ the effects .......... the madness. right from the point where the intro of a gig starts to the very end, all minds are focussed as one. Every single person in that arena, irrespective of their personal ability to sing or even perform, gets united in one voice, one spirit ...... and yes one mind (perhaps thats the closest you will ever get to the very definition of unity). But then you would probably argue that its the same with any other genre ....... but then again the energy that is seen in a rock concert is seen nowhere else. The lead may be dead tired and damn exhausted...... but when he hears the crowd chant the lyrics of the song ........ his energy is doubled ....... thats something you wont probably see anywhere else.
Why did I start talking about this you might ask ......... well the answer is pretty simple. music is an inevitable part of us .... it drowns your sorrows and expresses your feelings ........ what better depiction of emotions........ Music is one of the strongest weapons these days too. Look at the global messages sent across by the Live8 concert and more recently the Live Earth concert (and those were the biggest gigs on the planet mind you). This may be the first post on this topic, but surely not the last one by me. more comming up on this front. Till then i leave you with these lines of Nickelback................

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
