He speaks the truth about the baby boomers being the most self absorbed, destructive group of humans ever to exist.I just turned 50, and I am innundated with AARP shit. Read it over and the theme is the same: ME ME ME. I want my discount, I want w... 
What started you on the merry go round?
When I was 6 my Mom bought me my first record player, along with lots of records that I loved (In 1963, there were many to love :) Between this event and her lifelong love of playing her Piano, music was burned into my soul.Really that was the roo...

Ugliest Speakers???
Marco- Before you knock the Hello Kitty's, you should really hear them driven by a fine 300B SET. It's like Kelly Clarkson is in the room with you! 
Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise
Spiritualized- I wish I had said it as well as you :)Thanks!
